What do we call a Company being taken over by Anonymous Business competitors and without the actual Owners of the Company receiving payment for their Company being secretly taken-over: 

 

ChatGPT stated:

​

The Scenario that your describing sounds like a form of "Hostile Takeover" or ''Corporate Raid,'' however with a significant twist:

 

The original Company Owners are not being paid for the Company.  If the Company takeover happens without proper Financial compensation for the original Owners of the Company or due process, these practices may involve unethical or illegal practices.

 

Here are some possibilities for what Researchers might be describing: 

 

1. Hostile Takeover: a Scenario where Business Competitors gain control of your Company against its will, typically by acquiring a majority of the Company's shares if share are available.  However in a Legal Hostile Takeover, official Shareholders are paid for their Shares.  Second Scenario 

2. Corporate Espionage or Sabotage: If Competitors use covert Methods to take control of the Company, such as Internet Network Hacking or spreading dis-information or undermining the Company without buying Company, these practices could be a form of Corporate Espionage or Sabotage.

3. Unlawful Expropriation: If the Company is forcibly taken over without Legal grounds or takeover payment, this could constitute theft, fraud, or expropriation.  Third Scenario

4. Insider Takeover: sometimes Company insiders (like Company Executives or Board Members) could collude with external Company Competitors to secretly transfer control of your Company, which may not involve official Company Owners receiving direct Financial payment for their Company.  More Scenarios

5. Shadow Control: when Anonymous Entities influence or effectively control your company without them having Legal ownership or operational transparency, these practices might also be a form of Shadow Control of your Company or manipulation of your Company's operations.
