That is literally the convoluted situation photomatt was trying to avoid.
I also think that the suggestion is hilariously naive. Presumably the founder/head of the company has considered a variety of incorporation structures.
- ethbro 7y ago> Presumably the founder/head of the company has considered a variety of incorporation structures One would think, but apparently neither Yahoo nor Verizon made any effort in that direction. To the tune of putting approx $1 billion through the corporate paper shredder. Given that track record of handling, and an ostensibly similar approach, I thought it was a valid question.

- ClumsyPilot 7y agoArguably, it happened throug gross miss-management. Can you think of one good decision they made?
- jsjohnst 7y agoWho is they in this case? Tumblr leadership, Yahoo! leadership, Oath leadership, or Verizon leadership?
- JohnJamesRambo 7y agoYes.
- jsjohnst 7y agoI can think of a few good decisions the former half of that list made. Later half, not so much.
