In the USA or UK ?

The UK tends to have stronger protection for employee shares -not that there haven't been some dodgy deals BAXI getting taken over by carpetbaggers and screwing the owners is a well know case in the UK.

And I have been on the receiving end of losing $1,000,000 at Poptel if only ICANT weren't such a bunch of ass%^&&S and the CoOp had been a bit more tech savvy - still water under the bridge.

Poptel was a worker co op btw so I had .5%

This is in the USA. While I've invested in a few foreign companies, I'm not familiar with how other countries deviate generally from SV norms.
