Another article with a note about one of the suits, and of interest re Yahoo... upside.com March 03, 2001 12:00 AM ET by Matt Berger On Trial: Henry Blodget An even juicier lawsuit to watch: A 46-year-old pediatrician filed an arbitration case with the New York Stock Exchange alleging Merrill Lynch and its aging Internet-industry guru, Henry Blodget, held a "buy" rating on InfoSpace (INSP) to keep its stock up until the investment bank was able to broker a deal to acquire Go2net, the Wall Street Journal reported. Isn't that how it's supposed to work? Merrill Lynch was the financial adviser for Go2Net in its $4 million acquisition by InfoSpace, which was announced on July 26. Debasis Kanjilal argues that Blodget reiterated his "buy" recommendation on InfoSpace prior to the deal to pump the stock so the deal would go through. The private investor is seeking $800,000 in compensatory damages and $10 million in punitive damages. Yahoo: Execs flee, board watches its back The Canadian head of Yahoo (YHOO) Mark Rubinstein resigned from the Internet portal Friday, the fourth in an exodus of top-level executives to leave international divisions of Yahoo. Also on Friday, Yahoo approved a shareholder rights plan that will protect the company from a hostile takeover. While no buyers have stepped up to the plate so far and it would consider a buyer if the price was right, Yahoo says, its shrinking share price and growing presence makes it a ripe company for the picking by a land-loving media company. The Walt Disney Co. (DIS) and CBS's parent company Viacom (VIA) are two companies analysts have speculated would be good buyers, though both publicly denied any interest in acquiring Yahoo.
