    Gross, no thanks. The whole point of the IPO is so Huffman and all the other schmucks there with piles of equity can finally get their big pay day. Fuck the lot of them.

      Yeah the fact they’re deliberately targeting individual investors instead of institutional investors kind of underscores that this is a cashout.
