Unfortunately, This scammer 'Adam Neumann' hasn't failed and still was able to exit out of WeWork with a ton of money. So he is not entirely a failed scammer and was able to get away with it and try again.

An actual failed scammer is Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos.

I guess a distinction between a "successful" scammer (Adam Neumann) and an "unsuccessful" scammer (Elizabeth Holmes). Scammers alike but I guess different post-scam collapse treatment by the investment community. Makes you wonder about a lot of things.
