Should have sold on the first day. Got greedy and it bit them.

Company employees who received stock are prohibited from selling until the IPO Lock Up expires. For Facebook, this was just a couple of days ago.

They should have sold, quit and then shorted. They’d be rich by now.

They cannot sell until the employee window opens. This prevents a complete collapse of the public shares at the IPO. This is true for all companies going public.
