    yeah but even in that case, the CEO of the first company has a fiduciary duty to make that company make as much money as possible. intentionally crashing one company sothat other companies’ stock goes up is a gross violation of duty and can and will be punished as such assuming there’s any shareholders who only own shares of the first company.

      Has anyone ever been prosecuted or punished for beach of fiduciary duty? My understanding is that it’s a noble concept, but absolutely toothless.
