For any employees that have already exercised their options, that also means the value of what they thought they were getting just went down.

  Yes, but that a risk they accepted.

    Nobody said otherwise. Doesn’t make make it anymore attractive though.
  • borski 4y ago
    Sure, but it's still compensation that is now less attractive. I never called it a moral failing.

  The imaginary value went down, unless they are actually offering liquidity for employees who have exercised.
  • borski 4y ago
    Secondary markets exist for Stripe stock.
    • melony 4y ago
      If they buy back after exercising, they would be making a profit!
      • borski 4y ago
        Haha there has got to be some law against this.
