Why would "they" go to all this trouble and expense to stop? Because "they" can make money doing it, as Medchal so perceptively points out. Quite simple, and "they've" done it before, more than once.
And now we see Clayton is moving on, and will only be a consultant of sorts for the the company? Moving on to his next venture, of course, and still taking consulting benefits from the company. Do you really think he is going to keep all of his money and stock in Drake, which he is moving away from, and not put it into whatever venture he next chooses to be a part of? Pretty unlikely, from a common sense standpoint.
Seems pretty simple to me, really. Of course this could be a real business, but if you look at what they have done "transparently" and how they have done it, it most certainly could NOT be a real business.
