After Lion Air (29 Oct 2018) and Ethiopian Airlines (10 Mar 2019) crashes killed 346, the House T&I Committee's Sept 2020 final report detailed MCAS design relying on a single AOA sensor, inadequate pilot disclosure, and FAA ODA failures.

EPA’s December 2005 Consent Agreement and Final Order resolved alleged TSCA section 8(e) and RCRA failures by DuPont to submit substantial-risk information about PFOA (C8) at Washington Works—then the largest environmental administrative penalty—while Stewardship phase-outs, the court-supervised C8 Science Panel, and later Chemours PFAS settlements extended the public paper trail.

In 2014 BNP Paribas agreed to plead guilty to conspiring to violate U.S. sanctions laws by processing U.S. dollar transactions for Sudanese, Iranian, and Cuban sanctioned parties, with a multi-regulator penalty stack near $8.9 billion. DOJ, NYDFS, Federal Reserve, and OFAC papers document message-stripping clearing methods. The Archive keeps settlement admissions separate from viral atrocity captions not adjudicated in the plea.

In February 2009 KBR LLC pleaded guilty to FCPA charges over bribery schemes tied to Nigeria’s Bonny Island LNG project, paying a $402 million criminal fine, while Halliburton and KBR resolved parallel SEC cases with about $177 million in disgorgement. DOJ and SEC papers describe TSKJ joint-venture commission conduits. The Archive keeps that settlement spine separate from Iraq-era political conflation.

Enron collapsed in 2001 amid special-purpose entities and mark-to-market abuses; trials, SEC actions, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act document the fraud's mechanics and fallout.

Investigative reporting and academic analyses show Exxon scientists modeled climate risks with notable accuracy even as company public messaging sowed doubt; the gap now fuels fraud litigation and historiography of climate denial.

VW installed defeat-device software so diesel cars passed lab emissions tests while polluting far more on the road. West Virginia University on-road testing accelerated detection; CARB/EPA enforcement and U.S. DOJ criminal/civil resolutions followed.

After Russia's August 1998 shock, FRBNY facilitated a private creditor consortium that recapitalized Long-Term Capital Management. McDonough and Greenspan testimony plus the April 1999 PWG report document systemic-risk justification, no public funds, and leverage/disclosure lessons—too-big-to-fail private rescue politics under official auspices.

Bre-X Minerals marketed enormous Busang gold resources in the mid-1990s before Freeport-McMoRan's May 1997 8-K published Strathcona Mineral Services' interim conclusion that economic gold was virtually absent and sample gold was extraneous. The Ontario Securities Commission charged John Felderhof with insider trading and misleading disclosure; he was acquitted in 2007 and OSC declined to appeal. The Archive holds the securities/audit spine as primary and keeps murder folklore outside L1.

Bankruptcy examiner Anton R. Valukas's March 2010 report reconstructs Lehman's Repo 105/108 trades that temporarily removed assets to shrink reported net leverage at quarter-end. Volumes 1, 3, and 4 document the sale-treatment device, leverage targeting, and colorable-claims analysis—accounting disguise of risk, not a claim that Repo 105 alone caused 2008.

SEC sued Kozlowski, Swartz, and Belnick in September 2002 for undisclosed loans and self-dealing. A Manhattan jury convicted Kozlowski and Swartz in 2005; the New York Court of Appeals affirmed in 2008; SEC settled permanent officer/director bars in 2009. Contested HOLD: living-person care; criminal spine is state DA not federal DOJ; settlement/release ≠ vacatur.

Monsanto manufactured PCBs in Anniston, Alabama, through 1971. EPA's Superfund Alternative Site, DOJ's 2002 study settlement, the 2013 OU3 RD/RA decree, ATSDR's Anniston Community Health Survey, and a 2024 OU4 Record of Decision document plant-source contamination and consent-decree longevity—not a one-day spill anecdote.

SEC and SDNY actions against Drexel Burnham Lambert and Michael Milken produced a six-count corporate plea ($650 million) and Milken’s April 1990 six-count guilty plea with parallel SEC disgorgement/bar settlements. Contested/L2 keeps living-person court verbs only and refuses pardon/politics as erasure of the plea spine.

Barings PLC collapsed in February 1995 after unauthorized Singapore futures and options losses concealed in error account 88888. The Board of Banking Supervision HC 673 report, Bank of England Court minutes, and RBA supervisor summary document multi-year detection failure and comprehensive internal-control breakdown—individual misconduct enabled by missing segregation of duties.

Cum-ex and related schemes created multiple withholding-tax reclaims around dividend dates. Bundestag Drs. 18/12700, LG Bonn and BGH (1 StR 519/20), and ESMA's 2020 report document organized unpaid-tax reclaim architecture across jurisdictions—tax fraud ring spine, not harmless custody mechanics.

Danske Bank's Estonian Non-Resident Portfolio moved roughly €200B-scale flows (2007–15) under thin AML controls. Bruun & Hjejle (2018), Danish FSA orders and supervision findings, and the 2022 DOJ bank-fraud conspiracy plea document group knowledge, weak controls, and delayed stop—not a lone branch accident.

Hooker Chemical's buried waste under a Niagara Falls neighborhood triggered a public-health emergency, evacuations, and the political birth of Superfund—an origin story of corporate disposal meeting residential life.

Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme collapsed in December 2008; SEC OIG Report No. 509 detailed repeated failed examinations and ignored red flags, including Harry Markopolos warnings—regulator failure as cover-enabler.

The SFO discontinued its BAE Al-Yamamah investigation on 14 December 2006 citing national/international security. The House of Lords upheld the Director's discretion in Corner House [2008] UKHL 60; OECD Phase 2bis treated the halt as an Article 5 / prosecutorial-independence crisis. Documented halt, judicial review, and peer-review criticism—not a settled verdict on every payment allegation.

UN Oil-for-Food moved tens of billions under sanctions relief. Resolution 1538 mandated the Volcker Independent Inquiry Committee, whose September 2005 management report and October 2005 manipulation report documented UN oversight failure and Iraqi oil surcharges/humanitarian kickbacks—official inquiry spine, not table-as-conviction folklore.

TexPet Oriente operations fed Aguinda suits dismissed to Ecuador (2d Cir. 2002). The Lago Agrio multi-billion judgment met SDNY Kaplan 2014 fraud/bribery findings and Second Circuit 2016 affirmance of U.S. non-enforcement relief against named defendants—documented multi-forum litigation with contested judgment legitimacy, not a morality play.

Michael Garcia’s FIFA Ethics Investigatory Chamber report on 2018/2022 World Cup bidding was published in full by FIFA in 2017 after years of withhold. Separately, the U.S. Department of Justice’s Eastern District of New York charged FIFA officials and marketing executives in a racketeering bribery conspiracy (May 2015 indictment; December 2015 superseding charges and pleas). The Archive holds both spines as primary and refuses captions that treat settlements or ethics silence as full exoneration—or every hosting decision as a proven purchased vote.

Purdue Pharma's marketing of OxyContin minimized addiction risk and helped drive the opioid crisis; DOJ settlements, state litigation, and bankruptcy filings created an extensive public record of corporate deception.

The 20 April 2010 Deepwater Horizon / Macondo blowout killed eleven and spilled oil for eighty-seven days. Coast Guard–Interior Joint Investigation volumes, the National Commission *Deep Water* report, Eastern District of Louisiana MDL 2179, and the April 2016 United States–Gulf States–BPXP consent decree document the evidence and liability fights over cement, negative-pressure tests, and blowout-preventer failures.
