People still take Adam Neumann seriously?

  for me there is a world of difference between him and someone like Elizabeth Holmes. Holmes committed crimes and put people's health in danger. Adam was just very good a playing the VC game.

    > Adam was just very good at playing the VC game. And he is still playing that game! If in five years we all discover he turned this into a giant nepotistic money-losing dumpster fire and left his VC firm holding the bag while he got a cool $1B exit package, no one has a right to be mad.

      to be fair, the $350 million a16z put in is secured by the 4,000 multi family apartment buildings he owns. i.e. he transferred the deeds from his own company to this joint thing owned by him and a16z in order to get the 350.

    Adam AND his wife are both unethical people bordering on fraud. I wouldn't buy or believe anything he says. He has still not taken responsibility for We Work, his part in its decline, and what appeared to be massive financial impropriety. Adam is a C-suite grifter, plain and simple.
