So what? I don't understand this attempt to discredit the person because they previously made some money at amazon. A million dollars is still a lot of money.

So what? I don't understand this attempt to discredit the person because they previously made some money at amazon. A million dollars is still a lot of money. They still had to make a decision to turn down that easy money and speak up about it. They could have just as easily continued to work at amazon and save up 10+ million, etc.
