Cant see whats the fuss about? If there is something we all are missing, let me know.
It's a pretty common name, but a brief scan of Mr Moore's LinkedIn public profile (without joining LinkedIn) looks like he's a fairly standard professional accountant. I didn't see any previous employers that looked shady and certainly the award amount doesn't raise any red flags. If he's a member of any questionable organizations not listed in his online LinkedIn profile - that would be worth digging into.
For someone closely monitoring GME who might not fully understand the SEC/corporate restrictions on "insider trading" perhaps they mistook this filing as something other than standard reporting. Stock awards to company officers require public disclosure.
Unless I'm missing something OP sees with this...
If I had to guess...
This looks like an SEC form accompanying a stock award for an employee. In this case a Mr Moore who happens to be a PAO (project accounting officer?) and interim PFO (project finance officer?). I'm guessing on those acronyms, have no idea what positions they denote. Perhaps Mr Moore negotiated to get 6,641 shares of the company stock (which, at the time of this filing, was worth approximately $100K) to take on the responsibility of the PFO in the interim while the company searched for a permanent PFO?
Under "Explanation of Responses" employees of a firm are generally restricted in their ownership of company stock - in particular when they can sell their shares or purchase new shares - as they might have inside insight/information that would not be available to the general public. Edit: in this case, they're doling out the award over a period of months and requiring Mr Moore to remain in the employ of the firm to collect his full "bonus". By setting predetermined future dates or windows for employees to transact in company shares (in this case acquire/vest in them) it alleviates suspicion of any rigging of the system for both the company and the employee.
Pretty standard stuff, tbh.
.
Edit2: I just looked up the individual and PAO is Principal Accounting Officer, PFO is Principal Financial Officer.

Yep, and the pay out of the stocks is often staggered over some considerable time frame. It is an attempt to retain employees that might otherwise take off.
If I'm reading this right, 6641 shares were bought for $15.06, which equals to about $100,000.
Okay, and?
Wait.. Do I still have some GME? Not so much diamond hand as "i forgot about it" hand!
So the dude was awarded stocks, bfd.
No idea what this means, sorry ignorant maybe however elaborate?
What exactly am I looking at? Is there something to this?
