Glen Elg

Glen Elg was a skilled computer programmer working for Blue Screens, Inc. He was killed after problems with repayment arrangements with a loan shark.

Background
Elg had a big gambling problem that led him to borrow $50,000 from loan shark Furio Tigre at Tender Lender. Due to the exceedingly large interest rates at Tender Lender, the debt soon ballooned to $100,000. Elg agreed to meet Tigre on Dec. 3, 2019 at Trés Bien, and to program a powerful computer virus to use as collateral. However, Tigre had a debt of his own that amounted to $1 million. He counted on Elg to be unable to pay his debt and give him the virus, which would fetch several million dollars on the black market.

At the meeting, Elg miraculously won $500,000 in a lottery. Desperate for the virus, Tigre killed him and then set up a fake murder that was almost identical to the real murder. Then, posing as Phoenix Wright, he offered to defend suspect Maggey Byrde in court and put up what has frequently been reported as one of the worst defenses seen in years.

One month later, the real Wright found out about his imposter and appealed the case. He won by proving that Tigre was the real killer.
