As much as these guys can afford to sell and buy, mind u this is just September 2018 to present day - I can see where the pressure is on JZ to make them super wealthy. JZ get his pay and stock options regardless, but the boards paychecks depend on how "mean and lean" Molina is. This way what is happening takes focus on them and enter stage right Mr. Z.
I may be wrong but just a thought..at the end of the day the board says do it and JZ carries it out.
