Palantir Founders Karp and Thiel Have Sold $4+ Billion in Stock During 2024-2026 Government-Contract Boom; Concentrated Voting Power Locks Out Institutional Oversight

The Bresnahan case illustrates the gap that disclosure-only regulation leaves: a member can sell Medicaid-provider stock seven days before voting to cut Medicaid funding by $1 trillion, comply fully with disclosure requirements, and the conflict is established only after the trades and…
