In alphabetical order by last name:
Anna Delvey Elizabeth Holmes Billy McFarland Martin Shkreli
Since Inventing Anna just debuted and The Dropout about Elizabeth Holmes is debuting next month, millennial scammers are as hot a topic as ever.
I was hesitant about including Shkreli since I figured he’d “win” easily. Although what he is most hated for was arguably just evil rather than being an outright scam. Still, I think his jail sentence with his background would qualify him as a scammer.
From reading about Shkreli and watching different things, his story can be summed up like this. He got lucky short-selling a stock (so lucky it was even investigated by the SEC). Then when he was put in a position of power he ran a Ponzi scheme. Before getting caught he hiked up the price of drugs that directly negatively effected some incredibly vulnerable populations.

1. Martin Shkreli (yes, he is the worst. he said he jacked up the drug prices because the patients would pay the same while the insurance company would make up the difference. even if that wasn't complete bullshit, in my book that's a scam.) 2. Elizabeth Holmes 3. Billy McFarland 4. Anna Delvey

Martin Shkreli just by virtue of WHAT he did.

Shkrelli and Holmes are more or less tied. Both did shit that did serious harm and with zero f***s given about the people they were exploiting.
Billy, I would put as worse than Delvey.

I would say Shkrelli by virtue of his LEGAL actions hurting people. All.of.the scamming mostly just screwed over other rich people.

The only two of those that I know of are Martin and Billy and out of those two its Martin by a landslide.

Shitlick or whatever he's called is the worst.
He'll feel better though in a couple of years when Hollywood inevitably casts an A list actor to play him in an Oscar contending movie, thus unintentionally flattering and aggrandising other twats like him and Holmes.

I’m having trouble deciding top spot between Holmes and Wu-Tang Dipshit.
I also don’t really know anything Anna Delvy.
Billy is just pretty much an adrenaline junkie getting high of his own supply. There’s less clear malice in his action compared to the other two.
