<<<It could have been worse if he exercised and held the shares. Stock drops, AMT hits and he'd really be on the hook.>>>

Well, what you described happened to my coworkers and me when our semiconductor startup was sold in August 2000. We had all our old shares vested and exercised and were given shares in a new company. So we all were either to sell new shares or to pay AMT. The management encouraged employees not to sell shares and offered no interest loans to people who didn't have the money to pay AMT. Most people listened to the management and didn't sell. Of course the stock cratered soon erasing all or most gains.
