  • One suggestion: Add the date of TV interviews and other video snippets to make some things a bit clearer.
  • @barfymann362
    Softbank Logic: "You're charismatic, here take my money!"
  • What I' ve learned form Wirecard and Theranos: If a CEO thinks he/she is the next Steve Jobs, he/she is probably quite the opposite
  • @dylanblomme4679
    I can only imagine how amazing his neighbors felt after the man that was “going to buy your apartments” went bankrupt lmao
  • Journalist: "So wtf is going on with wirecard?" CEO: "Uh we are very much like innovation"
  • @SOFTWAREMASTER
    I am a CEO of a company and I wear Steve Jobs like clothes... Soft Bank: Say no more fam!!
  • "how one man fooled all of Germany"... well, not the 1st time that happens.
  • @tie_6583
    Very good point, this company was audited for 8 years in a row by big 4 firms and the found nothing. Makes me question their competence.
  • @AmmarTaicho
    Softbank: Oh, you wear Steve Jobs clothes (turtleneck)... take a billion.
  • @erik-001-
    If the CEO of a company dresses like Steve Jobs they immediately should be investigated
  • @RAZR_Channel
    Whenever I hear someone called a "Genius" or "Visionary"... I'm like : Ok we'll see about that...
  • @CassieGlitter
    scam company: im a "tech" company Softbank: ok here's 10 billion dollars
  • @saltylad2107
    "Machine learning" i.e. Excel spreadsheet. lmao
  • @PbVeritas
    In case you did not know: Braun isnt german, he is austrian... Seems like Austria has a habit of stirring up Germany
  • @TESkyrimizer
    Financial times: "So why did you list a fake branch office in the Phillipines?" Wirecard: "something something ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE" Softbank: "sounds like a solid deal to me"
  • @mvmv-pn8zt
    It’s amazing how often all these smart people in the finance industry fail to spot crooks.
  • @iamdmc
    Good rule of thumb: if softbank invests in it, sell.
  • @Jackisaboss1208
    Worked for Bosch when the Dieselgate scandal hit. Currently working for the EY Assurance business, I swear these scandals follow me
  • @tanya292
    At this point I’m surprised SoftBank didn’t invest in theranos
  • @ivormonaco
    I'm impressed at how slick and professional this channel is. Its reports are as good as anything I've seen on the best known international TV stations. Congratulations!
