1. Founders start a company with an awful name: !(<a href="http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/18500000/-The-Bad-Touch-bloodhound-gang-18578368-800-600.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/18500000/-The-Bad-Tou...</a>)<p>2. Founders essentially sell a controlling stake in the company trying to keep it alive.<p>3. New owners find out the founders are running it into the ground and tell these incompetents that they're not allowed to run this company they sold any more.<p>4. Under new ownership, and with zero input from said sainted founders, the money men manage to turn this dog (pun intended) into a worthwhile enterprise.<p>5. The people who created value (either by risking capital or making good management decisions or both) sell what they essentially built and cash in.<p>6. The founders who've been doing who-knows-what for A DECADE sue because they only got $36,000 for the POS company they sold when Bill Clinton was still in office.<p>7. Daily Mail says waaaaaaaah!<p>Listen, I'm sure it's not this simple, and - yeah - it's a cautionary tale for 23-year-olds who have some idea they want to milk for dinero long after their own usefulness has expired. But come ON!<p>Oh, also, they sold in a down market. I'm not so sure Zuckerberg, Dorsey or Systrom would have gotten anywhere near the deals they got if they were forced to find investors in 2000.
