It depends how much they invested in it before selling, my ignorant guess would way less than $425m. Also some investors may have invested in it for a valuation of 1B, in which case they did not get the return they expected. Anyway, I'm pretty sure all parties involved must be doing fine.
From a user experience perspective it is freaky fast at updating other clients.

It works fine for other boards, so I assume it wasn't built with so many lists+cards in mind. But the fact it, it can be slow, almost unusable, at least for certain use cases.
