PIA got purchased by Kape Technologies a couple years ago. With their track record, you can choose to believe the report issued by consultants they paid, or you can just go to companies with better track records, like Mozilla VPN or Mullvad.
Seems like an easy choice to me.
I understand the sentiment about the inherent conflict of interest with paying someone to audit your software, but it's highly unlikely that anyone is going to do that work for free. I'd want some evidence before taking your comment for anything other than opinion/bias. I don't use any of these products so whatever the reality is doesn't affect me, it just seems like nuance is too easily lost.
