We don't know liquidation preferences, multipliers, etc.

That said Splunk is generally deal with nice entities, not the ones who make their way up by screwing people around.

So hopefully these execs are a good bunch too.

There could be shady things but liquidation preferences aren’t ever 6x. More likely that the founders just kept most of the equity themselves.
