I don't see the problem. He told him honestly: this is not a job for you.

Maybe it's exploitative, maybe not, maybe they are offering stocks. Maybe they are taking a chance on a junior role. Whatever. It's all good if people are honest and if the work is long hours, that those hours are paid. That's it.

I've worked in a startup and a lot of times it's honest people that want to make something succeed and are in a hurry. It's a normal situation. They want someone that's like them, to put in long hours and make it work. I think that's ok, if it's communicated at the start and then paid in some part ownership. And we don't know if that is the case here.
