it is not a matter of "fairness" but of technical legal rules.
First, you don't indicate the nature of the company, but partnership, corporation or LLC you probably have a right to an accounting to determine missing money and a lawsuit to recover "stolen" money.
One's ownership interest, is an independent matter and may have independent value.
You probably need to speak to a business attorney or business litigator in your area.
