<<<<Since Berkshire is notorious for not leaking details of upcoming purchases or deals, the leak of this potential deal almost assuredly had to come from the OXY side>>>>

Iconic companies have to keep their secrets. Protecting core competence.

At Berkshire, it’s what they are goin to buy, when, not-done-with-buying etc. With more capital to be allocated in the coming decade than in the cumulative past, this is paramount. It helped that Buffett stuck to paper, including the dinner napkin to communicate deal terms. The sleuths likely go through trash and monitor Netjets traffic.

Wonder if they will nix this just to teach a lesson?
