If he was paid by Market 99, then he too would be spat on when the traders stock is down - he would be "one of the posse" - the "scam posse" who will "pay for their sins in the depths of hell" for having a hand in the master plan of terrorizing and ruining shareholders - because since he would somehow "be involved," - i would think all the current shareholders would probably think of him the same way, like they do me (even though I havent made a penny over what web development costs were and havent bought or sold any shares in MNTY), I wouldn't wish that on Dave at all.
Hopefully if they do work something out people here would continue to respect him.
