[Sherlock Holmes] Why is Moriarty "the Napoleon of crime"?

That is, what similarities are there between him and Napoleon Bonaparte?

If we had to substitute a modern figure, who would it be—Bin Laden? Kanye West? Linus Torvalds?

In 19th century Britain, Napoleon was popularly characterised as a brilliant man who terrorised all of Europe. Which is accurate, as far as it goes, and applies quite nicely to Moriarty - the criminal mastermind whose schemes spread across all of Europe.

These days a more likely comparison would be, as you suggest, Linus Torvalds or Mark Zuckerberg - a brilliant man with influence everywhere, his tendrils reaching around the globe.
