Wow, that is a cruel thing to say to a client. I would be devastated if I wanted something from T only to have them tell me glibly how they gave it to other clients, but not me.
The intent of any disclosure is typically geared towards a client's benefit and/or well-being. What was beneficial in that, apart from creating a world of pain? Not only was this poorly done but not ethical either.
