For FB specifically, they just pre-sell 40% of issued RSUs. The amount then shows up on paystub as income tax withheld.

There's no extra money to be had on top of the RSU grant - for a global company it would be unfair to treat employees at high tax burden locations differently from employees in low tax burden countries.
