Personally I'm reserving judgement until this is confirmed by other news sources, because the details seem sparse, the motives unclear, and I don't hold Forbes in a high regard journalistically (though this is at least a staff writer, and not a contributor, so presumably there's more editorial oversight). My intuition is that there's a 55% chance this story is true, and a 45% chance it's incorrect or overstated.
