An engineer borrows $700,000 against their house to exercise employee stock options, expecting an upcoming startup IPO to turn private company equity into real wealth.
Six months later, investor funding collapses and the company shuts down.In a single morning, the job disappears and the equity becomes worthless.
But because the options were already exercised, the IRS still treats thetransaction as taxable income, and the financial consequences do not stopthere.
This finance story explores startup equity, employee stock options, tech compensation, leverage, phantom income, tax liability, private company risk, liquidation, and the investing psychology of tying personal wealth to one employer.
