PETER THIEL SELLS MOST OF REMAINING FACEBOOK STAKE

May 22, 2012

Facebook insiders cashed out $13.26 billion of their stock on Day 3 of the initial public offering. This level of insider stock sale so early in an initial public offering is unprecedented.

breyer-james-wThe insiders included James W. Breyer (Facebook chairman), Ping Li and James Swartz (Accel Partners LLP), Yuri Milner (DST, Mail.ru, Digital Sky Technologies, and third largest shareholder), Mark Zuckerberg, Goldman Sachs, Peter A. Thiel , Meritech Management and Microsoft.

Yuri MilnerRussian Yuri Milner was a $3.79 billion winner. Milner has been a disciple of Larry Summers since his college days at the World Bank. Milner authored an essay proposing a voucher system favored by Summers to privatize the Russian economy. This reckless proposal was forced upon Russia and gave rise to the mob rule today known as Russian oligarchs. Larry Summers very evidently took advantage of an “insane and unnecessary haste” to destabilize the Russian economy, line his pockets, and pump the pre-IPO Facebook valuation to $100 billion..[128] [267]

Ann H. Lamont, Meritech Management, who netted a paltry $263 million, is married to failed Senate candidate, Edward M. Lamont, grandson of J.P. Morgan. The Lamont financial portfolio reads like a Who’s Who of the Facebook IPO. Fidelity, JP Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, T. Rowe Price, Microsoft, IBM, even Boston Scientific). They had up to $71 million invested in 81 Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan mutual funds alone.[315]

Most of these shareholders were also clients of Facebook securities law firm, Fenwick & West LLP. [136] This insider trading ignored the normal “lock-up” period that restricts such insider trading. This egregious conduct sparked an epic rant by CNBC’s Jim Cramer about Peter A. Thiel netting $633 million, who said on air: “There isn’t anything about Facebook is done in the right fashion . . . where are the brokers coming out and saying this isn’t right?” Cramer was later muzzled by the network.[314] See this Cramer YouTube rant below.
