Just 2 cents…but many contracts have morality clauses and I wouldn’t be surprised if there is “information that you get from doing your job” clauses.

This isn’t “a manager told me that there are likely to be a few surprises at the top of the draft…”. This is literally inside information about who is going where.

Anyone who has done finance work knows exactly about knowing something and agreeing that you won’t use that information for you or your friend’s financial gain. Whether it has material impact or value is irrelevant.

I’m sorry he lost his job.
