He's walking with around a sixth of all money raised by the company [1]

Might as well treat the execs and all VCs involved to a luxurious "fuck you" dinner!

Yep, the better comparison would be a % of Coinbase's market cap which is $11B. Still, as far as I know, walking away with 1% of your company's market cap is rare for a non-founder hired only 2 years prior.

Yea don't hold me for the rigor of my statement, it was just a comparison of magnitude.

You're right that they've already passed the bag to investors, possibly a lot of that to retail - they can all still have a nice "fuck you" dinner in their honor!
