But hopefully Paul won't waste any more money trying to copy his brother... he just spent two years in 'stealth mode' before releasing some pointless social network spin-off.

But nobody cared.

the cto, cfo, probably 5-10 mils, vps will prob walk out with > couple million.. directors maybe ~ 1 mil.

leaving the lonely programmers and qa guys to pick up the leftovers.

]]> <![CDATA[Bebo founders earn $595 million, enough to buy a haircut]]> Wow, if the Birches still owned 70% of the company when the deal went through (and Balderton Cap owned 15.7% as has been reported ), it doesn't look like the execs and the 70+ employees did all that well. Relatively speaking, of course - they all won the lottery by unloading this sucker on AOL for that kind of money before the social networking bubble completely deflates.
