I would consider that perhaps your facts are wrong. Perhaps the first investor did a convertible note. Perhaps he did a loan.
First thing I would do is calmly talk to the CEO directly and tell him what the CFO told you and why it makes you concerned.
There's no reason to be disgusted (yet) from reading your pastebin.
And even if it's true, then you simply need to ask the company to cover your tax burden and then move forward with getting back to work.
This is not that big of a deal.
