I worked at Gravity (and was paid well above $70k). There was a lawsuit filed before the $70k thing was even planned. source: https://www.geekwire.com/2016/dan-price-70k-ceo-prevails-suit-filed-brother-gravity-payments-co-owner/ https://www.geekwire.com/2016/dan-price-70k-ceo-prevails-sui... > Lucas Price served the suit on his brother prior to the $70,000 announcement, and the core allegations related to the preceding years. The suit alleged that Dan Price used his majority control of the company to pay himself excessive compensation, manipulate valuations of the company to his financial benefit, and charge hundreds of thousands of dollars in personal expenses to the company. FWIW, Dan Price (owner of Gravity) is the real deal. While I no longer work there, I am proud of what he is doing. He is a capitalist, making a decision as a private business owner to help improve the lives of his employees earning < $70k (in the expensive Seattle area mind you) by reducing his own compensation.
