Yes, that sounds right. There were roughly 400 to 500 people near the end, if I remember, so $5M monthly burn is in the right ball park. This was over 15 years ago when salaries were much less. Usually waste in one area, like office space, means waste in other areas. So, yeah, the office space alone wouldn't buy much time. You'd need a whole change in attitude.

Oh this was 15 years ago? $10M is pretty extravagant for ~500 people, considering construction labor was nearly half the price it is now back in 2010, probably 60-65% of today’s wages.
Yeah, it was around 2010 - 2011. It was a very nice building!
