Nope...I was responding to the OP's statement about not understanding how they could have turned down $6B from Google.

If they IPO and the company is worth $12B - $20B and all their investors get to cash out. As much of a shell game as it is, that would have been a fiscally prudent move by management.

Can I rephrase 'is worth' as 'is valued at'?
