According to the article he left two months after the company was founded, well before the company had any saleable assets. The other two founders persevered, took the risks, and are now richly rewarded.

Given the state of the company at the time he left, I'd say that his shares were overvalued...
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
