Fan of wework here. As a longtime happy customer I do not believe they belong in a list of fraudulent companies.

They still enable me to walk into any major city and have a nice office to work out of and I appreciate them for that. They changed the real estate game for startups and solopreneurs and should be commended for this!

Yeah, the wework hate is getting a bit out of hand. They (well, co-working spaces) added uniformity, predictability, and an international footprint to a legacy business of renting office space.

Right, there was no "fraud" at WeWork in the legal sense. All of the pillaging of investor capital was properly disclosed and didn't break any laws.

They bet big and they were wrong. It happens
