WeWork takes this much further than other SV companies. In their S-1 filing, they had to disclose something like 100+ related party transactions: https://www.forbes.com/sites/alapshah/2019/08/19/just-how-un...

Wow, those filings make it seem like the founder was using WeWork as his personal piggy bank. Did I understand it right that he took out a loan from WeWork then used a bonus from the company to pay it back?

He sold the company a trademark for the word "we" for $6M. It was eventually rolled back after media exposure.
