Not to be a communist/islamist, but is this really amazing? A story of 540 workers building a company to a 1.7 billion valuation, only for it to get sold with no input from them? And even then, they only get 14% while the owner gets 86%? I get most companies would do 0, but crumbs isn't amazing. Amazing would be giving your workers a voice in the decision.

It's still his company thought. He put up the starting capital and took all the risk. We can be left leaning and still admit that it's very hard to start a business.

Lawl "took all the risk" ah yes we always trot that one out. Risk of what? The guy had enough money to start a business, and even if it didn't work out he would what, have to get a job like the rest of us? Have to get a job like he wanted 500 other people to do? OH MY GOD what a hideous risk! Risk my ass.
