More detail on arbitrator's award (Destiny)

I'm probably going to write something longer on it, but it is interesting to note that both O'Donnell and Bungie only prevailed on one claim each out of many, and the one that Bungie prevailed on was largely irrelevant.

I've written a blog post based on the arbitrator's award, with a link to the award itself.

Arbitrator Partially Restores Composer O'Donnell's Bungie Shares

In short, it appears Bungie's attorneys made mistakes in drafting various agreements, some large and some small. Some, the arbitrator waved away as minor and not transforming the character of the agreement in the manner O'Donnell alleged, and one opened up a loophole that let the arbitrator give O'Donnell anything the board could have, but didn't-- leaving it up to the arbitrator to decide what was fair and equitable.

In short, either Ryan got bad advice from counsel, or got good advice and didn't listen to it.
