He has been selling blocks of shares since 2018 [1] like any other executive aware that you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket.

According to the most recent SEC insider sale filing, he still owns about 100,000 shares in the bank. If he was that cunny...why won't he have sold them? Doesn't absorb him of carelessness in running the bank, but this is clickbait for the ignorant and perpetually angry.

> why won't he have sold them?

To make the case for "hey it’s not that" if needed, for example?

No need to attribute to malice when sheer incompetence can explain it.

Dunno about that, I feel like this dichotomy is too often repeated to cover the original malice in the first place. I strongly doubt that those people got to where they were by being that incompetent.

You used a word I've never seen, in the phrase "If he was that [...]"

I looked it up, and I really doubt you meant that word. Curious what you did mean. Was it "canny"?

(As an ardent Wordle player, I'm always on the lookout for new five-letter words.)

I think they meant cunning.

Oh yes. Just searched the meaning of “cunny” and went oops, no no, not that word.

I made the mistake of searching that word, I don't recommend it.
