There's a difference between "not being super poor anymore" and taking a $6 million payday. Can you name a company where this hasn't resulted in disaster?

As Mark Suster put it, "Not FU money, but 'feed the family' money." What these guys got was FU money.

Sorry, but $3M for a founder is not FU money. You can use it to buy a half-decent home in the bay area and a nice dinner...and well, that's it.
