Yea definitely, that’s the way to do it, all startups should produce no value, inflate their stock and then the ceo should sell off his shares right before everything crashes and burns and screw his investors /s
they don’t like the way it is and do not find it meaningful, valuable, or palatable to abdicate what little (or lots) agency they have.
so, out of curiosity… did you successfully cash out, or just give up on a better future? it could also be both.
