MBB and exec's stand to make a whole lot more if they uplist and and stock goes up than divy up 3 to 5mil as some posters have stated The question is how many birds need to be in the bush to beat the bird in the hand. Only a small amount of their equity in the company is in the common stock...its almost meaningless. It has value in doing more deals, granted, but many many things need to fall into place for that value to become unlocked...if its there.
