You should give good employees a bonus. But you can't give away hundreds of millions just to be good to your employees because it's not your money

Nobody is talking about giving him all proceeds. Maybe 1%, and not trying to sue the shit out of him, would've left everyone happy. In the end they undoubtedly wasted more money on lawyers acting like pricks. That's investor money too. And they almost lost hundreds of millions in a countersuit due to their egregious behavior. Poorly handled, even from an investor perspective.

In another reply I said they should have given him like 8 million to start and avoided the whole issue.
