Maybe you need to explain how his fraudulent loans hurt others by depriving them of the ability to borrow and how it hurt shareholders because he got lower rates than his risk required, thus dampening profits for them.

All the small contractors he stiffed, because he really wasn't as rich as said, would not agree. And the banks often got pennies on the dollar return on his loans, writing off thousands, if not millions over the decades.
