This is the first criticism of Bloomberg's story that made a decent point (along with several bad ones). I definitely believe Apple or Amazon would lie, I definitely believe they might get told to by the feds, I definitely believe the Chinese government has at least looked into the idea of using their hold on the supply chain to get intelligence. The idea that there are much easier ways to do this, however, is an important one.
I believe Bloomberg and companies that compete with Supermicro have just as much reason, and possibly more to lie. To continue to manipulate the markets against white box vendors.
