Why are you making moral judgements on a business decision? The investors didn't HAVE to take a write down, they chose to. The early employees didn't HAVE to join this company, they chose to.

Why do you deem it immoral for a founder to do what is best for himself within the bounds of the agreements he has made?

This kind of calling-out is common in HN and quite distasteful. Comments like this all amount to saying "X is immoral because they refused to give a charitable donation to Y". Charity is not a moral requirement and arguably it's not even a moral good.
