Aleph you said
Michael Pak just did not strike me as a dangerous person. He seemed kind of harmless and nerdy. He's not wound tightly like someone full of rage. He struck me as a basically harmless person trying to navigate the immigrant community, some of it legal, some of it less so, but a blend of the two. Hence "are you trying to set me up?" I know he has done some shady things (like illegally bringing the woman from China into the country -- it sounds bad, but he may have had valid reasons or perhaps feelings of obligation toward someone) but he did not strike me as someone who would hurt Shannan unless he was in a situation where he somehow believed it was unavoidable.
Ah yes the poor ethnic boy, just trying to get his share of the American Dream. Really quite a nice fellow....NOT!!!
The criminal record, the prison term, the involvement in the sex-trade, a likely involvement in drugs, no visible means of legal income, all point to something very malicious.
MOO
