problem: Sons of Malice were once a space marine chapter declared traitors by an inquisitor.

both space marin chapter structure and the inquisition are post horus heresy things, whereas the missing legions were lost pre heresy.

Yeah, but waht if the imperium change the dates to make it sound less suspicious then it would still be a fan theory that is not based on facts already given in the canon sources.

Deliverance Lost states that Primarch number 19 (corax) only has 17 brothers (okay twin nature of Alpharius/Omegon is not known)

Fear to Tread states that Sanguiinius does not want his Legion annihilated just like those of 2 brothers.

We could talk about mentions of that in First Heretic, the unrememkbered Empire, the "the primarchs" anthology and so on and so forth.

We could also debate the logic of your claims further. Sons of Malice are a chapter, at tops a little over 1000 astatrtes, they are rumored to be of the astartes praeses, aka a group of chapters from loyal origins guarding the eye of terror.

If the sons of malice were indeed a legion, they, like 8 other parent legions would have been split up or be mentioned in tons of canon material. They'd also have appeared in all writings dealing with the Heresy as we would have to have a 10th loyal Legion.

I could go on but meh.. your theory is simply in no way supportable by the sources and hence dismissable.
