2019 was a disaster for SoftBank Group and its founder-CEO Masayoshi Son that goes beyond its shocking $6.4 billion loss in the third quarter alone. More serious were signs of trouble from a broad range of companies SoftBank's affiliated Vision Fund has invested in; these have badly damaged Son's golden reputation. 2020 will tell whether the damage can be repaired.
