The only thing they should nail these guys for is the iPhone Q3 sales numbers. That is definitely insider information.
Those supposed "bombshells" were well known in more detail before this guy leaked them. For heavens sake, we had rumors of front and rear cameras for the iPhone 3Gs -- whoop-dee-dooo if this guy says he heard there will be such a thing on the next iPhone. I wish somebody would have paid me $22,000 for that information (you could have gotten it by reading these rumor sites).
Regarding the whole K48 thing.... he gives nothing about a release date for it or a description of what it is (e.g.: a tablet). Hey, if anybody is willing to pay, I can confirm that Apple has at least one super-secret project going on with a three-character code name, and if you even utter the code name you could get fired. The only information this guy gives is "new class of product" and "won't have a camera". There was far better speculation on the iPad a whole 3 years prior to its release.
So while I believe folks should keep to their word and abide by their NDAs, I think the only thing you will be able to nail these guys on are the sales figures. Everything else was less substantial than speculation already in rumor-ville, and he did little to confirm or deny rumors with his vague information. Insider information is about having the upper-hand on others for trading purposes.
