I think you could consider WeWork worse than Thernanos in many ways. Far more people understood what was going on at the highest level, and when all was said and done Elizabeth Holmes walked away with nothing but criminal prosecution. Both screwed their investors, arguably Thernanos did worse, but investors prepare for potentially big losses.
The employees on the other hand are all screwed: at Thernanos Holmes was the most screwed given the potential jail time, but at WeWork Neumann is walking away with over a billion, which is sort of like spitting on your employees.
WeWork (Neumann) preached about the 'We Generation' and 'elevating the world to a new consciousness,' but really his actions were traitorous against the people who made him. Thernanos never claimed the moral high ground, nor did the leader get off like a bandit.
