    Good luck. If the SEC hasn’t already started building a case against him for insider trading, then nothing is going to happen to him. He’ll get a golden parachute and scurry off to ruin some other company.

      “Selling shares before the announcement” was a pretty egregious misrepresentation. He has scheduled pre-registered sales on a regular basis because he gets paid partly in stock.

      It was always going to be relatively soon after a sale of stock.

        As if you can’t schedule your announcements to fall just after the scheduled stock sales… Or just before them, if you want.

        You know, that might just make it worse. As in, this wasn’t some 5d plot, he genuinely thought this would work.

      I think he might autosell his stock so that wouldn’t be insider trading, but since of the board members might.
