It's not actual, realized wealth until you sell especially with this overvalued trend stock - good for them.

You realize Sandberg sold less than 2% of her shares right? No, not good for them....she should have sold more.

$7.4 million is a nice cash out. Enough where she can diversify a bit, get a few nice things, and keep a good sized chunk in the company. Selling more would have been stupid. High profile executives selling big portions of their shares are exactly what would cause a huge hit in the stock price she doesn't want to see. She cashed enough out for her needs and can easily hedge the rest of her investment without causing the public scrutiny a bigger sale would draw.

This is a nice transfer from investors (sorry I mean punters) to insiders. This will continue.

The initial scam... now that was pretty horrible for outsiders. This? This is nothing. About 95% of public companies on record have employees cashing out a bit after the IPO.

the jump before lockup expiration is highly suspect imo.

The COO's sale for example would have been roughly 6.9mil before the gap.


Just saying

This is a nasty time to have the lockout expire. Hanging onto shares knowing that your tax rate is likely going up 33% in a month and a half.
