What information do you have that they weren't contributing to the bottom line?

The CEO saying "the business isn't viable" says a lot.

That sounds a lot like the CEO is throwing 50% of the company under the bus for his own failures to you know, make the business viable.

If they thought they would make more money on net with the employees than without them, they wouldn't have laid them off?

130 employees making <$3m in revenue seven years in means you have to do something else. The information we all have now is that the bottom line is not very much so whatever they were contributing to the bottom line can't be that much.

You have to go find a different business when this happens.

$2.8m revenue with 130 employees is about $21,000 per employee.

The numbers here don't look good.

The burden of proof lies with the person making the claim (even if implicitly), not with the person questioning the claim.
