Yea it did but editing the original comment makes it boring.

I looked up the percentage swings caused by CEO deaths and it's actually not that big and not always a definite drop. So it wasn't as surely profitable as I thought. A murderous whitecollar sociopath probably has tons of other lower risk crimes he can commit instead. A typical insider trade would probably make him more.

Also I am not really sure hitmen exist outside of movies... I can't verify this without putting myself on some list though.

(Hello FBI! This is just morbid hypotheticals. I am not advocating serially murdering CEOs for profit)
