We have an full year of history here demonstrating otherwise.
This argument is kind of complicated, due to being full of dates, but I think that I have demonstrated that the assumption AudioUTOPIA was absorbed into R2R, at least closely after cracking iLok 2, is not rational. In fact, a lot of R2R releases follow the similar pattern of R2R performing the crack initially, then releasing updates. This date is of particular importance, because it shows that R2R was releasing iLok 2 cracks along the same time we last saw AudioUTOPIA releases, late 2016. November 24th, 2016, they did it yet again. March 5th, 2016, they released an updated Melodyne. On February 8th, 2016, R2R released Celemony Melodyne. As I said, R2R iLok 2 releases started early 2016. R2R has updated their iLok protected releases more than AudioUTOPIA has, so it's harder for me to name their initial iLok 2 releases, as I wouldn't keep an archive of plugins that have a working update, but I will give an example that spans 2016. This is the latest AudioUTOPIA release I can recall without seriously digging. Furthermore, McDSP's AE600 Active EQ was released by AudioUTOPIA on December 24th, 2016. A few days later, AudioUTOPIA released Slate Digital updates, and Verbsuite Classics for the first time.
Empirical Labs Arousor, for example, was released under the AudioUTOPIA name in late 2016. At least a few of these releases came notably after R2R started releasing iLok 2 cracks, which was not far into 2016. To add some skepticism- After the initial Mid December (19th in my timezone) 2015 iLok 2 cracks by AudioUTOPIA, whereas nearly the entire iLok catalogue was cracked, AudioUTOPIA still popped in every now and then to hand over a release.
