Do you really not see the problem with this scenario? Apple &quot;goes private&quot; and somehow ends up in the hands of &quot;a small pool of insiders&quot;? How do those insiders end up holding 100% of the stock?<p>Right now insiders hold maybe 1% of Apple stock. So there&#x27;s a 99% transfer of ownership happening when the company &quot;buys itself&quot;. Does the company lose 99% of its value in this or is there somehow a transfer of about 500 billion dollars into the hands of these insiders? How are either of these situations not entirely terrible?
