Terry Green, CEO of The Trade Desk, recently purchased around $140M worth of TTD shares just days before news dropped that OpenAI wanted to purchase ads using TTD’s platform. When the news became public, the stock surged.

    Why is this considered OK while people like Martha Stewart are punished for much smaller trades?

    1. Because it’s a big circle and yo ass ain’t even allowed near it let alone in it

    2. Its allowed for very rich people. Its a crime for peasants. Been that way since the first day stock market opened.

    3. because we have an entire new regime run by incompetent greedy monsters. i doubt martha stewart would get in trouble in todays deregulated world.

      It’s implied that if you’re in good graces with this admin you won’t get prosecuted.

      Hmm, Today I sold half the shares I foolishly bought after the big dip a couple of months ago. Confidence in TTD seems to be gone, and I don’t trust that Open AI circle jerk of funding promises. It’ll probably go to $150 now since I sold, but I’m not feeling the stoke.

    6. Checks popular files…yea it’s almost like having an insane amount of money lets you get away with things.

    7. Trade was likely scheduled six or more months in advance and he wasn’t aware of timing

      It’s not insider trading, it’s hard-work and merit, if you work hard then you can also insider trade with the big boys, so get gud, skill issue.

    9. Same way that the person who ran the largest Medicare fraud in history, costing billions…is now a US Senator from Florida.

      It’s allowed if you follow all the rules. Executives always have insider info. They do need to file their trading plan in advance and can only execute in a trading window 

      Also his name is not terry
