I read this article and still walked away feeling like I didn’t understand the situation that well.
Is it $56 billion that he’s already been paid, and he needs to return it? $56 billion he’s partially been paid, and he can keep what he has, but won’t get the rest? Something more complicated?
Thanks for the speculation. It still seems a bit odd, especially considering he’s asked the board to give him a 25% stake in the company recently.
I wonder if he did anything like back loans with those options, and if he did, what the consequences would be now that he’s not going to have them anymore?
