I am not sure they can do that legally. It would be a conflict of interest since they are the one putting the offer in for GLD. If they buy up shares say at .35-.45 to get the vote and come with a second offer say at .50, then they stand to make money from what they did. I do believe that is called insider trading.

Thanks for the insight beachbum1. When I said insider trading, I was refering to the fact the general public does not know what the second offer was or might be, yet TRR would. So buying shares on the open market knowing that you are going to make an offer much higher, to me is insider trading. Same would go now with their large shareholders. They would know what that next offer would be. JMHO.
