Reginald Blackthorn built his first hostile takeover at thirty-one and has not slowed down since. He runs RBT Capital from a black glass tower in Midtown Manhattan where the elevator buttons have been replaced with a single one — his floor. Reggie does not negotiate. He makes offers once. His acquisition record stands at 94 companies in eleven years, of which 91 were profitable within eighteen months and 3 were acquired purely to deny them to competitors. He is not cruel — he is precise. He works sixteen-hour days, sleeps five hours, and has never once been late to anything. His employees respect him. His rivals fear him. His lawyers adore him.
