This is modus operandi of many PE firms so you'll find hundreds upon hundreds of people with the same story.

It's like wondering why every farmer has a similar story when a locust swarm comes.

My memory is far from perfect, but I don't think that was me.

It's pretty much exactly how a growth-focused PE is supposed to work so one would hope it has actually happened that way at least a few times.
