From the "Lumb" discussion on FFGO...

"Not any more. FFGO is no longer an "Insider" nor an "Affiliate". Besides, Fortress will not take over Hunt. Alan is focussed on Financial Services, he knows nothing about Mining. He is simply greenmailing Hunt to get the best deal for Fortress's stock."

For newbs and undecided:

Greenmail
A situation in which a large block of stock is held by an unfriendly company. This forces the target company to repurchase the stock at a substantial premium to prevent a takeover. It is also known as a "Bon Voyage Bonus" or a "Goodbye Kiss".

Notes:
Not unlike blackmail, this is a dirty tactic, but it's very effective.
