Bad English, number one, but I suppose it's someone's "high brow" way of saying something along the lines of integrity abstaining from need...if that makes more sense.

It's a shortened version. The full sentence would probably be, "I trust the foregoing information will suffice."
And I believe that "foregoing" is not correct in that context. "Aforementioned" would be proper.
