I'd have to think the internal risk team at SoftBank is not going to do anything but 'warn' the partners. If the parnters believe in their own koolaid ... (hey, we are 'world class investors, look how much money we raised') it's an easy trap for them to fall into.

Paradoxically - even just being a 'true series D/E fund before IPO' is a really great concept, they should stick to it. WeWork, Uber etc are actually good investments if managed properly. If they reigned in Adam at WW it might have worked out better.
