Yep agree @Twentytwentyhindsight, Wig and Sleaze are highly entertaining right up until the point one remembers just how many people have lost what little they've have to this pair.
The thing that is most entertaining about Sleaze is his oily confidence which comes from being such a Poundland Mr Big that no one is too worried about dealing with him, so he has the confidence of someone who is pretty sure he'll get away with it, but that doesn't help his victims.
I'll never forgot one woman saying that she had lost her home as a direct result of trusting W&S. The people they target are the same people who don't really have a voice. I remember talking to someone who had been caught in a scam of the kind W&S are involved with. He worked all his life in a manual job that he could no longer do because of a serious heart condition, so went in search of a way to make money and was beguiled by the promises of some scheme or other.
When his financial 'saviours' were no longer taking his calls and they'd taken all his money he tried to get support and to warn others. He found there was no one who would take him seriously because he was seen as complicit in his own downfall for something that was considered an "obvious" scam which he'd chosen, it wasn't like they'd nicked his wallet. He was also a working class man covered in some scary looking tattoos and had some learning difficulties, which meant explaining what had happened to him and managing immediate assumptions about his character was hard. In the end he was taking out loans to try and manage the hole in his finances. This lead to him making an attempt on his life and that's how I ended up talking to him.
He could easily represent the sort of person W&S target with outcomes we rarely hear about and sadly I wouldn't be surprised if there are some tragedies among Wig and Sleaze's victims.
