The rats are leaving the ship. SEC Reports: CEO of Viacom (CBS) Dumps nearly $12 million in Stock By Steven W. - Precise truth blog At the height of Rathergate, it appears Sumner Redstone, Chairman and CEO of Viacom Corporation, has issued his first verdict on the collapse of credibility for its CBS News operation and 60 Minutes programming. In disclosure mandated by the SEC, "STATEMENT OF CHANGES OF BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES", Redstone reveals his transaction promptly followed the disasterous & defiant appearance by Dan Rather on last Monday evening's edition of the CBS Evening News. In official filing, and with Viacom currently selling near 5 year lows, records reveal Redstone sold 341,500 shares of Viacom stock options for an otherwise undisclosed 401K account on Tuesday of last week. Overall, with shares still selling for $11,952,500 at only $35 a share, his gross profit from the transaction appears to have yielded around $6,744,625 in cash.
