    After selling off their stocks at a high on the day of the coronavirus briefing, Loeffler and his husband, who happens to be the owner of the NYSE, agreed to liquidate their portfolio to avoid any fines or prison time. This would include the stocks they bought in teleworking software and virus equipment that have shot up. It also gives them million to spend as soon as the market hits a bottom in the coming months and ETF's are seen as the wisest choice for volatile markets.

    This could be the stupidest reward ever for cheating the system.

    Seriously this is pretty sleazy. She and the other Senators who dumped stocks after getting Congressional briefings before the public should be investigated for insider trader. At the minimum the Senate should look into ethics hearings.

    The question is was there any information in that briefing relevant to selling stocks that was not public information?
