Give Us Your Tired PowerPoint, Your Failed Plans ...

SEWilco writes: "The Seattle Post-Intelligencer points out that failed business plans are wanted for history. Professor Kirsch is creating a digital archive documents or personal experiences from the Internet bust at businessplanarchive.org so they can be preserved for historians. He mentions they have difficulties such as only finding two days of records about NY electric taxicabs which ran for 15 years around 1900. /. did review Business @ The Speed of Stupid, which is a contemporary examination of recent failures. And don't bombard them which suggestions that their PowerPoint collection should also be archived in a less proprietary form, as they already know that."

I've looked over this site, there was no way to browse the biz plans they have already gathered. Is this some sort of a scam? Are they just getting us to do all the work and keeping it themselves or using in their own research? I don't see a give back, all I see is mail your biz plans. This is a scam.

Doing the math, it looks like he was given about 150K shares. Had he sold all shares as soon as the SEC allowed,
he would have made about $6 million at $40-50/share. If he were to sell them all today, it would be worth less than $140K.

According to Yahoo Finance, it appears that he didn't exercise any of his options.

At least he put his money where his mouth was... but was it worth it?
