>>It is unfair to claim I've ever added any value whatsoever to the company at any point, so obviously I don't get that equity because of a value theory.
You don't receive any profit, realized or otherwise, unless the company appreciates in value, and if the company appreciates, that means you provided capital to what was an undervalued company, or a company that could produce a positive return on the investment of that capital.
Either way, your investment would likely have a net positive economic effect, and so the profit you received would be earned.
