still he did put a nearly a mill towards the company and probably most of his time over the last six years him having such a large amount of shares means the most to the shareholders cause the better the company does the better he does. And if he tried to collect all of that note it would send the company down to the dumps(even more so) and render it more or less noncollectable. hopefully the reason he changed the terms and took an additional 20 million shares is that they will actually be able to afford such terms and those 20 million shares will be worth a lot more.
