the bonus was all stocks so he can take a loan at 0% using the stocks as collateral and not have to pay taxes on it.

This is not accurate. Stock grants are treated as ordinary income on the date they vest. Sure after income tax is paid, you can do loans against it etc. But vesting of stock is a tax event. This is a common misunderstanding online.
