Possibly, but I was following things quite closely in those key days and I only ever saw one tangible rumour - a post here on CP - that FWIW I don't disbelieve, but it was clearly one side of a story that had gone through an unknown number of distortions (people) from the direct participant to the post here.
It was fascinating to watch rumour spin to fact without any more corroborating evidence...just lots of news tidbits that could fit multiple scenarios, including this particular narrative. And disregarding other reporting that contradicts the notions of radio silence or that it was as simple as 'JG: demands! --> BT: deal!' - which is how many posters characterize it.
Nobody can tell me
how they know or
where they heard it, but everyone knows it for sure!
