Who cares about unsophisticated investors who buy at the IPO or employees, or long-term stability? This company was a short term deal like many others in the web startup space. Hype worked. Virtual goods? It makes me laugh everytine I say it. Pincus and other investors made heaps of cash from this, no doubt. Mission accomplished. Call it sa success. Time to close up shop and on to the next one.

Facebook is much the same way. Some people have made fortunes. Who cares about public investors, Wall Street and employees? They'll survive.

It's just business.




You realize that capitalism can't function when people keep stealing capital, right?
