Sure, the only things in life that are certain is death and taxes. Nothing else is really that black and white.
I still don't believe that a founder doing what's best for them and their family is "wrong". Absolutely, employees should be a concern and a founder looking to be acquired should do whatever possible to ensure a successful future for them as well. But to say that a founder must own a company forever and ever with no chance at ever exiting is not something I can agree with.
No hard feelings, but I hope we can both take away here that there are nuances to this topic (and every other topic) and to say that "selfish behavior is wrong" is too extreme a statement.

Well then selling your company to a PE firm in a Leveraged Buyout is among the worst possible scenarios for your employees so by your own logic this is a bad choice.
