This is an example of a "real world" exit - where tangible products and commoditized software intersected with a knowledgable buyer.

"no real return" might be a strong statement to make when you take into account retention packages and bonuses that Samsung probably put together.

Sure, none of them are probably retiring, but if they can stick around at Samsung for a while they can probably do very well for themselves.

They did not get 'venture returns.'
