this corporate car crash of a sense of we work and what this unsettled board of investors that they read on the profile that they successfully pushed to remove the supposedly visionary c.e.o. in terms of his personal quirks but also his business irregularities such as a felling the word we need to the company for $6000000.00. yeah i think that's that's really what it comes down to look every one of these c.e.o.'s who's running the kind of new age companies if you want to call we work a tech company really is that it's a real estate company but you know i think we need every you look at these c.e.o.'s and they're young and they're visionary people don't really have too much of a problem with that they are some strange characters and we can talk about that few minutes but i think the thing that really did add a new minute is the fact that quite candidly the fact that he created essentially an l.l.c. which is what we company was as an umbrella company and then he licensed to we were the right to use the word we for $6000000.00 as you just said i mean that kind.

business practice it works when you're not an i.p.o. you can do that stuff because you can get around tax law and there's ways to to make money off of that but when you decide you want to enter the realm of an i.p.o. and have an initial public offering you want to open up your books to everyone else when the rest of the world looks at it they seem like a big scam or oh you're shifty money from over here to over here you're personally benefiting from it and why would i as an investor one of my money into that kind of a system so i think that ultimately is what did it meant and bend the comparison that cries out here is perhaps travis kalanick of goober boob are obviously in there they made it there but not without major drama what are the parallels between this we were case and case and what does this apparent repeat of this cycle suggest about the cutting edge accomplice culture in 2019. well i think there's some big differences between what happened with travis and what's happening with adam and largely because again look travis was also a very visionary person there's no question about it he still lives and since he's

left it where he has started up a venture fund where he's still investing in 2 big idea companies he says profits and for profit and nonprofit companies but again the difference here is you had in travis kind of this reputation of being a bro right he had this reputation of somebody who was very kind of loose with the way he talked to people the sexual harassment within his company was that he was going to create an escort services on the company dime so you have all these these personal issues that he was dealing with during the i.p.o. what i think that's why the i.p.o. ultimately was successful because one person's personal issues is one thing but is the company's solid is it able to survive that's why you brought it obviously it is a solid company we work is not necessarily a solid company because as we open up those books at newman aside if you take a look at what we work is doing they're not making money the easy almost appears as

if they have an unsustainable business model in terms of of the amount of money they're paying in rent the fact that for every dollar they're bringing in they're losing $2.00 and so a lot of investors also look at that and said well we don't really have a lot of confidence that necessarily the company's going to survive because if we had a recession already on the hook for long term leases that we can't turn around and sell for short term so that's i think the concern there so it's different in terms of that but in terms of adam and travis you have 2 characters and they really are characters who are extremely eccentric in very different ways and whether or not the public can trust them or not i think it comes down to investors say i don't want to trust that guy with my money kind of got booted before they even when i pm been invited to r.t. so we also have to manage in. before we go perhaps the archetype of this corporate character. and he famously made up a farm south of the f.c.c. with a suspected pot related tweet about a possible i.p.o. and then unsettled investors by smoking marijuana on camera in a podcast and so this isn't exactly

a boys' club let's also mention elizabeth homes and her fantastic claims up blood test so it seems that there is a link between these fantastical business aspirations sending humans to mars or revolutionizing medicines with a blood test so what are all these people what do you think of the behavior of all of these eccentric. characters will look i think when it comes to if you are a person who is so visionary that you can look at the world as it is and you can see something different it takes a visionary person to be able to do that you love lust no question is that person no question that that travis was that person as well because i was looking at the world and say there's a different better way to do this and he was right about that steve jobs is one of those people visionary person who looked at the world and saw a different way doesn't mean they're all good people it doesn't mean that you necessarily want to have a personal relationship with them but they're brilliant people and the line between being a genius and being insane is pretty thin but i think what's important for people to

remember here is that just because someone is a visionary and has great vision does not necessarily mean that they're able to run a successful business and that's what we're seeing with a lot of these inflated i.p.o.'s is that it's a great idea and it does well but maybe the person who has that visionary idea is not the same one to carry it through you know the line between genius and insanity word you find it bends one investigative journalist and cryptocurrency analyst thanks so much for in. time for a quick break but hang here because while we were tank fresh off of an ongoing legal battle over libra facebook is back in the hot seat courtesy of the audio file their plans for antitrust legislation international regulatory edwards is on hand to give us a legal view on what could be in store for a tech giant. as we go to break here the number that the.

odd link to audio published by popular tech news site the verge and is mr zucker briggs response to proposals from presidential candidate and senator warner elizabeth warren to break up big tech like it was before because of the right answer to break up with somebody you know i mean she is a lobbyist for the other ways so we will have a legal challenge in our that we will waive the legal so. basically. i mean i. have a mediator was in our own government i'm not sure you want to know when you're. we care about what work with our government. but look at it in the day some of them try some of the really good bye and here to give us his expert perspective on this and so many other big regulatory issues affecting the global economy we're glad to

welcome back international regulatory attorney miles edwards now miles mr zucker berg frames the idea of breaking up big companies here in this section of the recording as sort of the push to regulate as a force opposite to what he calls the rule of law i.e. facebook continuing to do whatever it wants to do what's your take on his basic framing of the regulatory and public interest issues here. well i think in some ways he's absolutely correct because elise in the united states there's really only a few mechanisms in place in which you could break up an entity like facebook. i've spoken before on the show about is it a monopoly and so they would have to prove that they were extraordinarily competitive in their nature they colluded with others and they basically shut out all other social media type platforms it's absolutely surprising to me that at

