I can't be sure of anything. However if you want to compare the situation with Copperhead, I would point to the fact that he had a very public falling out with his business partner. I see nothing of the sort here. I've only seen him say that he's handing over the reins to people he trusts.
(And by the way, I'm saying this as someone who had a lot of apprehension installing Graphene because I was afraid another Copperhead was going to happen.)
