I wonder how much of that selling from insiders is related to options exercising. Between taxes and the cost to exercise, an awful lot of insiders had next to no alternative but some selling. This is exacerbated when the price of the shares is dropping thus creating margin calls for those who didn't sell enough to cover the total exercise cost.
