Since an "Evil Genius" needs a lot of funds to even start up their villainy, I thought it would be funny to imply that the MC invented NFTs and scammed a bunch of money that they ran away with before the NFTs imploded. Unfortunately that means that all the NFT bros will hate the story and everyone who hates NFTs will also hate the story. ...Which is like 90% of the world.
NFTs are more amusing than cryptocurrencies, because of how utterly worthless invention they are. I got the idea of doing like a teenage (19YO) genius who focuses on manipulating people and therefore creating, hyping up to massive proportions and then running away from the imploding market with the cash he made, would be a funny idea and suit the way NFTs...
...went from "every arrogant tech bro is talking about them" to "oh look, it's worthless" so quickly. Have the villain harp on and on about how much they accomplished ina short time and then use these goods to start designing and building a mind control device to start their harem of mind slaves and worker drones.
Ah, yes, if that's your goal, then someone who's very obviously a scammer probably works better than someone who's merely debatably one.
I like what you're setting up here! Someone who insists they're doing Good, but who in reality is only after fulfilling their own twisted fantasies. Throw in a bit of unreliable narration and you're off to the races.
The idea was to go for the humour / mind control themes and have a young main character (insufferable teen genious type) who starts to build their criminal empire. Maybe some mishaps with mind control chemicals or devices, maybe have some fun with how the MC converts the women he lusted for into his sex slaves but then he is the one who is inexperienced and doesn't know what to actually do other than imitate porn.
