I just feel for employees that were paid in part with equity. I'll bet a lot of them would have been very happy with a $100m valuation, but they wouldn't have had any say.

The lesson here to any even mildly talented developer is: unless you believe in the company/CEO 1000%, don't rely on equity. Take the cash, and walk away when it all burns to the ground.
