Stick around any corporation (especially one that is heavily regulated and has a revolving door with the government) and you'll hear all kinds of stories.
I'd put this into that bucket of "someone I trust told me they heard the story from someone they trust". It means the story may not be true and they don't have any hard evidence, but they found it believable enough to repeat.
