    ploy

    noun
    a cunning plan or action designed to turn a situation to one’s own advantage.

    Except for the cunning part it seems to be a pretty good description.

      There’s no way the board members tarnished their reputations and lost their jobs so they could get attention for a company they no longer work for and don’t have a stake in. That’s just silly.
