I don't get to change my mind later and get mad that you didn't give me more and call you immoral. But on the other hand, if you’d agreed to sell me your car at a price under what you might be able to get elsewhere—maybe because I was financially struggling and you were doing me a friendly favour—you’d probably be pretty miffed if I won the lottery and still demanded you stick to your offer…

If I were miffed, I could rescind the offer or ask for more. Just like the investors could have demanded their money back if they wanted too. They chose not to, which would seem to indicate they weren't miffed. Nobody forced them to do anything. It's not immoral to ask someone for an accommodation and accept it. The investors didn't give him the money as a friendly favor to help him it out. It was an investment. Presumably they make a lot of them and understand the risks involved in doing so. If you're going to get hurt feelings whenever one of your investments doesn't pay off, you're not cut out to be an investor.
