Weren't there a variety of corporate raiders in the mid 80s and early 90s who specialized in either threatening a company in this manner then walking away with a huge profit after the board freaked or they simply got the company and plundered it. T Boone Pickens comes to mind and I recall there were several others. Basically the same bastards as run the companies but these hacks plunder from without rather than from within.
