Reported is every lot on the person's own Forms 3, 4 and 5 — direct and through trusts. Beneficial is the figure stated on the latest Schedule 13D/G cover page, which can exclude shares the person disclaims and include options exercisable within 60 days, so the two are never added together.
Nothing flagged: every Form 4 inside the two-day window, no pledge footnotes, no SEC correspondence.
