Is bad person still bad if they use no one?
Yes.
Is an enabler of bad behaviors a bad person.
Yes.
So which is worse?
Both are bad no matter what.
Yet you want culpability?
So how many times did the enabler do this, with how many bad people? 🤷🏻♂
The head of a gang would be such a person. And as such can be charged with racketeering on top of the original crime(s).

What Is Racketeering?
The term racketeering broadly refers to criminal acts, typically those involving extortion, that involve a "racket". A racket, being some sort of scheme organized to extract illegal profits. It is usually used in reference to patterns of illegal activity specified in the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). This is a U.S. federal law that makes it illegal to acquire or control a business through certain crimes or income from those crimes. It is also illegal to participate, even indirectly, in certain crimes committed by a business or to conspire to do any of the above under the act.
The list of federal crimes specified in RICO includes bribery, fraud, gambling offenses, money laundering, financial and economic crimes, obstructing justice or a criminal investigation, and murder for hire. At the state level, racketeering can include crimes such as murder, kidnapping, gambling, arson, robbery, bribery, extortion, dealing in obscene matters, and drug crimes, as long as they align with the "generic definition of the state offense referenced at the time RICO was enacted."
