Shady deal is made, funds for transaction laundered through any other unrelated service/product/discount/property/etc. Selected engineers at Company then “forget” to password protect data on a prototype/dev server, client grabs it anonymously from this location. Company makes announcement, knowing that if “no financial data was compromised”, the issue will blow over in a couple of days with no real consequences. But with the announcement, they’ve insulated themselves from any potential blowback if somebody got wind of the deal. Everybody moves on. Data sold.
