    - Insider trading basically. - spamlet Nov 18, 15:13 19

        I don't think the claim is a winner (or will even be pursued), but I think the point of the article is more that it's market manipulation than insider - pmb Nov 18, 15:25 12

        I largely agree, but again, it's just not an option available to any investor so it shows how the markets are somewhat rigged in favor of those who - pmb Nov 18, 15:44 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        It's a great example of how the market gets driven by very few people, many of whom are dangerously reckless. -- nm - David Nov 18, 15:28 7
        
        The counterpoint is that all the investors in that company benefitted. His actions generated a high valuation of the company. The flipside of course - pmb Nov 18, 15:31 6
        
        [deleted] 5
        
        Of course, but this was an acquisition that he essentially orchestrated not for the best interests of the company, but for his own. - pmb Nov 18, 15:48 4
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Again, yes. I'm just trying to make the point about why this "feels different". He wasn't really looking to be the purchaser (though he was willing - pmb Nov 18, 15:58
        
        How is this different than the 'old' version of the hostile takeover? -- nm - Ender Nov 18, 15:51 1
        
        Really, it just never got that far. And there's a reasonable chance it wouldn't have (it's expensive and there are often defenses available to the - pmb Nov 18, 16:00
        
        "basically". It's not under the current definition which is why I'd expect something to be done to shut down collusion of this type. -- nm - spamlet Nov 18, 15:24
        
        Pshaw! What do you know about insider trading?! -- nm - Ender Nov 18, 15:18 1
