Intriguing. Historically things tend to go the other way, ie people may be remembered more for good(or possibly just impressive) deeds. Oscar Wilde has been forgiven his little boys. The sculptures of Eric Gill are still admired and displayed,in spite of his spectacularly irregular domestic arrangementrs. Henry V murdered countless children in the most repulsive way, but the play about his stirring deeds is regularly performed. Examples could be multiplied endlessly.
