Way to assume the worst of someone without knowing anything about him, or any details of the situation.

I have good friends who work there, and they received generous bonuses when the acquisition happened last year, as well as having been treated well all along previous to that.

Just out of curiosity, what is a "generous bonus?" Competitive equity for an early employee on a $600m acquisition would have been, at a minimum, $600k. Did the employees receive even 5 figures?

I'm not sure what was shared with me should be public knowledge or not, but based on how the numbers were come up with, I think most employees would've received high 5's to 6's. Not sure about early employees, or if there really are any. Marcus had already made it quite big already (millions per month in ad revenue) when he was just a one man show.
