The info you were getting sounds a lot more like 'I heard it from a salesguy' than an 'industry source', considering that it's about as accurate as most 'Pentax/Leica is dead' type rumours.
My sources are the owners of a commercial photographic equipment supplier who carries high-end gear for corporate and industrial photographers in this locale and the owner of the leading professional camera retailers in the area here. Both of these people know the ins and outs of the equipment industry far better than I want to and keep track of what's going on by attending all the international gatherings.
That said, the comments were made in casual conversation, not as part of some investigative exposition, and perhaps I misunderstood what they were saying or they were speaking quickly. I'm happy to be incorrect.
In any event, I don't care enough to go looking it up, so if you simply want to say, "I'm right and you're wrong" and strut about on the good feelings that gives you for a week or so, go ahead.
I presume you're planning to invest in Hasselblad equipment now, which is why you'd be so intimately informed as to the business situation of the company. Good on you!
