If you look at the metadata of both the white paper and the analysis, you can see that the creation time of them is only 2 hours, 50 minutes apart.

And that's the creation date, not even when they were published.

(Replying to myself because I can't edit my post anymore)

Edit: And it gets better! If you check the HTTP headers when requesting the whitepaper from their servers, it will tell you that the file was placed there (last-modified) at 13:22 GMT, so just 1 hour before Viceroy Research Group created their analysis - and probably ages before the actual news broke.
