well, probably not because they are succeeding in crashing the company as it is.

Also, if you look at the "deal" those "activist investors" are pushing to get that money, it will pay only to shares acquired before date X. So even if i knew their scheme was going to pay off, they already made sure to rig the game.

Umm, that would be illegal. If you own shares before a deal is announced you are definitely part of the deal. No exceptions.
