It would be equivalent of Sotheby's starting a second brand competing with themselves, but yes.

Sotheby's was founded in 1744 (1). They have a track record, a _brand_ to maintain.

Your average blockchain was founded recently, and have a lot less to lose taking the money and running, or popping up again under a new name, for a second go at the same shtick.
