Ah, the magic of financial engineering. Mr. Neumann will cash out of his fictional decacorn in dribs and drabs and never have to work again. Everyone else will be left with a bit pile of shit (aka a commercial real estate venture that bet on ever upward growth and got ripped to shreds in the secular downturn).
It's not like they were working hard to make the world a better place, but investing in the hopes that they would be richer without too much work. It's hard to feel sorry for them. They are on the same level as Neumann but he happened to be cannier.