least here in the united states an entity is largest facebook is really not under any regulations at all and even though mr berg has been in front of congress on more than one occasion we don't have a cohesive way to regulate and many of the proposed legislation in congress has never really gotten that far to do it so i think that if you were to ask me the dynamic and the favor is absolutely for facebook and against warren in the united states so mr as our coverage size and as media regarding senator warren and the rest of our plans that and he got to like a president that i would bet that we would have a legal challenge and i bet that we will win so you would bet would you bet against facebook and that's an area. well i think i would bet for facebook because i've never seen warren's plan for life after facebook and so there's

really only 2 options war and has one is to create this regulatory environment where they are going to be regulated like any other type of. entity out there here in the united states or 2 like we saw in their early 1980 s. like with a t. and t. and bell is to break it up and so both scenarios face a lot of challenges i hear a lot of rhetoric from senator warren but i'm not seeing a cohesive plan that would be regulated or legislated or maybe even decouple the advertising compose. it from the social media component so i guess i'm at a loss 'd because i haven't seen anything propose that i would be that i would consider to be viable. interesting and also checking in on one of the biggest recent regulatory scandals in the us there is the abuse and addiction opioid crisis here

in the united states the inspector general the internal watchdog at the drug enforcement administration has sanctioned or has criticized for allowing the limit on opioid production to rise to meet the dramatically growing demand after x. oxycontin was to unleashed on the market by f.d.a. regulators and this is something many people may not know that a fundamental factor in this crisis was the da actually raising the limit on how many of these legal corporate opioids could be legally manufactured tell us about the i.g. spawning and what are the implications here for the ongoing lawsuits regarding opioids absolutely so oxy cotton like many other prescription painkillers in our cottage are considered controlled substances and as such the regulation of them and the enforcement of their abuse falls within the so the da had a situation whereby they could control the production of oxy cotton they chose not

to in fact they did the exact opposite and increase the production some of that was based upon lobbying and some of them was based on the compelling interest of people who were suffering from certain illnesses needed pain medication and so what happened is that. the market to be flooded with oxy cotton but one thing that people don't really recognize is that it's not necessarily your abuse problem as much as it is a prescription problem and the fact that the d.a. only recently started to look at doctors who are over prescribing these medications and what they should have done when they increased the production. to increase the production of oxycontin is also to take a look at those doctors or those institutions that were prescribing oxycontin heavily and start to look at what their protocols were in place as far as how they would allow these drugs should be prescribed they failed to do that so it was

really the worst case scenario as far as litigation is concerned we have seen litigation against the manufacturer of oxy cotton and we may also see some litigation against those institutions that perhaps overprescribed it but the da was certainly complicit to a degree. in the opium oil crisis itself right and in a previous career i was very shocked to discover that but at the core of this is the essential he says you can make a certain amount of these drugs and it's not as if we had a sudden epidemic of painful cancer cases in this country that necessitated this dramatic expansion. and as opposed to their regulation of illicit drugs as opposed to illegal corporate narcotics they always say with regard to say marijuana or cocaine that if there is more of it more people will use it they made the opposite argument in this case. yeah correct and what they should have done is again look at

who is prescribe being it's a prescription epidemic and also to drill down deep and speak to these docs and then to see if there was alternative ways to alleviate the pain other than oxy cotton itself and so it's really an educational effort but it's also letting the prescribers know that there is oversight and it's really only been recently that there has been any perceived level of oversight for those who are really the individuals who are prescribing these types of medications now that's my . of on to fannie mae and freddie mac. we've touched on this before and the question is how do we launch these core institutions of the u.s. housing market as profit making and there are growing concerns right now that the trump treasury department has announced that they will allow fannie and freddie to keep more of their profits so walk us through this new policy and what this means for the housing finance department and the u.s.

. well what it's going to mean is that there's going to be more i believe a perceived difficulty in the financial market with the obligations pertaining to freddie mae and fannie mack and the situation is they also issue bonds they also issue other types of securities which are bought by large institutions and investors and they've always enjoyed a certain guarantee by the fact that they were issued by. a federal agency or a federal agency that was at least implicitly associated with the government when you start removing that privatizing it then what's going to happen is the rating agencies such as moody's and s. and p. will come in and basically rate these obligations based on their overall credit worthiness and if we see a decline in that then we're going to see a decline in their overall value and also how interested investors are in it and

that may have an impact on those organizations which will trickle down on to as i've spoke about before the ability for consumers known only to get mortgages but also enjoy a wide variety of mortgages with different terms so it's fraught with a little bit of hazard it's which i don't think has been perceived yet and probably will only be perceived once everything goes through completely right always fascinating international regulatory attorney miles edwards thanks so much for joining us. thank you. october 1st marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the people's republic a massive celebration shutdown kamma kuantan where the parade told the story of the founding of china in 3 chapters the founding of the country reforming and opening and now finally the great renaissance the celebration came as the finale it with 70000 pigeons and 70000 balloons were released to symbolize peace and joy the
