A fraud. If life is meaningless, so is death. And so is murder.
Sartre had an unrealistic excuse, that we should accept and be glad that we are nothing but worms. It's like a football coach saying, "I know you people can't possibly win this game, but go out there and see how much you can lower the margin of your defeat." Humans don't react to existentialism in a positive manner, it just leads to fascism as a reaction.
