Yes they realized, but I feel it was a knowingly short term blip in the growth story. The sale of these insider shares gave the sellers life changing money. Till sold, the stock that they had wasn't liquid and couldn't afford them a lifestyle accustom to the value of the company they built.
I hold no grudges for these sales. They deserved to be rewarded for their efforts. And the way they timed it to close on the date the new CEO took over, leaves the new CEO untarnished in the episode.
From here on out it's the CEOs bus to drive. Those that wanted the payoff got it. Those that want to build both the company and personal wealth held their shares.
New CEO in...IPO wealth realized... Pure growth from here.
