>By the way, do you believe Bezos payed his family back in cash or just the stock?
Glenn, the loan from his family is pure PR, this is exactly what happened.
JB arrived in Seattle with his business plan. He was introduced to Tom Alberg former vice-chairman of At&t wireless who had just formed Madrona Investments (now Seattle's largest vc).
Tom was impressed enough to invest $200,000 but because of the large capital requirement he decided to refer JB to Kleiner Perkins.
Since then Tom has sold over $200 million worth of Amzn stock and I'M JEALOUS:-(((((((((((((
