    By investing he probably means making loans available... no way they are going to almost double in size in US... Softbank's market cap is about 65bln USD.

    Or they meant 50bln Yen.... hahaaa

    It's a private equity fund run by SoftBank that will make an investment. Likely they will buy t-mobile which might have 50,000 jobs. Clearly it's crony capitalism. Trump claims a win, and SoftBank gets to merge t-mobile and sprint to continue the consolidation trend in wireless.

    I doubt that @GloriaBrown ... but if it does, that's capitalism. That's why communism doesn't work and capitalism in essence does... efficiency...
