Steven Neil Posner (pronounced POZ-ner; January 11, 1943 – November 29, 2010) was an American corporate raider who worked together on a number of major hostile takeovers with his father, Victor Posner, though the two would later have a falling out that resulted in a series of acrimonious lawsuits. A 1989 corporate takeover staged by the Posners led to fraud convictions for Ivan Boesky and Michael Milken levied by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for their role in improperly assisting the Posners in the attempted deal.[citation needed]
