I never said "the face behind the coin needs to keep his stake in the game for it to succeed" or that he owes me an explanation. I'm not questioning his actions, I'm saying his explanation makes no sense. This is simply not a case of conflict of interest, as I said, and the fact that he said that it was is extremely concerning.
I see what you are saying about risks vs. rewards, but it cuts both ways - he could theoretically throw caution into the wind and try something super risky, because if it fails, it doesn't really matter to him that much.
