I don't get it. Once he sold the shares he had no further interest in their value. Nothing that happened once he became a minister could have affected his profits from the sale of his stocks. Why are you saying "those stock sales would have been much less profitable"?!

Legally, that's why he had to sell the stocks, which is a reasonable requirement.

OTOH, it doesn't preclude a mutually beneficial understanding, which the exchange points to. Maybe he had a deal, or wanted to keep the good stock between friends.
