Yeah, Mark Cuban actually managed to turn his bubble shares of YHOO into cold, hard cash.

How much cash did Steve Case manage to withdraw from the stock market piggy bank?

With the options he had made so he could retain value even when YHOO crashed. Whatsapp founders will probably do something similar w/ FB.
