I know France popularized the Guillotine, but what was the highest profile case of an American fucking around and finding out?

Elizabeth Holmes, Sam Bankman-Freid, and Martin Shkreli come to the top of mind. Maybe Bernie Maddoff?

    Can we add Kennedy (Vietnam) and Lincoln (Slavery) too? Or were their FO not related to their FA?

      We don’t fully understand JFK’s assassin, but it is likely not due to Vietnam as Vietnam wasn’t a major issue at the time of Kennedy’s death.

      Lincoln’s assassination could be seen as a defense of slavery and other Southern “rights”.
