The Goons [1] knew about the attempt, and I think that one of the two people that presented this was a Goon. But from what I understand, this had nothing to do with external vendors, and didn't need any inside knowledge or connections to pull off.
[1] A Goon is a red shirt at DefCon and responsible for crowd control and security. (aka Bouncers - at the most basic description) Some goons are multi-hatted and also take part in other aspects of the DefCon staff.
