Masayoshi Son's latest SoftBank presentation shows wild optimism for WeWork's turnaround
The Japanese magnate and investor hasn't disappointed with his latest set of slides.
In a financial presentation for SoftBank's July-to-September quarter on Wednesday, Son directly acknowledged the financial damage wrought by his firm's multi-billion dollar bet on office-sharing firm WeWork, describing it as the "WeWork problem." SoftBank's financials indicated that its combined loss on the value of its WeWork shares came to $8.2 billion.

The firm cancelled its IPO, and Neumann stepped down as CEO. SoftBank took control of the firm in October in a $9.5 billion rescue package.Here are the key slides.
