You have a "no" (as in "it's not true") from Alyona above. And here, from me: no, it's a silly rumour.
When I first heard it, I asked Alyona about it and I told her that it sounds like a really dumb, unconvincing rumour. She confirmed it. So, again: no, it's just a rumour.
C'mon, think about it: Plarium allegedly made a secret, nefarious bot plan, but we somehow got that info, even containing the exact date... Funny how we never get the wind of the real things going on. Like Kabam transfer, termination of non-relic targets, etc. But a mystical (and not very well thought of) plan to mess with us using "bots" that are all the rage now (although not many people understand what they even are)... for that we have a well informed source. Really?!?
