Bullshit. I presume Zuckerberg is making these claims to remove the board members -- many of whom also happened to be Istagram investors -- from any suspicion of wrongdoing. But clearly the price jump just prior to Facebook's acquisition lends credence to reports that many of Facebook's board will walk away with boatloads of cash from this deal. They were certainly under pressure to complete this prior to going public next month.
