“It has to do with information that directly impacts a specific company IMO. A briefing about COVID-19 doesn’t fit that”
It sure as hell does. They dumped airline stocks, they dump stocks in dozens of companies from China. They buy stocks in coronavirus medical companies. It’s classic insider trading.
I said that law is about receiving information where a specific company is named. Are you saying they were briefed on specific companies? In other words they were told "American Airlines will take a huge drop" or even "Airline stocks are going down"? If not, then it is not what that law is about, nor is it insider trading. Period. I assume they were NOT briefed on specific companies. The idea is ridiculous.
If they drew their own conclusions on what to sell based on the coronavirus then they were no different than anyone else drawing the same conclusions.
Also, where are you getting information about what stocks they sold? I don't think that's publicly known. Are you lying?
