Why would KPCB sell back their stake for $1? Why not just hang on to the stock just in case it turned around? The explanation that they didn't want the overhead of appointing a board member sounds strange. If you don't like the company, send a junior person who can learn board membering in an unimportant firm.

Sounds like they wanted the tax benefit of marking a loss on the investment.
