M&A rumors should start heating up for small cap semiconductor stocks once again. Entropic is one of the most mentioned acquisition targets. Some short-sellers do not play by the rules. A small group of powerful hedge fund managers stop at nothing to annihilate the companies they sell short. Their tactics include: blackmail, smear campaigns, espionage, fraud, harassment, rumor-mongering, sabotage, off-shore bribery, libelous blogs, bad science, forgery, wiretapping, counterfeiting, collusion, lying, cheating, threats and theft.
