Brave and Private Internet Access?

If I remember right, a while back Brave was using Private Internet Access’s VPN to securely transfer product analytics on at least some of its software. Recently, PIA announced that it was being purchased by Kape, a company with a track record of producing malware. For sources, see

In light of this information, does anyone know if Brave is still using PIA in any way? And if so, will that relationship be re-evaluated?

I wasn’t aware of a relationship with PIA and Brave?
