cassidy resigns from oxr board, page-34

there ain't no six degrees of seperation when it comes to business, whispers and rumours (fact or fiction).

Generally mutual contacts tip-off, customers, ex-employees now working elsewhere and "staying in touch", bankers, etc.

You can generally get high quality intelligence for the simple price of a nice lunch with the right person.

It only take 2 degrees and almost no time and yes, it can take a good 60+ days to put all the right bits into an offer before it can be put on the table.

Both Ox and Zx will know each others intentions already, they either just can't get the cakes out for the world to judge because they are still baking in the oven, or there is a cat and mouse game waiting for second mover advantage.
