Gotcha on your scenario. Yeah, that would obviously be a huge NSS position.
The reason why I couldn't care less anyone else dumped and profited on insider info, illegally, etc. is for this simple reason. Rufus was and is lying. He lied daily back in the day. He lies constantly today. People bought the stock based on audited financials. Even if someone dumped, that shouldn't matter if Rufus was NOT lying. I'm certain there were others that were part of the lie. But it was Rufus who championed the business. It was Rufus's signatures. It was Rufus's responsibility to represent the company. The list goes on.
Did you know that Boone Pickens bought 10 million shares of YHOO? He did so because he thought there was going to be a MS purchase above what he paid. When he found out it wasn't going to happen, he dumped all 10 million shares. You don't think he knew what was up before hand? But his dumping had NO bearing on the PPS outside of the days he was dumping. Even then, the PPS remained relatively constant.
That's why I don't care about any criminals that dumped illegally. Rufus is the one that sold the lie and continues to do so even today. A vocal scam artist is far more dangerous than a silent criminal in the financial sectors.
