Ah, if you were exaggerating the numbers to explain the concept, I can see how a more subtle screwing would be nonactionable. I thought you were saying they were that blatant

I think it certainly can be that significant or more. Someone else mentioned Facebook cofounder Eduardo Saverin. At IPO, Zuckerbergs's equity was down to 28% and Eduardo had been diluted down to 2%.

That is a co-founder of a high profile unicorn with continuous growth. Now imagine what can happen to employee # 1000 at a shady middle cap startup struggling to get to market.
