His sale didn't change the price. What it changed was how much the company could raise. Which is why it is civil not criminal. By selling he limited how much of the company was available to the public, and sold to all those who would want to buy before the company had a chance.

Limited market with a time constraint. The analogy was meant to show that the price, was the same, but with a limited number of buyers and those buyers only having limited need/desire for the offering that you could make it so their was no one to sell to in a week.

I didn't know of another way to constrain market and time on something that people would only need so much of. A hotdog they would buy next week. And it had to be a market you could saturate.
