I didn't take a keen interest in the details as I'm in the 'what a dick he is' category, but weren't the wages increases from cutting his own $1m down to 70k? Not sure how many employees there were/are and some went from eg 45k to 70k, but I thought that was how he financed the initial increase, rather than consumer cost (for now).
