That doesn't make sense as a concern. Layoffs are a loss cutting measure. If you are doing layoffs of things they produce then essentially by definition what you have isn't all that economically valueable to be worth stealing. It shouldn't be something they could "sell". If it is of value then why are you letting them go instead of producing something else of value in a follow up? Layoffs would be a squandering.
