SoftBank's bailout package of WeWork in October valued the startup at about $8 billion -- a far cry from the $47 billion SoftBank valued WeWork at in January 2019. SoftBank founder and CEO Masayoshi Son has publicly said trusting WeWork founder Adam Neumann with more than $10 billion in funding money was a mistake. Son lost faith in Neumann in September and helped force his ouster as CEO, and the company suspended its plans to go public. WeWork's near-term outlook is fraught as global quarantines rock commercial real estate companies like WeWork.
