MICHAEL
BACH
The Investor

Of those 17 acquisitions, 11 of which were considered corporate raids whereby each acquisition ultimately resulted in a total liquidation of the company, essentially shutting the company down and putting people out of work.

In addition to purchasing and owning companies for himself, Michael has arranged financing and facilitated transactions for other companies which included debt capital raises totaling $115 million, equity capital assemblages totaling $35 million, as well as executing merger transactions totaling $78 million and corporate divestitures totaling $84 million. During his 30 year tenure acquiring companies, Michael led the charge to execute corporate takeovers in the healthcare, transportation, distribution and manufacturing industries. In more recent times, Michael manages the day to day operations of his High Frequency Trading Office, Bach & Company, as well as has continued to be involved in corporate acquisitions for other companies he does not control, with Michael acting as a Board member to several active companies.
