"Did I say anything about insider info? Nope sure didn't, I just said contact the CEO if people have questions."

I don't know how to make this any clearer.

I will try this one more time, and if you all still do not comprehend the message, you are free to do your own research to learn.

Any information discussed with a corporate insider must have been previously publicly released, so that everyone gets the same fair chance to act on the information.

A CEO certainly qualifies as a corporate insider.

Any attempt to provide one individual with information about a company which was not previously publicly revealed qualifies as insider trading.

Insider trading is a felony.

Any attempt to request that a corporate insider provide information to an individual, when that information has not previously been publicly released, is requesting that the corporate insider engage in insider trading.

Requesting that a corporate insider engage in insider trading is a felony.

If the information cannot already be found in a public communication from the company, asking for that information from a corporate insider is a criminal offense.

If the corporate insider provides that information to an individual, they are committing a criminal offense.

The only communications an outsider can really legally have with a corporate insider are to ask for information which is already publicly available, or to inform the corporate insider of information for which they may find of interest.

Anything else involves insider trading, and can result in the SEC halting the ticker, and fines and imprisonment of the insider trading participants.
