I am a little confused how we can add up to $50M.

Let’s say they only hire the best of the best, and it somehow costs them $200k per employee used to build the site.

Let’s say 20 to build the front end. 20 to build the back end. 20 to integrate with third parties. 20 to manage deployment. Let’s put another 20 on QA. 20 managers . 20 PMs. 10 translators. Running out of roles and I’m still 100 employees short (or 350 employees short had I used a more realistic $100k average per employee)...


'It's one website, Michael. What could it cost, $50M?'


Totally not money laundering.
