This seems like a state-sponsored hack to reveal this information (Solarwinds?). Way too much information for one IRS employee to leak. I would be incredibly surprised if anyone who had that kind of access to IRS returns (ie searchable database for everyone) would leak the 25 top earners. It does add up for the career risk to take that risk on especially as its not leaking anything illegal just shining a light on the injustices of the system.
