Infamous because, while I hate to admit it, my English isn't perfect :-}

For some reason I was convinced that the word could be used with a
connotation of respect for outstanding achievements and bravado
bordering (or beyond) the illegal - possibly because the German
equivalent, "berüchtigt", can sometimes be used in this sense
(especially in the combination "berühmt-berüchtigt").

Strike that, and insert "badass" instead.
