Which one(s) would qualify:
In Full Metal Alchemist(Brotherhood and Manga), Shou Tucker and his family were in danger of being in poverty, his solution: Turn first his wife and then his dog and daughter into pained chimeras, just for the sake of him being an alchemist, a job he's no good at and expected it to be acceptable, it's sickening, needless to say.
Mephiles sent Silver to the past, not to help him(Silver) stop Iblis from destroying the world but use him(Silver) to break Iblis's seal so that they(Meph and Ib) can reform into Solaris and consume all the time in existence.
TMNT(1987): In the episode "Dirk Savage", A.J. Howard hires the eponymous mutant hunter to capture mutants claiming them to be a menace to society with no regard to them being good or evil. However, not only is Howard a mutant himself, he plans to build an army of brainwashed mutants in hopes of mutating and controlling the entire human race, this leads to Don and Raph stopping a vengeful Rahzar from killing Dirk in order to convince him to turn against Howard.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies: Aristotle Means, as to quote this page: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/TheReasonYouSuckSpeech/VisualNovels
"Athena gives one to Aristotle Means, saying that for all his claims of having good intentions, (namely, teaching students how to effectively defend their clients in the dark age of the law), he's nothing more than a hypocrite, given his trying to ensure that Juniper gets convicted for murder. The point is driven home even further when it later turns out that Means killed Constance Courte when she found out he was taking bribes.
• Athena: They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions, but not yours! You never had good intentions, only lies to protect yourself with while blaming another. You, professor, are the embodiment of the dark age of the law!"
