Forbidden Events/Banks/Scandals/Corruption in IB

Curious to learn more about the lesser known/talked about old parts of the IB industry.

You obviously have your Bear Sterns/ Lehmen Brothers/Credit Suisse at the top of the iceberg - but if you go down theres the Cantor Fitzgerald scandal, recent JPM LevFin (although false still crazy), and deaths at certain firms.

Think of this as an iceberg - what are some events at the bottom of the iceberg that someone like myself (incoming SA26) wouldn't know?
