Well, from what data has been recorded about the Huntha Lami Muuaji, the males seem to be the more dangerous counterpart. That seemed to be true as well in the last episode, with Linus being the one who did the "dirty work", as Hank put it, and Stacy being the cover. Stacy said it too though, what they did to make the con work wouldn't be possible without Stacy, so she's dangerous as well, although in a bit more cunning, sneaky kinda way.

Honestly, I think the sympathy towards Linus is just a confirmation of how great the actor Mark Famiglietti portrayed that character at the end of the episode. Maybe that line, "Haven't you done enough?" stuck a chord with a lot of people.

In his mind, nobody was supposed to get hurt, so what he was doing with Stacy probably seemed harmless, but I wouldn't call robbing and conning people exactly "harmless", especially when they were so brazen to keep up the con immediately after they'd just killed a guy. Because Linus was the one who had the extensive criminal record, Nick had no other option really than to do what he did. Stacy might be dangerous too, but she wasn't the one with the huge rap sheet.
