"I think the bright side is that both JB and Tracy will eventually see the rewards for all their hard work."

Subject to what?  What kinds of rewards?  And by rewards, do you mean fair remuneration based on levels of contribution?

I think that you are drawing a conclusion based on a collection of suppositions, 1) none of which carries any more validity than another, and 2) a belief that the company will survive its current sorry state.
