Donald, I think you may have meant to say “the Francis effect” and our old pal Otto Correct messed it up for you. 😁
As for the story itself, I suppose it ought to be a relief of sorts when the latest miscreant being protected by Francis is “only” a crook.
Francis is surrounded by completely unsavory (even wicked) men. You can tell a lot about a person by the company they keep.
