Okay, I’ll say it. Something stinks here, and it’s not just the smell of cooked books at Entellium. The incredibly simple scandal over there is sending shockwaves through the Seattle startup community. How did this happen? What does this mean for the rest of us?

Most certainly you’ve heard about the IRS Regulation 409A. Here is some "light" reading on the subject from the IRS in case you are interested. It became effective on January 1, 2005 by the IRS and came out of all of the nasty Enron mess. What is it? It has to do with the treatment of non-qualified deferred...
