Just to clarify one thing, the founders in the AirBnB case were not selling anything to investors -- they were taking a dividend, which is even worse for the early employees, because the founders get rich without dilituing themselves, precluding the other employees from doing better in a subsequent round.

To be clear, the Airbnb team is offering liquidity to all of the employees to address this very concern, and have since resolved this issue.
