But taking an optimistic P.O.V,these 'individuals' wouldn't have bothered granting themselves undeserved shares, if they were going to end up being worth nothing,in my view. They would be privy to insights not yet available to us and I suspect have a reasonable belief those shares are going to end up being worth a bit more than they are now.
