I'm not defending Adam N, but Jeffrey Skilling committed out right fraud, as far as i know, no one has accused that of happening at We Work

It depends on how you define "fraud". It was definitely run with a lax definition of truth.
Seemingly there's a lot of pump-n-dump types of situations going on that in this case SoftBank was complicit with Adam with.

This is not an isolated case, and I'm glad Wall St. called bullshit on WeWork, but likely only because even they couldn't place those bullshit IPO shares - not enough greater fool liquidity out there apparently... Sounds like a case for optimism :D
