There would be a couple of reasons for that, if you are talking about getting stock - specifically the special Class A shares - in exchange for money the company owes JB.
Only Board members may own the Class A shares. Exactly how it is determined which Board members can own it has not been explained. But I'm pretty sure the Board would not have allowed JB to get any stock with super voting rights even if he was still on the Board.
And with the silly lawsuits the Board has against JB, they aren't going to grant him anything beneficial.
It will not surprise any of us if the Board ends up smelling like a rose at some point while the rest of us are picking thorns out of our butts.
