I know it doesn't change any big picture or official picture, but that kind of holding by his compadre's would put even more pressure on him to make the company do well, because at the root of all businesses and financial markets is human psychology. However, this is not something that is provable, and I don't want to start asking these people about their personal finances, but it's a comforting thought to me to think that he has more at stake than just his shares. An intangible insurance policy for the shareholders i guess you could call it. IMO
