Summary:

The Board found as a fact that the $15,000 settlement represented claimant's equity in the firm. Claimant joined the firm on the basis of obtaining capital, instead of earning income at a rate he was capable of earning elsewhere. Open to the BOR to findas it did. Decision upheld by Umpire and FCA.
