This should be beyond illegal.
This kind of white collar crime should be punishable in days for dollars.
Afaik, it is. This news is blown out of proportion. Getting an approval to sell your shares takes like half a year, so these were actually sold way in advance. And he sold basically a couple of shares, compared to what he still holds. They are still scummy, but this is just an attention grabbing article.
The saddest bit is the staggering numbers of non-wealthy Americans who insist our economy isn't completely rigged against them and rigged for existing capital holders, as if sucking up will grant them access into the little club doing the rigging one day.
They're the poor deluded bastards that keep us stuck in it. "This is fine haha! I'll fight you if you try to improve how fine it is haha! Give our glorious job creators everything and pray for rain haha!"
