Seems inappropriate to me that a "list" can have such an outcome... seems like blackrock or KKR can manipulate those lists for some dramatic leverage.
Just as rating services are manipulated to encorage Sub Prime mortgages or stock picks the day before enron collapsed...
If only one company was added to the list that was undeserving(bribery or otherwise) at the time, yet because of the addition made a great acquisition, Russell list would still look unblemished.
