He is offering these people something that they can get nowhere else, a job offer in a large corporation. When I worked in IDT it was amazing to see a huge bais medrash in the middle of an office building, and there are people that learn all day. I don't have much (or any) other work experience, but I doubt that it will be as easy to be fully observant in any other business I can possibly work in. Although he may not be the most religious man, Howard Jonas in an exemplary Baal chesed, and hopefully these people will pick their asses off of kollel benches to sit behind a desk and make enough money to raise their children in an environment fitting someone required to live in the confines of Kedoshim Te'hiyu.

That buys a lot of silence, you can be sure. King Solomon was right: "money answers everything." Now you know why he was the wisest man ever.
