Who's the biggest crook?

My thoughts turned to the dark side of Star Trek. I began to wonder who was the biggest crook? There are the obvious front-runners like Harry Mudd and Quark. Then I put some serious thought into the subject. Eddington came to mind (he tormented Cisco). Of course Garak is the master of shady dealings. So I put the question to our community who is the biggest crook and why?

No..EA with their hand in the advent of lockboxes
Oh, star trek crooks, right...
Jokes aside, Whatshisname from the 24th century who used a timeshuttle to steal future tech

You mean "Pilfered Wallet Entertainment"?
So I'll just go with JJ Abrams.

Either or. Both work.
For taking a franchise that was about equality and making it sexist and racist
For taking series that was about mankind being better and then turns around and glorifyies smoking, drinking, and drug use. Making half the crew of Picard murderers and having Picard completely okay with it. Making Picard a doddering old man and Seven a remorseless thug who apparently forgot everything Janeway taught her.
If you mean Berlinghoff Rasmussen from the Matter of Time episode from TNG, he is from the 22nd Century and stole the time-pod from its 26th Century owner when they visited the 26th Century. He stole 24th Century technology to bring it back to the 22nd Century so he could be famous and rich.
-Lord Commander Solar Macharius
Starling had the excuse that he didn't know using the timeship would destroy the solar system, and refused to believe it when told. Rasmussen, on the other hand, had to know that stealing inventions from the future and introducing them far too early would frak the timeline.
Overall, though, I'd have to give it to Harcourt Fenton Mudd. In DSC, he sold out his fellow prisoners to the Klingons without a moment's hesitation, then used an illicit temporal-manipulation device in order to torture the crew. In TOS, we first met him when he was transporting drug-addicted slaves to a Federation mining colony; next time we saw him, he tried to use ancient alien technology to kidnap the crew of the Enterprise, abandon them on a world with no way of contacting Starfleet, and steal their ship to use as his own personal yacht.
Now, if you want to talk war criminals, the nod goes to Garak, with Sisko as a close second...
Bringing future technology to the present only fracks up the timeline for people from the future. The only issue to the present is how advanced technology will affect the present like how Friendship 1 affected a Delta Quadrant species when they reverse engineered antimatter technology which devastated their planet. So to people from the present, there is no difference between using advanced technology from the future or advanced alien technology.
