Icahn Lurking Around Take Two

Carl Icahn (who according to the book is actually a pretty interesting guy) has raised his stake in Take Two Entertainment (makers of the once-controversial Grand Theft Auto series and the freshly-controversial Bully).

This should be interesting. Icahn is proud to admit that he's "no Robin Hood," and Take Two is so desperate for negative attention that they hid porn in a game about shooting police and selling drugs. So the usual dirt-digging and dirt-dishing phase of the proxy fight (if any) will be great fun to watch. Icahn's stake is just 4%, but growing fast. Keep watching.
