Hugh Hefner’s offer to purchase the shares of Playboy Enterprises Inc. that he doesn’t already own may have been foreshadowed by a posting on Twitter.

“Meeting with Playboy CEO Scott Flanders this afternoon to discuss direction of the company,” Hefner wrote three days ago. The item appeared at 2:43 p.m. New York time, when U.S. stock exchanges were open for trading.
