I read this post as a startup team member who's had to deal with similar problems with others once a startup makes money where people are under the misconception that they had an outsized impact on the whole thing when they contributed only a bit and now wanted more than they got, which they were happy with at the time. It's just after they see the success that their brain goes into an invalid state and suddenly feel entitled. Like you read about people's long lost relatives suing lotto winners. That's what this is.
