Yes, it was very courageous of Wendt to accept $45,000,000 in cash just to walk in the door, and it was very courageous of Hilbert to accept $75,000,000 just to walk out the door, and it is very courageous of Jacobs to pump this stock through newspaper advertisements.

I don't know where they draw the strength to sacrifice themselves like that, they are truly noble humans, worthy of a Nobel prize at the very least.

Regarding the hard working, I imagine that some of the 2,000 people that Wendt laid off after accepting $45,000,000 just to show up work pretty damned hard.
