Isn't the money coming - if it comes - from SoftBank? Would it be better for the common folk if they kept it?

Better for our pension funds, yes. The stock price of SoftBank has halved in value over this event. I'm expected to fund my old age using stocks.

The stock price halved because WeWork failed, regardless of his payout.

The money doesn't come from thin air. If SoftBank paid it out, the shareholders lose out even more so.
