Surprised it took this long!

Ponzi scheme Hail Mary. Edit: This isn’t meant to be flippant. There is literally no value in this company and its current owners are trying to dump it on a greater fool.

Does WeWork not have a crunchbase profile page? I'm curious about who all managed to get out before the Softbank fiasco. Were employees allowed to sell shares on the secondary market, or are they all effectively hosed now?

Playing Devil's advocate imagine having potentially millions of dollars invested in tearing you apart - going through every piece on online history, video, etc., trying to find something juicy to tank the company you've tried so hard to build.

I see your point but WeWork hasn't IPO'd yet. So there are no short sellers yet.

What company? What was built? It's a money destruction machine, not a business. They have no plans or experiments or research moonshots that they expect to be profitable, ever.
