The guy has apparently been successful in the past so not sure he needs this one to work.

I presume he doesn't want it to fail.

But think about it. If he is already loaded, gets $50k a year cash (plus $50k in shares) is he totally driven for it to go gangbusters quick?...or if he accumulates shares at a favourable mkt rate via the salary for shares deal...which he has been doing for years....then it finally goes up...=good win.

If it fails and it goes sub 10c....he still wins. I.e. he is already loaded, gets $1k a week salary anyway, and gets $1k week shares ongoing...that ultimately may be worth more. Particularly if he has spent years averaging down by 'sacrificing' salary for shares.

Not sure he is risking a lot apart from possibly reputation but at a time in his career that it kind of might not matter.

Lets just say these guys haven't covered themselves in glory....yet.

Overpromised...on timeframes....then kicked the can down the road.

Happy to be proven wrong.
