“One of the greatest hoaxes”? Because they turned his story into a film? Seems like a pretty insignificant hoax compared to the likes of Madoff, Adam Neumann or Theranos.
- OmarShehata 6y agoThis seems like a pretty big hoax if you made an entire career out if appearing on national TV and giving talks at places like Google for life experiences you completely made up.

- pembrook 6y agoNeumann, while being a slippery self-dealer, certainly doesn’t belong in the same sentence as Madoff and Theranos. Building a real, albeit overvalued company isn’t the same as running a massive fraud from first principles. WeWork’s model for scalable cloud office space is now basically the default, and post-pandemic they are already selling seats to corporates like gangbusters.
- Grustaf 5y agoYou’re right, WeWork is not a hoax. But it’s a coup!
