start stopping with nicorette neil: during the break, charlie gasparino and i were talking about softbankbe losing his midas touch. what is going on? >> there are two major investors he wants to snare for the next vision. first vision fund was successful, invested in all the startups. put softbank on the map, particularly softbank. neil: softbank has a gazillion dollars. >> they did. based on alibaba investment. then they created this fund, this vehicle to essentially fund tech startups. they got a little trouble. it was called wework. they sunk a lot of money. thought the valuation was 45 billion. turns out with all the management problems, down to 10 billion. they had to bail it out, because it was probably going to zero if they didn't. they were doing that, essentially starting another vision fund, a second round. they went to their two largest investors, saudi arabian wealth fund, pif, and the sovereign wealth fund of abu dhabi. i will never say the name right. i think it is called -- mudabla. i'm pretty sure i screwed that up. in i any event they are balking at investment. they were

charlie gasparino, here to explain. >> thanks for having me back. the trial should be set, settled.n state ags. they're challenging the t-mobile merger with sprint. they're saying it is leading to anti-competitive behavior, eliminates, by merging two eliminates a major carrier. charlie ergen as part of the deal, how it got through the u.s. department of antitrust i will create a fourth wireless carrier. neil: he has to do that? >> he has to do that. this is why i think the thing could be settled today for all intents and purposes. if he convinces the judge, victor moreno, it's a judge, not jury trial he will be really a competitive fourth player, has a timetable, from day one, what lydia moynihan, my producer, her sources are saying will try to emphasize that, day one, dish will be a competitive force in the wireless business, if he can convince more rain know of this, he is convincing guy, also a very volatile guy. neil: eccentric. >> eccentric but poker player. he is known to walk away from deals at the last minute, but if he can sell this to the judge, t-mobile-sprint feels they
