Would there ever be a time where a hedge fund would enter into a traditional merger arbitrage position (long on target / short on acquirer) even if they thought the deal would NOT close? On the flip side, would there ever be a time when a hedge fund would bet against a deal closing even if thought in reality that it would actually close? Any examples or insight would be appreciated!
