“If it involves money. It’ll be on our platform. Money or securities or whatever. So, it’s not just like send $20 to my friend. I’m talking about, like, you won’t need a bank account.”

Nah, the remaining employees aren't the "dead wood" necessarily. They're all the ones on H1 visas who can't legally work in the US anywhere else (without taking a massive risk).

Probably likely to be a lot of L1's there. At least H1B can move if sponsored, whereas for L1 you're basically fucked.
