This is why it’s so crucial to do double trigger vesting.

I think it is double trigger, except that these old RSUs will expire soon.

They are double-trigger (source: I am a Stripe RSU holder). However, they also have an expiration date. The expiration provides the "substantial risk of forfeiture" that the IRS requires in exchange for not taxing the RSUs at the time you receive them.

My understanding is this is a problem because they are double trigger. If they weren’t double trigger there would be no issues
