Probably they will also fire remaining 15 people and move everything to Italy.
Their strategy is to
- fire everyone,
- give product to very small but ambitious team of people

- use every possible dark pattern exist to get every penny from the users

Thousands of developers organized themselves to develop an open source application to help the victims of earthquake in Turkey.
