Actually SoftBank is getting a good deal, using $5B to get a controlling interest of WeWork at 70%, wiping out all the commons and other LP's. If they can cut out the slacks and focus on the core value proposition, WeWork can work after 4 to 5 years. The WeWork brand is unique and valuable.

They did that to Priceline in the past. Priceline was almost dead at one point. Got sold at a fire sales. They hunkered down and executed, and look where they are now.
