I’ll be blunt: if a large bank is stupid enough to invest money in a company that’s basically vaporware, and they invest because they were far too lazy to do any real due diligence, that’s on the bank.
Just to clarify, SoftBank is not a bank.
Yeah, they make Link Amps
Just to clarify: a “commercial bank” is like Bank of America, or Wells Fargo.
An “investment bank” is like… Softbank. They pool money together of the rich and they all make massive bets on companies with their pooled money.
It’s never a bad day when tech VCs lose money
