No but IF you go for an IPO bailout you will lose your majority share holdings and the new shareholders will kick you out from the management.
And my conscience would be clear, no one lost anything, all is well. I'll try another project. Right?

Yes, Mark would feel fine since all clients got back their money. But he would lose his firm, in worst case get just $1 after the IPO
