"The underwriters , not Zuckerberg, are in place to judge investors' ability to absorb shares, yet it appears he was unwilling to listen."

I love how he fails to consider that the underwriters and Facebook might have different financial interests. The higher the offer price the more money Facebook makes and the less money the underwriters make.



I thought underwriters take a share of the gross proceeds...?
