If it were a public company, I'd agree with you. I don't think the motivations are the same for a private company as they have direct lines of communication wit

  If it were a public company, they wouldn't have to leak their financials. It would already be public.

    They're public only on quarterly boundaries. Leaks prior to the reports tend to be quite valuable to investors/speculators.

      The article states quite clearly that the numbers that were allegedly leaked to them are from last fall.

  Press reports are often perceived with more credibility than direct communication. And yes - this can be exploited to run the buzz machine.
