Netflix has pulled an episode of Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj from its Saudi Arabian service after a complaint from the Saudi government as the show covers the Saudi Crown Prince's alleged involvement in the brutal murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and the kingdom's war with Yemen. The Saudi Government cited its anti-cyber law in its removal request, specifically Article 6, which appears to have nothing to do with the content of the show other than that the Saudis are embarrassed. Given the Streisand effect, it is likely that more people will now see the show than otherwise would have.

If you are not selling the company, why would you give a shit about its 'valuation'. You care about the dividends.
Anyway, driving down the share price would even allow you to buy more shares with the extra profits you get by driving up oil prices.
If you do need to sell, you announce the 'corrected' reserves first. Share price takes a major jump, you sell, and its not even insider trading because you sold after the info was public.
