I have a contact in China which I use for sourcing inventory. Last week I asked her to look into getting ahold of the Avalon chips for less than the 0.085~ BTC rate the chips are typically going for in this forum's group buy threads. She contacted the TSMC foundry, which said that they aren't producing the chips anymore. At the time I brushed it off as maybe she had bad information or any other numbers of things could have happened, but with this new information this does not bode well.

LOLOLOLOL, right.

she and by extension, you; are full of shit, or have some serious brass in your pockets, getting information on which company is producing chips at the foundry, let's forget the NDAs. Oh let me guess you also know that foundry uses project numbers, nobody even know what's an Avalon Chip over there.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

also, parts came in, expect update this weekend.

This is all I had to go on:

I have money invested in Avalon chips, and the goal of my posts was to get a somewhat authoritative response debunking my info. I couldn't have asked for more than hearing from Yifu himself, so thanks for that.

It should prob be said here that even IF this would be true, they could very well have already produced enough to cover all current orders and more, and since moved on to producing a new chip design. Aka. This is not even at worst proof that the chips aren't being shipped.
