MSN Money – Wanted: private eye with licence to spy on US corporate leaders on behalf of activist hedge fund.
The unusual job advert, which appeared on a popular New York website, is set to spoil the Christmas celebrations of many chief executives of underperforming companies.

The ad seeks an investigator to “conduct both clandestine and covert intelligence operations to track movements of public company executives . . . to gain deep intel of how their behaviour and actions may be affecting the company’s Wall Street performance”.
