There's a new theory that Adam Neumann will buy back WeWork

Speculation is circulating that WeWork founder Adam Neumann may consider buying back the company after it filed for bankruptcy.

Neumann, who left WeWork with substantial wealth, has not officially commented on the matter. Observers note his expressed disappointment from the sidelines and his belief in WeWork's potential reorganization. The situation remains speculative amid the company's bankruptcy proceedings.
