I was thinking about that as I was typing them up. It's really hard to draw a line on how criminal they are, or fame vs infamy, etc.

Yeah. The serial killers are definitely infamous, but nobody normal is thinking "Boy, we could sure use someone like that again".

...but someone who goes around stealing from big banks and insurance companies while also destroying people's mortgages (so they don't have to make payments on their houses)? I'm sure some people could get behind that.

Especially with the reaction we're seeing to the murder of the health insurance company CEO. I'm sure people have been coming up with lists of other deserving CEOs.
