The story

Atticus helped to stop the Deutsche Börse from taking over the London Stock Exchange.
Atticus was instrumental in the merger of Arcelor with Mittal Steel Company.
Atticus, from a minority shareholder position, prevented Phelps Dodge from merging with INCO Ltd in 2006 because it insisted on a share buy-back scheme rather than the merger investment.
In 2006, Atticus was rumoured to have $10 billion under administration.
Before it was wound down in 2010, Atticus was rumoured to have $20 billion under administration.
