Pretty paranoid. When I "interacted" with that person last year, his only worry and worst-case scenario seemed to be that we want the main UBF leaders to resign.

Actually we don't want them to resign, but to repent.

When Samuel Lee was criticized by reformers, the hardcore members like Kaleb Hong always rejected any criticism and quoted the passage where David spared the life of Saul, particularly the verse "Who can lay a hand on the LORD's anointed?" This was so ridiculous, first to compare Samuel Lee with "the LORD's anointed", and second to equate criticizing Samuel Lee with being out to kill him. Nobody wanted anything bad of him, everybody wanted him good, namely repentance and eternal life.

Seems these people don't even consider the idea of repentance.

Also, it is very typical for cult members to make up such conspiration theories, to find such "clues" that indicate the critics and dropouts are somehow evil or Satan-controlled. For them, the world is black and white. UBF is God's ministry, everything else is satanic and out to destroy them. They actually need this as an affirmation for their world view.
