My main problem with Matt having already become the Devil would be that it'd change a lot of his story here, if we go with canon (that happens after law school, Matt knows Foggy); we could, of course, have Matt become the Devil right before Law school. But, I don't want him to be convicted for a violent crime. Theft would be better, I'm just not sure what Matt-about-to-start-LS would steal and why? Or what other crime he could commit. (It shouldn't be violent not just to highlight the system's injustice, but also because Fisk/Wesley would know what he's capable of. I want Wesley to find out later and possibly Fisk to not know at all, especially if we do have him go out as the Devil later on.)
Maybe Matt goes to an anti-slavery protest and is arrested there? Idk.
Fisk potentially agreeing to lend James 💔💔 But he would. Yes to all the pleasure slaves part (the envious manager!!).
Vanessa could directly supervise the brothel. And use whichever slaves she deems art for her expositions. (Maybe Matt and Retsuko will be involved in one of them, down the line.)
Fisk would never deny Vanessa, but I can see James redirecting any lending request to their pleasure slaves. "This slave is very busy and wouldn't be good company anyway, but I'm sure you'll find our specifically trained slaves perfectly adequate."
