Probably!
Nearly every story that has been a 'bombshell' to the followers concerned, originated on Moo - not AW.Net, A.ORG or a press release.
A couple of days ago I would have dismissed it. However with threads on AW.Net, A.ORG and a resounding silence from Trevor - I would guess it is pretty much true.

"I normally refrain from posting in this type of thread, believing it does more bad than good and gives credence to the original "story". Suffice to say the A1-X1000 project is continuing as planned."
I'll get my coat then.
