It is important to keep in mind that, since the IPO, 73865 satoshi per share has been paid out - a 23% return for the first block of shares. All IPO shares will have at least broken even with this sale.

I can't imagine the sale was particularly easy to push through, so this is an impressive result overall. Considering the tight spot that SD has found itself in recently, the outcome is reasonably equitable.

For those who profited, bravo. To those who lost, know that we all have at some point - learn and move on with that knowledge; you'll be that much better in future dealings. I am glad to have witnessed another chapter in the Bitcoin saga come to a close.
