Adam Neumann is still getting huge financing. There is always a way to keep hustling.

... for now. As interest rates stay above stupidly-low levels, he's not going to be able to pull the capital he used to.

Haha, I was actually referring to being a US fugitive as the miserable life, which Zhao obviously wants to avoid.

Zhao can do new things with his billions. He can start new companies, work in new markets if he wants. If he can escape China's clutches with his money, I assume he can travel the world.

I think he's relieved that he won't get lifetime prison, and even years in prison.

Living at the top, to having no freedom must be very, very hard to stomach. I would take the deal too if I was CZ.

Giving up some "power-grab addiction" for 100% freedom (and being a billionaire still), seems very good for him.
