Between Nov. 16, 2021, and June 21, 2023, Burns liquidated all 46,351,745 shares that at one point comprised more than 26% of the company. 
The stock value of the company plunged in the months following the management shake-up at Lordstown. 
Burns’ first sell-off on Nov. 12, 2021, constituted jettisoning 3,204,000 shares worth $18.8 million at $5.88 per share. 
On June 16, approximately 10 days before the company he founded filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the former CEO sold off his remaining 591,752 shares for a total of $3.9 million. 
A complete analysis of Lordstown Motors’ insider stock sales show that Burns’ total sell-off amounted to $66.8 million. 
In all, Lordstown Motors insiders cashed in for a sum of $95,078,089 between October 2020 and June of 2023, records show.
