In practical terms, this company is on a path towards failure. You screwed up by voicing your intentions prematurely, no question. It's possible that you could attempt to use the law to get them to settle for an amount that could cover part of your last six months. However, I am strongly of the opinion that your equity is worth nothing because companies that act like this never make it anywhere near profitability. There's a huge difference between founder bootstrapping and exploiting people.
