If your thought process carries out. that would be a very very cheap price to pay to go private. just remember nobody would go past 5%. they would get various groups to purchase up to but not 5%. they would then pay a premium service fee for their sevices then they announce they own it. hypothetical but a very cheap price to pay. now with all the shennigans would all this be legal lawsuits etc. I think the legal system would not look at this lightly. again question for the legals.
