According to this article, MGT Capital has already mined 170 btc in 2 months with only 5ph:

McAfee says he has 400 Antminer s9's (lets say 14th/s model or 5600 th/s), seems like complete bs to mine that many coins in 2 months. Correct me if I am wrong but he would be lucky to mine that many coins with a 25 ph farm.  ???

On Alloscomp, putting in 25 PH estimates 170 BTC mined per week.

With 5.6 PH, the site estimates ~165 BTC per month mined, so it wouldn't be very unlikely that he has mined that much. Only mining 170 BTC in 2 months when it estimates ~1 month could mean that their luck has been bad, but I find it funny that it says they are ahead of schedule.
