Aaron is now the lead on the Quicken Online product at Intuit. He'll have to work there for 2 years (or possibly 3 or 4) in fully vest in this exit and unlock his golden handcuffs. So, yes, he has FU money on paper. But, he's got another couple years of working for "the man" first.

Is this public?

It seems possible that he'd get acceleration and be retained through other means (retention bonuses/etc.).

Also, for a company in Mint's position an earn-out is somewhat common (although it would be hard to argue that this would be the case when Aaron is taking over all of Quicken Online).
