The CEO has a fair amount of money personally, I wouldn't put it past him to go after me with his personal funds. He's a generally nice guy but a ruthless business person, especially if someone torpedoes his company.

On that note, he has gone without pay much longer than me. It's not like he's been taking paychecks this whole time. But he's also a millionaire and I'm barely getting by after my entire savings went away from all the missing pay checks.

So, first, you aren't the one torpedoing the company. That was done by whoever failed to hire a CTO or people to maintain the business on the tech side.

Second, the CEO's situation is not your situation. They have money and legal responsibility for the business, you don't. They have a more favorable equity situation and voting power, you don't. You have to look out for yourself.
