If he wants day-to-day control as a founder but doesn&#x27;t want to keep an ownership interest, then he can sell his shares and apply for the job of CEO.   But that means he can be fired.  So he wants to be CEO, not own the company, and yet nobody can fire him.  The Romans had a word for that: Tyrant, with tyrannicide being a virtue.  This scheme is doomed.  The sooner he realizes it the fewer heads will roll during the cleanup.
