Your blog post is making a logical error. You're assuming that you're being owed the right to exercise your options retroactively so you calculate the foregone value of the stock you could have had if you exercised, which is dishonest because they can only deliver expired options to you.
You could still sue Nvidia for compensation, assuming no statue of limitations, but the thing you can be compensated for is a completely different thing. You can still be compensated the value of the option. I.e. the difference between the strike price and the market price 30 years ago. That's the thing you can sue for. You cannot retroactively extend the option because longer duration options have a higher premium so you would be telling Nvidia to pay you more money than they contractually obligated themselves.
He did exercise those options.
Are you a lawyer?
Are you going to ask this question to everyone who writes anything in this discussion?
It's beside the point whether he's a lawyer. He's not your lawyer, that's for sure. The "no medical nor legal advice but otherwise you can advise anything" idea is beyond stupid.
Judge advice on its merit, not by what category it's in.
Knowing whether a lawyer believes a legal theory helps judge the merit of that theory, because civil law conventions are what lawyers (including judges) believe.
It's the internet, anyone can say they're a lawyer. If you take legal advice from an internet stranger because they say they're a lawyer, well i might have a bridge to sell you
Fun fact: it's a crime to say you're a lawyer if you aren't one.
Now you're pulling facts out of your non-lawyer pocket like it's actually (universally) true.
Which jurisdiction? Under what circumstances? Who enforces these purported rules?
I don't need to ask whether you're a lawyer, you're simply out of your depth I'm afraid.

This is not an absolute fact.
It depends entirely on the commenter's jurisdiction.
It being a crime or not should have no bearing on whether or not you should take legal advice from a self-purported lawyer on a public forum.
Is that legal advice?
