If it's his first major business (and obviously being valued in the $1b region it's now seriously major) then I can understand that he wouldn't want to let it go. In a previous life I was in another service industry and kept my business open for at least a year after the profits went -ve... I spent so much time on it that I couldn't bring myself to close it. Incidentally, if I hadn't fallen into adult I wouldn't have been able to pay off the debts that I closed with relatively quickly.
