My suspicion also, they outright quoted a rumor mill forum post here: https://meeco.kr/mini/34835643

Someone reading that article might have walked away with the impression that Samsung's collapse is imminent, which seems to be the narrative often touted on the internet circles by people with some type of stake in TSMC or its allied subsidiaries.

"Clients and employees of SemiAnalysis may hold positions in companies referenced in this article."

I mean from the authors disclaimer here we can see why the article reads like some Zerohedge article. I hope the author can afford expensive lawyers because there's just no way Samsung is going to let the author off the hook, they've gone after journalists for way less.
