Ummm...no. He is telling information gained while hanging with his friends. Breach of etiquette and norms to say the least.


There is no identifying information. Could be any actors' sons, could be any of maybe 400 clubs in Hollywood, and anyway that behavior isn't a breach of contract for something like an investment prospectus unless they also had to sign an NDA.
