The taxation structures around stock options in the United States appear extremely complex. Google for something like "taxation of stock options in private company"...

I'm certainly not an expert, so don't listen to me for any financial or legal advice.

You never dispensed any advice, so your disclaimer is unnecessary.

True! It was a preemptive measure, in case I go crazy and start giving advice anyway ;)
