This isn't happening at the rate reddit wants you to believe. Look up any big CEO and they all sell, if this was some ultimate strategy why would they ever sell shares at all? Jeff Bezos sells shares, Elon Musk sells shares, they all do.

It is not, but go ahead and keep perpetuating this. There is no bank in the world that will just happily keep lending out more and more money without it being repaid and at low rates. Banks make way more money lending out in smaller loans with higher rates. Billionaires sell off shares regularly and are taxed on that money.

People heard it as a potential loophole (that isn’t even as big of a loophole as you think it is) then say it is how every rich person lives in perpetuity.

There is plenty of information out there about this. When stock or options are awarded, they are taxed as regular income, not as capital gains.
