There's only so many people in this business. Sales and more specifically, the authorized sales reps, like to brag.
How do you think bitmain knows what their competitors are doing? How do you think I know what amazon paid Xilinx, or about recent purchases Bitmain made?

I give up. Tell me
I just did. The first thing any sales rep is going to do is tell you how wonderful of a company they are and how many huge businesses in your sector they're doing business with. All you need to do is ask some leading questions the right way. They'll happily provide you information that you can use a little bit of supposition with or in some instances, just directly tell you information they shouldn't. In the case of amazon, a xilinx authorized distributor sales' agent directly told me what amazon paid (without any leading questions).
