- jliptzin 9y agoYea but they can cancel those trades at any time. They can set up a weekly sale of a huge chunk of stock, cancel it every week while the company is doing fine, then right before a terrible quarter hits, allow the sale to go through. This does not stop insider trading.
- lovich 9y agoIs it that simple? I thought the SEC didn't fuck around just because people found a loophole, like with them recently classifying ICOs as securities
- xyzzy_plugh 9y agoThe general advice I've heard is not to do this sort of thing. It's a loophole and when the SEC inevitably catches you, you are boned. If it's obviously a loophole to you and me, then what do you imagine the SEC think?
