> The complaint alleges that Bechtolsheim "knew or was reckless in not knowing" that the information he was given was non-public There is a (small) possibility that he really didn't know (the second part of the complaint), but decided it's not worth a fight with the SEC cause it's such a small amount to him (and he has no interest in serving as an officer of a public company in the next few years anyway). Though, the version others have said is still more probable: Reach people wanna get more rich, no matter the method.
