    Carl Icahn is one of the most infamous corporate raiders of all time. He would casually make hostile bids to take over Fortune 100 and even Fortune 10 companies throughout the 80s and 90. Once he got his hands on these companies, he would gut them by eliminating everything that didn’t make a profit and selling off the remaining assets. This practice would absolutely destroy the company and the people who worked there, but for Icahn and his investors, this was quite lucrative and profitable. But, ever since the turn of the century, corporate raiding hasn’t been nearly as popular. In fact, corporate raiding has completely disappeared into oblivion aside from a few exceptions like Twitter. Icahn himself has taken a step back from raiding. In late 2012, for example, he purchased a 10% stake in Netflix but he never raised this to a controlling stake like he usually would. There have also been accusations recently that Icahn may have been running a Ponzi scheme with his investors in recent history. This video explains the rise and fall of prolific investor and corporate raider: Carl Icahn

      I imagine that a large chunk of the raider's profit is through ignorant investors who just see the stock's meteoric rise and want to buy the pump.
      I was wondering about the company thing too. But it makes sense in a way. A barebones profit driven workforce, with a big patronage is a lucrative buy for a conglomerate. They get to have a company with a streamlined setup and a large number of clients. All they have to do is patch it up to sustain in its own umbrella. Maybe brand it as their own. Help them with the shared resources then absorb them. Good deal, wouldn't you say?

      As one with some experience in M&A, I'd say it's not unethical. You are looking at what haggling looks like in the financial market. In the worst case, it's just a lot of fuss for little economic value overall, though there can be winners and losers. In the best case, it unlocks potential and frees up capital for other ideas.

It is insane how a hedge fund can continue to short and sell while stock is not yet purchased, and the most criminally worst of all they refuse to legally buy back all those Fail-To-Deliver. At this point they ran out of plays and decided to just steal from retailers in plain sight while the SEC turns a blind eye.
