The recent publicity focused on Ted and his $8M stock bonus, now valued at $50 got me thinking. For one how could I have missed that fact from previous filings. I'm a bit ashamed of myself for not being the first to announce his value loss of that bonus. But aside from that. I was considering the shear disproportion of the bonus compared to his other compensation. For one I don't feel any less anomosity for him despite the implied connection to his loss as mirrored to my investment loss and the other investors. Because he was payed $225k and did receive a $1.2M cash bonus and $750/mo car allowance along with $75k/annually for housing. But also it was his decisions that ultimately devalued those shares. Now back to my other observation the inbalance of stock value of the bonus in comparison to his other compensation. I believe it plausable that the bonus was so extreme compared to the other components of his income package by design because the decrease in value was expected. Immediatly after the bonus distribution is when the drop off in value occurred. The other inside share holder, I forget name who received stock as compensation immediately sold his for what $12M or so. There is a big picture plan to this whole situation and it's a mystery to be discovered. I guess I'm just saying that I feel he knew that the bonus wasn't really a $8M bonus when it was received.
