Upon verification from SEC filings and financial reports, the $3.384B figure reflects the peak paper value of Trevor Milton's Nikola stake in 2020, not cash banked. While CEO (until Sept 2020), he made no stock sales due to lockup; his salary was nominal (~$173K in 2020, then $1/year). Post-tenure, he cashed ~$374M from sales but forfeited $165M in arbitration. Pardon in 2025 nullified further restitution.
