What's complicated about backing from high caliber venture capitalists? If anything, your post(s) are the only thing complicated around here. For a start the above funds certainly didn't pay $0 for their stake in Buddy as you are proclaiming.

No 1PG didn't have "80%" of their shares held in escrow for two years and neither will Buddy - your statistic there is exaggerated. It's quite simple as 67% of the shares will be issued to current "Buddy" investors and the remaining 33% to current POK shareholders/credit raising participants - this was outlined in today's announcement. Add in another 7-8% to "Buddy" investors if we include various options.

For the record 1PG has 55,300,000 shares in escrow for two years out of 119,000,000 total. They also had 15,100,000 shares in escrow for one year. Totally this is 70M/119M or 59%!

Please let us know what games the above investors have played with the likes of Linkedin's share price?

I fail to see what you are being cautious about here....Gathering accurate facts instead of making them up should be ones preferred course of action when contributing to these forums imo.

Worth noting David McLauchlan's performance share allocation. Be interesting to see his ownership percentage in the company when that data is released.
