Don't think anyone can know for sure either way to be honest. Especially as they can be pretty certain of hedging their bets with a big non coperation fine.
In the same way we can't know for sure Khaldoon didn't slyly bribe the PL to accuse us of 100+ breaches just to see how people on BM would react.
It just makes no sense, therefore safe to say it is almost certainly not that, even without outright knowing so.
