Ocwen CEO Bill Erby and general counsel Paul Koches of late have been busy amassing stock options and in some cases selling, according to recent documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Erby filed an SEC Form 4 on Nov. 27, Koches on the last day of the month. In one transaction Erby took control of 50,813 options at a price of $1.69.
