  "account": "Former Flipkart employees are urging Walmart to pay out their vested stock options, demanding a buyout outside the company's impending IPO. In a letter to Walmart's board, ex-executives argue that linking employee liquidity solely to the IPO leaves them with no certainty when they can cash in their options.
