To trust wild rumors about a single man that somehow randomly broke half of all laws of the country (most criminals decide on few specific fields, like fraud of murder, not all of them) and hold them in higher esteem as the word of her OWN parents and the people, who have been with them. Amazing. Marry her off to a poor fellow with brain, but not smarts (or he'd run) and then hope they make a grandson/-daughter that is a bit cleverer (chances ain't that bad, that child will be) to take over the family business.
