Due to his untrustworthy behavior, I can't say I'd be surprised if he leaked the memo himself, purposely including the deflection of revenue not being impacted or such.

Sounds a bit conspiracy theorist, but I would certainly be unsurprised.

Leaked? Ha! Let's call the memo what it is: a press release. A carefully crafted one full of deflections and to make VCs and future investors happy (no revenue impact!) while also allowing him to play the victim (you're in danger!)
