And those stock sales would have been much less profitable.
Not direct cash bribe but definitely far more motivated than just incompetence.
- DangerousPie 6y agoI don't get it. Once he sold the shares he had no further interest in their value. Nothing that happened once he became a minister could have affected his profits from the sale of his stocks. Why are you saying "those stock sales would have been much less profitable"?!
- labawi 6y agoLegally, that's why he had to sell the stocks, which is a reasonable requirement. OTOH, it doesn't preclude a mutually beneficial understanding, which the exchange points to. Maybe he had a deal, or wanted to keep the good stock between friends.
