The Japanese ceo sorta did….granted, he wasn't a villain but I wouldn't be surprised if there is a version of the script where he is.

Read the book about the newspaper "the exile". The Americans were eventually corrupted and went hog wild like a new vampire.

He's too old and rich for that

He's that super speed run guy bragging about his latest speed run around the water cooler. He's already the villain.

I'm guessing the lease on the deadwood set was running out or everybody pinched the good props/clothes from the boardwalk empire set.
