>> But presumably his investors already had his numbers, they aren't waiting for a blog post linked to by tech crunch to find out. For clarification, from the OP's OP, TC didn't exactly have to do any investigative journalism to get this data. BI released it voluntarily themselves from the beginning. TC got their data from that post: "Well, we're a private company, and we've never disclosed any of that stuff, either. But I'm honestly not sure why. So we're going to try an experiment. We're going to disclose that stuff. Then we're going to see if something horrible happens to us. If it does, we'll probably never disclose that stuff again. If it doesn't, maybe we'll still never disclose that stuff again--because, you know, it's "confidential" and "competitive" and "we're private, so we don't have to disclose that stuff." But, in any event, here goes."
