Thanks for sharing.

Looks like they are more interested in forming a monopoly so they have no competition or they just want to lionshare of the VPNs out there. At the end of the day if you have already made an informed decision about a VPN these alleged dodgy reviews wont make too much of a difference. Nonetheless just keep an eye out, all you can do at this point

Hope this helps
