I do not think this is the case.
What I see is that old LIRs holding address space they no longer use, 
because they are not providing internet services,  sell it when they 
realize it has a value. In many cases address space brokers make an 
effort tracing down unused space and puts it to use.

I also see new LIRs beeing set up to sell the space for profit.
