That's one way of running a tech company but what you'll end up with is going to look more like one of those comically bad bodyshops that's used for outsourcing.

Truth is, the 10x will eventually leave when someone from his circle points out he has a much better comp package than him and lure him for an interview (and will, of course, cash that 10K referral bonus). But the 1x and 0.1x will sure stick around for many years.
