It's a business, not money. If I'm forced to sell parts of the business I am building, and then the new owners drive it into the ground and zero out the rest of my equity, is it just "tough cookies"? Can I get a tax refund?
Sure, I'm open to softening the edges a bit if you have suggestions there. Good incentive to plan your partners in advance ;) But yeah, in the end, if you own $100M of a company, I bet you'll still land on your feet even if it all goes down in flames somehow.
You're allowed to keep $100M of it! That's seriously a lot of money!
