The Financial Times reports that Japanese investment company SoftBank paid $1.5bn to the creditors of coworking space provider WeWork in the days before the firm was forced to file for bankruptcy earlier this week. The paper says the payment takes the total that SoftBank has committed to WeWork to more than $16bn since an initial investment in 2017, a move it says has proved “one of the worst venture capital investments in history”.
