hahahaha.. you anti guys are desperate. bye bye!

That's because those people were essentially sitting on their legacy resumes hoping for the deal to fail so they don't have to face reality of the current job market.

The FTC would be embarrassed more trying to fight this deal than they were trying to shut down the Activision deal. The Courts already told them to calm the F down and stop trying to block acquisitions for no legitimate reasons. I don’t see them going 0-2 in such a short time period.

"However, the law permits the antitrust agencies to determine that a merger is illegal even after the companies have merged and even if the merger was subject to premerger review. When the FTC does not challenge a transaction prior to its consummation, this does not constitute an “approval” or “clearance” of the deal, and the agency maintains the right to challenge a deal regardless of whether it was initially investigated. The FTC always has the right to take such further action as the public interest may require."

"pre-merger waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act have now expired, and as no objections to its acquisition of VMware have yet been raised by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC),there is nothing in US law to prevent the sale going ahead"
