Fire him, or something. Unless you're some weird 1% founder and the CTO has a 10% stake, this is simply not his call to make. Even suggesting it is out of line. Programmers get fucked all the time because they lack power in companies, even over things that aren't particularly their fault. You may fancy yourself as someone who is enlightened and listens to his employees. All well and good, but you are not obligated to participate in your own ousting. You took a bunch of risk, did a ton of work, etc. This is the time to harvest that, not be obsessed with justice. He can start his own damn company if he's so smart.
