Isn’t this insider trading? If I owned a company and sold all my stock and then tanked my company with stupid news, that’d be illegal.
Though I’m surprised they sold it before the news. This kind of fund-raising tactics piss off customers but investors usually love it, the short-sighted creatures they are.
No it’s not. If he unloaded a huge bunch out of nowhere just before the announcement then sure, it probably is, but that’s not what happened - he has been consistently selling stock the whole year, buying none.
What likely happens is he is paid partly, or was at some stage, in stock. To convert it to cash you need to sell it.

It’s obviously insider trader but laws are for the poors.
“Illegal” doesn’t mean much anymore if you’re rich. No one seems to be enforcing anything cuz we can’t get in the way of that trickle-down.
