An interesting read, and since so many people here have been debating average salaries (cost per seat), the figures appear to be on page 23:

For year ended 31 Dec 2016
Average monthly number of employees: 221
Aggregate Remuneration: 9,920,917 pounds per annum

So average is 3,741 pounds per month = US$4,938 per month

This is only remuneration. Cost per seat is far higher. Must add rent, insurances, software, running costs, marketing, etc. to arrive at the total cost per employee. The often quoted "industry standard" of US$10,000 seems reasonable perhaps?

Quite reasonable. In some companies i've seen staff salaries listed as being 1/3 of the cost per seat. There again, in others they have been closer to 2/3.

Also heard 10 thousand POUNDS per seat/employee in the UK, not dollars.

You're asking the wrong question.
What you should be asking is, does anyone understand Hollywood accounts.

You know, the kind where you slush money back and forth between 17 different, but curiously similarly named, companies owned by pretty much the same people to make the the whole thing come out as ±0 at the end (so you don't have to pay any profit sharing or accidentally make it known that all companies are well in the red).

You just don't understand accounting development! Lease an Idris to yourself!

Upgrade to coincirege and you can also own a custom bottle of whiskey. Its just $1000 to become one! Isn't it worth it?

It is not real whiskey, it is just an item for your hangar. So you spend 1k so that you can at one point in time drink that in game.

So Foundry 42 (that was created for SC, and is owned by CR brother) got money from CIG, who got money from backers. They then used that money, nearly 2 million, to purchase the rights to Squadron 42 from...It does not say but you can only assume it was from CR as he is the only one that could have owned it. So it looks like CR gave himself a nice little 2 million bonus. If that does not convince you of the scam I am not sure what will. Oh perhaps this will help, Foundry 42 was created for SC, was owned by CR's brother, but then it was purchased by CIG. So giving CR's brother a nice little bonus.
