That seems like rather small potatoes, I must say.
I like the idea of weaving a web of flattery, of lies and deceit, and feigning friendship - all the while leading the target toward ultimate betrayal, ruin, and destruction. The evil would be more pure if it were done simply for the joy of the act; doing so for gain reduces the entire matter to one of grubby avarice.
It would be better if the target did not even know the actual source of the betrayal, and continued to trust - never knowing that the smiling fellow he thought was a friend had done it all purely for the fun of it.
But that's just fiction. I wouldn't know anything of such matters. Mahatma Jack has quite a ring to it, doesn't it?
