Yeah, typically, there's so many ways to transact without informing the company, right?

A common one would be futures contract, basically selling the right to the investment and the future performance of the investment.

Yeah, so the funny thing is there's these sort of digital asset equivalents, like people making basically meme stocks around that are trying to track overall interest or the overall valuation of these companies.

They sold off, which is funny because I don't believe they're actually tied to any real underlying equity.

Yeah, so I'm trying to think through how this plays out.

Overall, I think the reaction from the internet was being more dramatic than maybe is necessary.

Because already, if you're, let's say, an early investor in Anthropic, and you at some point sold your shares, you didn't go to the board and get permission, but you structured some deal to sell your shares.

That is so.

Win-win.

Waiting.

Well, waiting for that.

On one hand, neither party, if you bought the shares or you sold the shares, neither party is that incentivized to go to Anthropic Board and be like, hey, I'm really sorry.

Like, we did this.

It was against.

Because on one hand, like, there's probably some scenario where the investor or the Anthropic employee could get their shares, like, voided or reclaimed in some scenario.

So they don't necessarily want to do that.

The investor is like, well, I bought these shares and now they're worth a lot more.

So let's just, like,

be chill and let this play out, and we'll all forget about it, right?

But there is a scenario where the seller tries to then make the case of, oh, actually, I'll just give you the money back, because now the stock is appreciated so massively.
