Re:My company sold for $100M and I got zilch – how can that be? by dragonwriter on Saturday October 26, 2019 @04:31PM (#21365995)

As a practical matter, it was, since it wasn't liquid and had no security against changes which would eliminate it's theoretical value before it became liquid.

It could have become worth something with the right set of future conditions, but those obviously did not materialize.

Lack of liquidity is not the same as worthless.

The lack of liquidity is a factor in the price.
