"when they gave those shares to Marco, they were worth less than $5 mil. That's a pretty good investment for those credentials and that experience."
For a company that is losing money that is lofty at best. $5M will still buy you some of the best CEO’s in the country.
Not bad for a company that is losing money, has seven stores and 50 employee’s.
In the real world the CEO would have to actually make the company money before he was given $5M or at the minimum it would be contingent upon the CEO making the company profitable.
BTW, what exactly has Marco done since taking the position?
Spin it however you care to but this is business as usual in penny land.
