Who? Do you know this or is it simply conjecture. Do you know for sure that Joe Hewitt is there just for the IPO? Also, if the contracts were created correctly there should be an earnout to prevent just such a thing if it was a serious risk. Many companies have been through an IPO with out losing their top talent, perhaps you should look at GOOG and see how detrimental the IPO was to that stock.
