I think "pull a Kodak" is an awesome term. I checked if it was already published on Urban Dictionary. It wasn't, so I submitted it and it was published: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pull+a+Kodak

I hope that's ok :-) If not, please let me know.

It should really be "pull a RIOT" because RIOT Blockchain was 1 of the 1st companies to pull this off.

Struggling medical equipment company. Acquires a "blockchain mining" company for a few mil, stock shoots up overnight like 500% or something, then their CEO dumps all his stocks.

Pulling a Kodak for me would be something else. It would be when a company that boomers love can no longer innovate and just starts licensing it’s image to the highest bidder. We’ve seen this many times with action cams and so on.

Well, that's not what Urban Dictionary says.
