Sure, for the law this is probably just a role playing game. What I was talking about is that within the constraints of the game, he has no vote. Other commenters seem convinced that he has voting shares but promised not to use them. I haven't seen any proof for that yet.
I do think that as this experiment goes on and the Kmikeym stock price goes up, the stakes increase and it becomes harder to back out. Imagine: an organized crime syndicate could buy $1 million in Kmikeym stock to launder money – if he does anything that adversely influences Kmikeym share price, he might be in for a world of hurt. Or another scenario: his parents might be so convinced in their son's success that they mortgage their house to pay for shares in Kmikeym. If he screws up, his parents lose their home.
In the context of the game, you're right, he has no vote. But this isn't Pathfinder, there are very real out-of-game-context consequences to this game. This is more akin to a long-term slave BSDM relationship.
