Assume Marcus is a director at Porno-Graphics, Inc., a validly formed corporation.  At a regularly scheduled director’s meeting another director presents a proposal suggesting that Porno purchase the Sunshine Press Company.  

Unbeknownst to the other directors, Marcus owns 80% of Sunshine Press under the alias of Mannie Fat.  

Marcus would make big bucks if Porno acquired Sunshine.  

The proposal was distributed to the directors to review before taking a vote at the next meeting.
