GameStop boss unloads $60m in shares

GameStop director Leonard Riggio has sold 2.3 million of his GameStop shares, bringing him in over $60 million. As a result, his ownership of the retail giant decreased from 6.9 to 5.5 percent. Reggio is also a board member and the founder of the Barnes & Noble bookstore chain. The large sale isn’t worrying analysts, apparently, but last time Reggio sold shares, as Gamasutra points out, he did just before the stock went on a slump and decreased 60 percent in value. Makes one wonder.

I’m not surprised that people are beginning to wonder. Even if he hadn’t done this before, it’s suspicious even to warrant attention.
