Infinitely many prime divisors for non-geometric generalized derangement sequences

The non-geometric prime-divisor conjecture. If is not a geometric progression, then the set is infinite.
The conjecture asks whether every generalized derangement sequence that is not geometric has infinitely many prime divisors among its terms. The paper states that this conjecture is false, so the claim is refuted.
