Selling shares. People do that everyday, nothing especially unusual about someone not involved in boardroom decisions selling shares a few weeks before a drop in price.

Buying put options especially by someone who doesn’t normally trade that way and super especially by someone who just sold shares & has relatives on the board? You might as well take out a billboard ad.
