Former TKO Chairman Vince McMahon was accused of s*xual harassment and trafficking, according to the lawsuit filed by former WWE employee Janel Grant. He recently resigned from the position of TKO Chairman and even sold $411 million worth of shares of his TKO stock. Now, according to a new SEC filing, he has sold roughly another $100 million. 

According to the March 28 filing, Vince McMahon has sold another class A stock of 3.484 million shares worth approximately $100 million. A few weeks ago, he had also sold 5 million shares on March 4, worth approximately $411 million. The transaction was made over 15 business days, spanning from March 5 to March 25.
