It shouldn't be legal and maybe it isn't, but all schemes like this are, when you get down to it, ultimately about suppressing potential or actual evidence of serious, possibly criminal misconduct, so I don't think they are going to let the illegality get them all upset while they are having fun.

What crimes do you think have occurred here?

I’m no lawyer. But, this sure smells like some form of fraud. Or, at least breach of contract.

Employees and employer enter into an agreement: Work here for X term and you get Y options with Z terms attached. OK.

But, then later pulling Darth Vader… “Now that the deal is completing, I am changing the deal. Consent and it’s bad for you this way. Don’t consent and it’s bad that way. Either way, you held up your end of our agreement and I’m not.”

I have no inside info on this, but I doubt this is what is happening. They could just say no and not sign a new contract.

I assume this was something agreed to before they started working.
