sometimes people (the CEO and COO, here) pretend you (the CTO, here) are a bad person so that they don't feel bad about how they're treating you.

that's why all the nonsense badmouthing was happening and why it was so sudden and allegedly not based in reality. they had to do that in order to justify to themselves that taking CTO's shares was valid.

humans are piles of shit, as a species. we really don't deserve to last, in my opinion.
