Who normally leaks this sort of thing? Who would be upset by this? If anything it only makes the other investors look savvy for making a fat return.

If you can't trust your investors to keep their mouth shut about a deal in progress or that is under wraps for reasons important enough to the acquirer and the acquiree then investors follow suit and happily count their money. Such loose lips can sink deals in the worst cases. Very unprofessional.
