(From A Guide to Dante's 9 Circles of Hell)

The Seventh - Violence: This is the first circle to be further segmented into sub-circles or rings. There are three of them—the Outer, Middle, and Inner rings—housing different types of violent criminals. The first are those who were violent against people and property, such as Attila the Hun. Centaurs guard this Outer Ring and shoot its inhabitants with arrows. The Middle Ring consists of those who commit violence against themselves (suicide). These sinners are perpetually eaten by Harpies. The Inner Ring is made up of the blasphemers, or those who are violent against God and nature. One of these sinners is Brunetto Latini, a sodomite, who was Dante’s own mentor

Or they may go to the Ninth Circle reserved for frauds, as these people ARE selling ruination as a better way of life for self-gratification or enrichment.

Which is merciful for beings I think deserve utter obliteration.

Interesting. Thanks.

Inner Seventh and Ninth both make sense for these creeps.
