.... but staff cashed in? Hmm.. looking for the downside.

Exactly. My heart isn't exactly breaking that VCs didn't make as much of a profit as they could have possibly made. I'm painfully uninterested in whether they can buy a yacht or a superyacht.

The employees getting a meaningful amount of money is exactly what we should all be caring about. Unless you're a VC, I guess.

I didn't post this for people to feel bad for the VCs. It's super funny the banks totally fucked them. These "sophisticated investors".
