日本企业家30岁成高盛partner,快IPO了,却放弃值1亿刀的股份去创业

I don't quite believe his word and his "credibility". Maybe I am such a "small" person to understand his great mind.
However, I have a few doubts:
1, GS is not that stupid to give out free IPO to someone who soon leaves the company. There should be a contract with clauses on it. E.g. There is usually a blocking period for internal employees to liquid their IPO holdings, which can be half a year or even 1 year. And most company gives options, not shares, which can only be gradually exercised when employee is still in the company.
2, Even if it's possible to leave GS immediately after received the 100 million IPO, I don't think it's a challenge to anyone's credibility. It's not a "sign-on bonus" or begging for you to stay with the company. It's a merit to what you have done before GS goes public. Be mature. Lots of Google starting employees became millionaires and quit company after Google went to public listing, are they guilty?
3, With what you obtained from GS,  withhold the potential business opportunity from your company, you left GS and started your own business. Is there anything related to "loyalty" or "credibility", from the company's point of view?
