NVIDIA owes me a billion dollars in stock, but the statute of limitations has run out
Owed a billion dollars in Nvidia stock
In 1993, I was granted 25,000 NVIDIA options that were supposed to vest over one year. NVIDIA later claimed they vested over four years and forced me to exercise only 15,625 shares. After 30 years and a 480x stock split, the missing 9,375 shares would be worth about a billion dollars. NVIDIA doesn't dispute the agreement but says my claim is time-barred. My lawyers agree we can't win.
Here in the land of the free, it turns out a company only has to honor its contractual obligations for a little while.
