Pretty sure in American history there are corporations that have knowingly, literally killed people because they knew the side-effects of their products, if not immediately, over time.<p>Tobacco industry comes to mind and lying to congress scott-free. There is also the dumping of toxic chemicals into water sources and rivers, etc. which happens to this day.<p>So while it was the biggest financial and government oversight failure, credit-default swaps unlikely literally, directly killed people.<p>What&#x27;s worse is that little to nothing has changed and it could all happen again given enough time.
