I don't know about making the wearer a villain. You would also have to have a black stove pipe hat, black coat, and very long mustaches to twist and you mocked your victims after having them tied to the railroad tracks or evicted from their homes.

Which at least answers the question about the Thieves' Argot lacking a written form. The Lens of Silent Oral Villainous Translation can just translate the title cards that appear periodically whenever thieves are conversing.
