When you work for a client there are always things you cannot say. Non-disclosures are always signed. Giving the impression that the change was coming, IF he did know, would not have been good form either. PR's are the correct way for companies to release information, not with a wink and a nod over the phone with you. That is not IR lying, that is the company obeying the laws around dissemination of information that is not public. I never talked with Gary, but this is how it works in America.
