This shit can’t be legal. Do we have any lawyers on here?
In the USA that would most likely fit the textbook definition of Insider Trading, which is bigly illegal
It only looks like insider trading if you forget the definition of insider trading and only read a headline curated to ignore the important details that show small, consistent sales across time regardless of company activities.
Well yeah of course I didn’t read the article. I don’t give much of a fuck about it. I took the headline at face value (“sold stock days before announcement”) and fired off my Lemmy content into the ass crack of this butt land. You’re welcome.
I don’t think it’s that black and white, since he apparently has sold stock steadily through out the year (and hasn’t bought any at all).
I think that makes it worse. It’s obvious that he was doing that with this change in mind. Especially if he didn’t buy any over that period.
Slap on the wrist fine at most. The rich don’t have laws.
He sold over $2mil, so maybe about $20k is fair.
