    We all knew this was a pump and dump scheme. Spez got his, fuck everyone else.

      did he really though? because I’d read a big chunk of that massive 100+ million dollar compensation was shares vested after IPO based on performance.

      hopefully it ruins them all.

        He sold 500 000 shares for a big fat paycheck. It’s not 100 millions of fictional dollars, but he still made out like a bandit.

          I’m not so sure. That is only $25 million or so. Who can live on that?

            Yeah, this guy isn’t even going to be able to afford caviar for dinner every night. That’s not living.

              $25 million will allow you to, at best, snort cocaine off a hooker’s forearm. Not doing it off her ass is like seeing a partial eclipse.

            Me. I can live on that. I would have to change my habits like eating more but that’s something I am willing to change.

              Lobster and sushi only on days that end with a Y. It’ll be tough cutting back but he’ll manage.

            I could live comfortably for the rest of my life on 1/25th of that.

                The statement you made should be in response to someone who says they need more money rather than less.

                  Sure. I’m just pointing out that a million bucks isn’t that much in the grand scheme. A life-changing amount to just get one day, sure. But it’s still basically “own a house” rich. Woopty-do. Every boomer within 10 miles of a major metro with a paid of mortgage is nearly a millionaire just in their primary residence.
