But if your unwitting tipper was saying this to someone within his firm, yes, that was my point. It would not be hard to get info by talking to people around the office, and even if you did, that would get you on the list of people who had information, but if you weren't trading ourself (as the dead guy didn't seem to be), it would still make identifying your note taker as the real tipper quite difficult.

If it is not hard to get info by talking to people around the office, there are too many loose lips.* Firms regularly talk to people working on these kinds of deals about the importance of not talking to anyone about the deal, not even within the firm. Not even if they otherwise work on matters involving the company.
*Yes, I know it happens.
