Ask HN: Should I sell out the startup that misled me?

You have been scammed.

Leave immediately, take your IP, and don't even consider doing anything else until things are in writing and the backpay, etc are resolved.

I would go a step further and get the hell away from these guys. If they've scammed you, they've likely scammed others and/or will scam people again. This could be you again, customers, or your investors. You do NOT want to be part of a team that scams their investors.

Walk.

I hate to ask for an explanation here, but I can't find what IP means in this case.. Can you define?

I guess he's referring to Intellectual Property, so the code probably.

This from OP: 1) The work that I produced for them is still mine, as no copyright transfer has been signed. They'll almost certainly be trying to sell this / bring it to investors.
