*@Nemo: *IB haven't claimed an IB insider broke their contract with IB in
any of this.
Agree "+1" as well :)
*@Tom:* Case law is all about analogous situations so these matter very
much.
The side-suggestion you make is more about tortious deception (I pretend to
be an employee or official representative of someone, or pretend not to
be), but that's not alleged here. "Who was involved with whom" and
relationships between those involved were unambiguous by the sound of it.
(It is hard to imagine any of the individuals now complaining "I wouldn't
have done/agreed that if I'd known who you really were/really represented")

obligation of loyalty.
Nobody is suggesting that is the case here, or an IB staffer was
involved.
Nobody except IB of course.

This is what IB appear to be alleging.
All of these metaphor, however, are very interesting; but not really utile
in advancing the discussion. We can all think up varying metaphors to
support our points - fortunately courts do not rely on metaphors :)
