Oracle buying Sun? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acquisition_of_Sun_Microsystems_by_Oracle_Corporation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acquisition_of_Sun_Microsystem... Has more real value ever been destroyed in the service of paper value? Arguably yes, though I am including DEC in this equation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compaq#Acquisition_by_Hewlett-Packard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compaq#Acquisition_by_Hewlett-...

That was a hit and they basically obliterated Sun. But if you’re looking at lost value, AOL buying TimeWarner (and the Sun parts of Netscape).
