Who is doing the trading is the easy part (and the basis of "do you know any of these people" FINRA requests that sometimes come around after a deal closes). The hard part is who is doing the tipping, which is where your list making comes in.

If someone got the information by snooping around the offices, it would be easier to get away with it.

Yes and no. As I assume a person who would be willing to engage in insider trading likely would have no problem saying, "I don't know any of those people" even though his tippee is on the list, he probably isn't that easy to identify anyway.
