@adan_vivero@RT_com@WSJ the initial $10,000 equity stake was granted as part of his compensation package when he became a full-time employee, not something he had to buy himself.
@adan_vivero@RT_com βHe started as a contractor for $28 an hour, then was hired full time and given an equity stake valued at $10,000 that vested over five years. Like other employees, Hernandez had the option to use a portion of his paycheck to buy more shares, which he did over the years.β - @WSJ
