This is the yearly salary of 5,000 well paid employees…

Also the monthly Claude Teams Pro price for about 4 000 000 employees. Which I'm guessing perhaps they weren't using. If this company even exists.

Or since this was only in a month, 60000 employees for that same month.

But imagine having a software studio with 1000 skilled developers to work on a project for 5 years. I have several good game ideas I could have created in that time frame. Some might even have made money. Likely not half a billion dollars but still….

This just screams money laundering though.
