None of this has anything to do with anything. In the immortal words of William Munny, "deserve's got nothing to do with it". Any properly papered company has a legal structure based on 20+ years of SFBA lawyers predicting that founders are going to leave their companies, which will need to remain going concerns for any startup ever to be investable.

If you're an exiting founder in an LLC without an operating agreement, you can kill the company. Otherwise: you leave with whatever you vested. That's really all there is to the discussion, for now!
