How's that even legal.
Usually people at a company are not allowed to sell stock except during special windows.

So these sell offs were likely decided far in advance and once locked in cannot be changed.

the sale might not have been shady if scheduled, but the timing of the announcement which they have complete control over IS shady as fuck.
So basically it can be "legit" if they schedule the sale for a year out and the announcement for a year and a day...
