There is no long-term strategy. Ethereum and the DAO are dead. No one would dare put money in after this disaster.

What determines how much investors actually recover?

I think this is in reference to the attacker already have 'stolen' 30% of the available funds. Without a fork, the remainder of the DAO is at risk, so the same attacker or copycat attackers could take the remaining 70% leading to the 30% - 100% range.
