Five banks (Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Barclays, Royal
Bank of Scotland and UBS) had to pay a total of $2.5

In 2008 and 2009, a salmonella outbreak killed nine
people across the U.S. and sickened hundreds more. The
source of the contamination was traced back to the
Peanut Corporation of America (PCA), a Virginia company
run out of its CEO’s garage. The salmonella outbreak
turned out not to be a tragic accident, but rather the
direct result of PCA’s and CEO Stewart Parnell’s
decision to intentionally ship contaminated products. In
2014, Parnell was convicted for his role in the crime.
