I wouldn't consider that sneakiness I look at it as due diligence, trust is earned not just given, the new owners have alot of skin in the game so they need to protect themselves as much as possible. They don't know yet who is a good worker who sucks all they have to go by is numbers and the businesses success on paper.
I recently had been considering acquiring someone elses business and it was very important the owner did not say anything to the staff that he was considering to sell because I wanted to see how the staff truly behaved and I learned alot and why not to buy that business with what i saw.

That's different than what Trudi described. Once you they knew they wanted the business there should have been no secrecy after that.
