Funny how correcting you on the facts (commission != equity) made absolutely no difference to your conclusion...
Have no dog in this fight, but did cypher really get commission? As in "for the miners he personally sold"? Or did he get 10% of total sales? 10% commission seems reasonable. Paying out 10% of (total) sales is not, strictly speaking, a commission, and paying 10% of gross sales (did HF sell much of anything other than BJs?) to some nobody posting on a forum?
He was paid commission in the form of 10% of Batch 1 Baby Jets sold. Not total sales.
We've seen the actual '10% of Batch 1 Baby Jets' commission mutate into unfounded rumors of 10% of total sales and even 10% of equity.
That is ridiculous. Am I the only one here capable of reading legalese?
