### Comment:
You say that... then the IRS comes a-knocking. 
  
 Fortunately, most startups that say they're close to IPO, never actually IPO (5% of the time it works every time); so, the IRS problem is probably something you won't have to worry about.

### REPLY:
The thing here is they are so profitable and a start up that there may be no reason to go public unless to acquire more companies.

### END.
