At least I can confirm on my new antminer s9 that it stops and by changing pool does not help it doing so again.
So I have a high doubt it´s true.

-------------------------
Antbleed is a backdoor introduced by Bitmain into the firmware of their bitcoin mining hardware Antminer.
The firmware checks-in with a central service randomly every 1 to 11 minutes. Each check-in transmits the Antminer serial number, MAC address and IP address. Bitmain can use this check-in data to cross check against customer sales and delivery records making it personally identifiable. The remote service can then return "false" which will stop the miner from mining.
