NEW YORK (AP) — Adam Neumann, the ousted co-founder of WeWork, is exploring a deal to buy back the office sharing company after expressing dismay over its bankruptcy process.

In a Monday letter obtained by The Associated Press, an attorney representing Neumann and Flow Global Holdings said that WeWork's former CEO had partnered up with capital sources like Dan Loeb’s Third Point and “stands ready to submit a detailed proposal to purchase the Company or its assets."

WeWork filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November, just months after sounding the alarm on its ability to stay in business — as the company pointed to increased member churn, financial losses and mounting needs to cut back on its real estate portfolio.

According to Monday's letter, Neumann and his affiliates have been attempting to obtain information from WeWork necessary for a purchase offer since December but have been met with a “lack of engagement” from the company. They still do not have access.
