A Series of Unfortunate Events?

A Series of Unfortunate Events is a series of children's novels by Lemony Snicket. The thriteen books follow the turbulent lives of Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire. After their parents' death in a fire, the children are placed in the custody of Count Olaf, who attempts to steal their inheritance and, later, orchestrates numerous disasters with the help of his accomplices as the children attempt to flee. As the plot progresses, the Baudelaires gradually confront further mysteries surrounding their family and deep conspiracies.
Characterized by Victorian Gothic tones and absurdist textuality, the books are noted for their dark humor, sarcastic storytelling, and anachronistic elements, as well as frequent cultural and literary allusions. They have been classified as postmodern and metafictional writing, with the plot evolution throughout the later novels being cited as an exploration of the psychological process of transition from the idyllic innocence of childhood to the moral complexity of maturity.
Likewise, the final installments of the series are also acknowledged for their escalatingly intricate ethical ambiguity toward philosophical ambivalence, as the nature of some of the Baudelaires' actions becomes increasingly harder to discern from those of their antagonist counterparts and more characters are revealed to be responsible for permanent wrongdoing, despite their identification with the self-proclaimed good side of the tale. - Wikipedia

At the end of the day, in the case of Citron, they make it in the shorts, at the expense of those taking it in the shorts. Do the ends justify the means? or the means justify the ends? and at what cost? Are these "activists" exposing fraud and abuse for the benefit of potentially victimized shareholders? Or in effect are these wolves in sheep's clothing, who under the guise of performing a public service "cry wolf" to manipulate the market, and profiteer at the expense of others to the tune of billions? - Left And Citron: The Boy Who Cried Wolf?In our last examination, many questions were posed and comments made, sparking interest in further investigation. One wonders what underlying circumstances might have caused the UBNT, Citron situation to manifest itself? Why Ubiquiti, and why now? and how could investors get caught up in such a series of unfortunate events?
In an effort to answer those questions we examine the Ubiquiti buyback, Citron of past, collateral damage from the Citron Report, the Ubiquiti CEO's NBA connection, his buyout clause, and how all of this may have claimed victims of circumstance.
