In June of 2003, PeopleSoft management announced a merger with J.D. Edwards. Within hours of the announcement, Oracle had launched a hostile takeover attempt of PeopleSoft. Oracle's bid raised enormously difficult questions for the PeopleSoft board, questions about whether PeopleSoft products would continue to be supported and customers became reluctant to buy PeopleSoft software. Managers were therefore faced with a decision about how to respond to the bid and the uncertainty it created. To regain customer and analyst confidence, PeopleSoft's board considered adopting a Customer Assurance Program in which customers would receive a cash payment in the event of a takeover. This promise of a cash payment would not only encourage customers to invest in PeopleSoft products, but also created a liability that might be large enough to derail Oracle's takeover attempt altogether. The board therefore had to consider the implications of a Customer Assurance Program for the welfare of the firm, its customers, and its duties to shareholders faced with a tender offer.

COMPANY: Connecting PeopleSoft to Pete Bennett

PeopleSoft and Pete Bennett

Pete was hired to work with Vector Capital defending the hostile takeover of PeopleSoft during Oct/Nov 2004

Pete's decades long forgery and fraud encompass Richard Blum, TPG, TPG Growth, William McGlashan, CBRE, Regency Centers, Trammel Crow, Lennar, Catellus and Discovery Homes
My story is about witness murders, private equity, mergers, and acquisitions linked back to the Matter of Bennett v. Southern Pacific lost in 1989.  
The above was lost in connection to Southern Pacific Chairman Philip Anschutz, his general counsel Ric Kopf, Judge Peter Spinetta, and defense counsel Bennett & Johnson who sold out Bennett in the courtroom may have withheld a large part of a potential settlement in the millions.  
Bennett's relatives were murdered in 2014, his friend and daughter murdered in 2005 and at least seven police officers.  

DEBATE: Is this transaction along with others connected a blatant case of insider trading and fraud.
