I'm not an expert on this issue but the CFO surely new before the general public that there would be great news to report on H2 production. So he bought a boat load of shares BEFORE this was announced. Now I think it would have been fine if he would have purchased them AFTER the press release. I don't know if this is illegal but it just seems a bit sleazy to me. I wonder how many shares he still has.
I don't think this issue will affect PLUG much. But this purchase may be investigated by the SEC (if they still have staff after DOGE). Watch out Paul.
BTW I am pro PLUG. I hope it can survive to help cure the planet!
