It seemed Kevin was not happy with the sale, but I don't think Laird bought the turtles thinking they were worth a lot more. Kevin just didn't have foresight and was bad at investments.
Laird sold the turtles for way too little, if he had held just a few more years and exploited the 87 cartoon nostalgia he could've easily sold for twice the price Viacom paid. So it's not like Laird is a financial genious either, he just wanted out of the turtles, like Kevin did when he sold his share.
