Media mogul (显要人物) Ted Turner yesterday sold more than half of hisAOL Time Warner InC、holdings for about $780 million, a move that reflects his efforts to slash his financial stake in the media giant.

After the close of regular trading yesterday, Turner sold a block of 60 million shares to Goldman Sachs &Co. for $13.07 per share, or 31 cents below the stock’s closing price yesterday. Goldman was said by Wall Street sources to be offering the stock to major investors for $13.15.
An outspoken critic of the corporation, Turner remainsAOL Time Warner’s largest individual shareholder, with 45 million shares, and a member of its board of directors.
A、spokeswoman for Turner referred questions toAOL Time Warner.
At his peak Turner owned about 130 million shares, but he lost billions of dollars in wealth and grew bitter after the stock plunged following the merger ofAmerica Online and Time Warner in January 2001.
Turner, who initially supported the merger, later expressed outrage over revelations thatAmerica Online had manipulated its financial results. The Securities andExchangeCommission is investigatingAOL, and the corporation has acknowledged discovering tens of millions of dollars of overstated revenue.
