This worked because he used a self directed IRA that most likely invested in some LLC with a marginal amount. It's very probable he also invested in the same company via some other investment vehicle, possibly direct ownership. The managing members simply assigned more benefits to the self directed IRA instead of the other account...

What does not seem fair is that most people think you can only invest in stocks and bonds in an IRA. You go to a bank or brokerage to open an IRA account... They offer you mutual funds, etfs, stocks, bonds... not much else... No one ever tells you that you can do this a different way and invest in different ways... Why? It's just too complicated for most people...

Yes it does suck for the rest of us but if you have money you have good advisors that can construct this IRA and all of its transactions in a legitimate manner.

What really sucks is I never got the opportunity to invest in PYPL at $0.001 per share. That’s the part that actually confused me. Sure its pre-IPO, but I’ve never seen any that are pricing their shares that low in the beginning, did I miss something?
