Start-up founders have routinely conned contractors and employees alike with their worthless stock options as an incentive to take less pay, work longer hours, and look the other way when it comes to the founders' meglomania, lack of business sense, crappy office location, etc..
It is Jan 1 2005. You awake in a pool of your own vomit.
If you want worthless stock, go to Sand Hill Road and peddle your great idea. Work your life away only to see it stolen by extremely wealthy white men.
If you want real stock, apply for a job at a publicly traded company and put as much as you can into ESPP. Try not to get screwed.
Don't forget to clean yourself up first.
