Nothing out of the ordinary. Guy sold 4m shares over a few months (all of which have to be pre-announced 90 days in advance). Still has over 25m shares.

They can influence timing of information release; Whether delaying or expediting.

Just pointing out that even with the notice there is still room for shenanigans.

We can throw down "could" all over the place, anywhere, on any topic. Doesn't help the convo, I feel. Can people with leverage use it for ill gains? Definitely. But we can get religious about that so easily and should be careful. I think our discussion here is best served by going on what we know. But I very much agree Nvidia isn't some stalwart defender of clean practices.

I know you might respond "we know they have done iffy shit before, therefore worst interpretation is warranted here."

But, well, as I said - we can do that line of reasoning about anything, but our discussions kind of break down at that point - we're just throwing down impressions and "could be's".

		I feel like the easiest and most likely explanation is that he's just aware how massively overvalued it currently is. Frankly I'm surprised he still has as much given it's valuation

The article says there were no trading plans used, so it's not clear to me whether selling was announced 90 days in advance. Where would I find the announcement?

It's generally considered unwise for executives to sell any shares at all except according to a preannounced 10b5-1 plan, but it's not required and he doesn't seem to have done so here. (You're right, of course, that there a lot of legitimate reasons he might have wanted to diversify 20% of his shares without waiting 90 days.)
