This is a very tenuous connection, especially considering the relatively small amount of money involved.

It's far more likely the judge just doesn't consider the two companies to be closely linked enough to be an issue.

Also, it says the judge bought in 2022, and the price today is pretty much equivalent to the LOWEST point of 2022. So it’s not like it has performed well for him. But I don’t know shit about stocks. Just wanted to point that out.

And while $35,000 is a pretty big investment, at least to an average person, would that amount of money be persuasive enough to convince a judge to do what this one is doing? The perceived corruption, I mean.
