I vaguely recall something about unique assets and written sales, but I don't think that's what this question is asking.

I'm confused about the options. I feel like "unauthorized sale" could fit, but it doesn't sound quite right for this scenario.

I remember practicing a question about employees buying assets before the employer, and I think it was called a turnaround sale or something like that.

I think this might be related to conflict of interest, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right term for it.

I think the best approach here is to focus on the core issue - employees using non-public information for personal gain. That seems to fit the description of a conflict of interest, so I'll go with option A.

Wait, I'm confused. Is this about the employees buying the asset themselves or the employer selling it? I want to make sure I'm not missing some nuance here. Maybe I should review my notes on these types of corporate ethics cases.

Okay, I've got this. The key is that the employees are taking advantage of inside information about their employer's plans to purchase an asset. That sounds like a classic conflict of interest situation to me. I'll select option A.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I think the answer is A - a request for normal operation to be restored.

Written sale of unique assets? That's a good one, but I doubt that's the right answer here. These employees are just trying to line their own pockets.

That makes sense, employees using their position for personal gain could definitely be considered a conflict of interest.

I disagree, I believe it's B) Turnaround sale or flip because employees are taking advantage of inside information.

Hmm, I don't think this is an 'unauthorized sale' since the employer is aware of it. More like a shady backroom deal if you ask me.
