Not sure your explanation makes sense to me.

I'm also a part of a few expert netowrks and I probably get to take phone calls a dozen times a year to help people who need information on my area of expertice.

What specific person would someone contact to findout that Microsoft has unannounced tax liabilities that wouldn't' in anyway break insider trading rules?

Who possibly could attest to this type of information and would freely offer it up? No serious expert network member would ever do this as it would be the end of their career and expose them to serious jail time.

Perhpas you could fleshout your explanation some more here.
