Can never happen, the guy who says that this ain't ur money no more has made sure that investors know their place on board, they r afterall just passive investors who r spreading risks around, even wework a company that has fucked up financials had to give their founder close to a billion dollars just for stepping down, as long as the founder is a majority stakeholder, he will always remain in control
