And people were surprised that the FaceBook Insiders were in a hurry to dump as many shares as they could, as fast as they could.

The average employee was worth $3 Million in shares - what would you do, Cash in your $3 Million or hold on and hope that FaceBook wasn’t another MySpace? I’d take the $3 Million so quickly your head would spin. Would I still work? Yup - and hope more stock options came my way. But, my financial worries would be few, and far between.

I'm sure the employees are required to hold their shares for a certain amount of time.

Employee’s lockup period may be as much as SIX months. Ride ‘em to zero!
