I've seen similar sentiment being repeated about Sahil, even by other successful founders like Nathan Berry.

It is a bit unfair to look at everything in hindsight and assume Sahil acted maliciously. He did what he could to scrap together the resources to save a failing company. It's not like he ran some sort of shell game to rob the original contributors of their equity. People always view the past in this way and it is incredibly biased. You have to go back and step forward in time with each piece of information as it was available, and at the time it appeared the company was surely going to fail.

In any case, I'd be curious to hear from some of the original contributors as to how they felt they were treated or how Sahil behaved.
