They aren’t going to let someone else start a run on their bank before they get a chance to save some wealth...

They're not "selling short," they're just selling. It is common for IPO's to drift downward in price for the few weeks following. Also, we don't know how much of each person's stake is being sold here. These may be minor sales, percentage-wise.

I thought that company insiders had to hold for a certain number of months before selling after an IPO? I am confused
