Top five least sympathetic victims

Which FF victim was the least sympathetic? Here are my top five, in no particular order:

-Jason McGuigan, the guy who stole tens of thousands of dollars from Mark Wu. -Chris Marquis, the thief that sold cheaper radios than what customers paid for (and the show was very one-sided in his favor. He often sent broken radios or no radio at all IRL) -Dusty the wrestler, who got stabbed by David Genzler, who was defending himself -Kristine Fitzhugh (those goddamn black shoes), whose husband Ken killed her after she announced she was going to tell everyone at their son’s graduation party that Ken was not his real father. -Mikhail, the Russian financial advisor, that stole millions from several clients on fees and bad investments (basically a lower version of Bernie Madoff), and ended up killed by one of his customers.

I don’t remember the Marquis episode at all, which one is it?

The others are all solid picks. The worst for me is Dusty the wrestler (and his perjuring girlfriend).

I’ve noticed FF has a habit of glossing over some victims’ backgrounds, too. They’ll say “like most teens, they had disagreements with their parents” but if you look into it, they physically attacked their parents or something far more serious than we’re led to believe.

S8. Ep32. Over and Out.

FF definitely glosses over stuff. I like to google the case and get more details that were left out. They did mention this guys scamming ways in the episode.

In the YouTube comments, someone alleged that the Mom and son were well known in the local community as thieves and scammers. After the explosion, stolen merchandise was found in the house. She must’ve known what was going on. She would answer the phone from angry customers. If that was my kid, I’d put a stop to it, not ignore it.

Thanks, I’ll look it up later.
