Diamond Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 It may be old already, but still Take-Two Gets A New Shareholder Unfortunately for them it's none other than Attorney Jack Thompson.Miami, Florida-based Attorney Jack Thompson today announced that he has purchased stock in Take-Two Interactive (NASDAQ: TTWO). The news came as a shock, but it appears that Thompson isn't out to make a profit from the stock. Rather, Thompson bought the stock so he could attend Take-Two's shareholders' meetings. At the meeting, Thompson plans to raise the issue of Take-Two CEO Paul Eibeler causing Take-Two's stock to fall through "catastrophic corporate governance."

Judge Hades Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I think it is time for Take Two take this guy to court. They seriously need to get a restraining order against him that he couldn't be in 1000 feet of any Take Two Employee or employees of their subsideraries.

213374U Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Why? Let him do whatever he wants, as long it's legal. If he brings up stupid points during the shareholder meetings, the others that are in to make a profit will just shoot him down. If they don't, then the company deserves to go down. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Judge Hades Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 He did not buy shares inthe comapny to make money or have a belief in their work. He bought shares for the whole purpose to continue his harrassment. That is his sole endaever in this. He is stalking and harrassing Take Two.

Judge Hades Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 What he needs to do is just leave people alone. If people want to make games like that and sell them thatis their affair. If people want to buy games like that that is their affair. If he disagrees with it then he should just not buy or play their games. Problem solved.

LoneWolf16 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 (edited) For that to work, Hades, he'd need a certain degree of "sense". Since he's without even the barest semblance of "sense" this is going to go on, and on, and on, until one day, some gamer gets a bit too fed up and runs the guy down then beats his corpse with a baseball bat GTA style. Then, his bull**** will be given credence by the actions of the very people who sought to discredit him.

Kaftan Barlast Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Just because its legal it doesnt mean its right. Purchasing stock with the sole intent of disrupting a companys work is unethical.

SteveThaiBinh Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I don't know much about US shareholder law, but I guess being a shareholder, even with a handful of shares, gives him certain rights at annual shareholder meetings, enough to attract press attention, disrupt 'business-as-usual', and alarm the major corporate investors. This is supposed to be one of the major trends of our times: growing shareholder power in response to corrupt management at Enron and the like. An important source of revenue for the Yakuza (Japanese Mafia) is, or used to be, buying a small number of shares in a company and then threatening the bosses that they would disrupt shareholders meetings and damage the company's public image. In order to avoid this, the bosses would pay money for the Yakuza to stay away. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."
