Deep dives
Adam Newman's Attempt to Buy Back WeWork
Adam Newman, the disgraced founder of WeWork, is attempting to buy back the bankrupt company. With a net worth of $2 billion, Adam Newman aims to resurrect his own reputation and his old company. While WeWork has been ignoring his phone calls, if Newman's offer is the best one, they may have no choice but to go back to him, resulting in a surprising failing-up scenario.
Silicon Valley's Football Strategy: The 49ers' Squishing Offense
The San Francisco 49ers' success in reaching the Super Bowl is attributed to their unique squishing offense. While most teams spread out their players, the 49ers opt for a close formation, which has proven unpredictable and difficult for defenses to handle. The team's data-driven strategy goes against the trend of spreading out players and has become a winning formula.
FTX Bankruptcy: Possible Repayment for Victims
Victims of the FTX bankruptcy may actually get fully repaid due to a fortunate turn of events. The rally in Bitcoin's price and a random investment made by FTX's founder Sam Bankman-Fried have led to potential gains for the victims. This unexpected luck may result in the victims receiving their money back, except for the venture capitalists who took equity in FTX.
The 49ers are in the Super Bowl again thanks to one data-driven strategy — But this isn’t a football story, it’s a business story (and it’s inspired by the artist Renoir).

And FTX is shockingly planning to refund all its customers all their lost $$$ — And it highlights the beautiful waterfall of bankruptcy.
