>Sure, the contract was verbal. I still don't think we should be /astonished/ that someone honors an employment contract that was made for equity. That's setting the bar rather low, isn't it? With how businesses will try to screw people (employers, customers, and unrelated third parties) over even with written contracts, honoring a verbal contract at least appears to be breaking the norm. Maybe it only appears so because the bad faith behavior is so over reported, but a short review of history has left me thinking that humans will sell their soul for enough money. Consider the violence companies have always deployed to protect their profits, be it historically in the US or be it currently in third world countries.
