      it's all jargon for investors. No company will say they fired their own CEO, even though everyone knows that's how it went. My father didn't die, he passed away, that sort of thing.

      of course. the CEO is a stooge who's selected by, and answers to, the board, in return for a huge salary and many millions' worth of insider trading

      the board sucks money out of the company, sending new CEOs through the revolving door as necessary, until it's bled dry of all its customers, at which point they move on to the next company

    And just like that, people forgive everything they did once again and continue to give Unity their money. See you next time they do something similar (in 6 months or so).

      insider trading does not apply to the rich honey

        Partially true. It doesn't apply to supreme court members. It still applies to the rich but financial crimes get let off easy because the courts profit over these types of crimes and they know the offenders are good to pay their fines.

      He sold 2000 stock out of 3 million he owned. Meanwhile a man literally named Shlomo spent the last 3 months cashing out every single stock he had and sold 400k during August.

      That's not how that works lmao. C suite sell on a schedule approved by the board far in advance. Unless someone can prove that he either told others the plan would not be received well, that he sold without giving prior notice, or that he knowingly took action that would harm the company's performance, he can't be tried. He likely had the sell schedule approved 2-3 years ago, before the fee plan was being seriously discussed.

    Guessing some of the larger companies that have used Unity to make games had their lawyers contact them about why this was a bad move. Guessing despite everyone thinking it was the whole board it was Ricitiello's stupidity at it again. Doubt the rest of the board is less culpable but he is the one that would've had to sign off on it.
