"A lot of contracts in government are handed to friends and family where it is mishandled and money ends up in the pockets of people running the contracts. One example in the UK is where protection equipment at the cost of millions was handed to a friend of a government minister, the equipment had to be thrown away because it was not in good condition. That money was never recovered." - MagicalWhisk

"Big companies use Reddit and other social media to normalise shady behaviour. It seems every time news breaks about a company doing something shady, the top comments on Reddit are always along the lines of: “Well duh! We've known this for years!” So instead of outrage, the news are met with apathy, and there's a feeling that you can't change the system anyway." - geyag79675

"The Franklin Scandal — the original Republican gay teen abuse orgy scandal—totally happened. Lawrence King, the most powerful African-American figure in the Republican Party at the time, set up gay sex parties with teenage boys shipped in from Boys Town, the youth care program based out of Omaha, for the purposes of getting blackmail material on legislators." - loopster70 https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/wf6vey/what_conspiracy_theory_do_you_believe_is_100_true/

"The Phantom Cosmonauts. One of my favorite Cold War conspiracies. Yuri Gagarin wasn’t the first man in space he was just the first one to come back alive. There’s a lot of documents and records that have never been released of the Soviet Union space program which many believe also proves that there were a significant number of cosmonauts that were sent into space and never came back. A pair of Italian brothers were a mature radio enthusiasts that wanted to eavesdrop on US and Soviet space chatter and made their own radio tower in an old German bunker. They caught radio transmissions of interesting things like whats most likely a female cosmonaut that’s re-entering the atmosphere but her craft is burning up as she’s updating the situation in real time. There’s also what’s possibly a morse code signaling SOS which is getting weaker and weaker almost like the signal is moving away. As if a spacecraft is drifting further from earth. It’s more then likely that modern day Russia is hiding a lot of secrets of their Soviet space program and that also means the men and women they sent up there that never came back home." - TaiKorczak

"This theory by a redditor which was later removed and the user was site-wide banned for reasons I don't know. Robert Kardashian destroyed evidence that would have convicted OJ. He was handed a Louis Vuitton garment bag by OJ's assistant right as OJ returned from Chicago. None of the cops paid any attention to him as he walked away with the bag. When the "bag theory" was discovered a month later Kardashian claimed to have lost it." - datole1625

"That all of those souvenir shops on prominent shopping streets in London, England are money laundering fronts. You know the ones with a massive floor space selling key rings and knock off hoodies that say Tik Tok or something yet have no customers except young male staff sat about on their phones? How on Earth would a not very busy shop survive in Europe’s most expensive retail space other than that? Also factoring in a global pandemic and a massive reduction in international tourists (who they’re presumably aimed at) yet they show no signs of shutting down. They also all appear to be owned by the same person and stock the same merchandise." - mikerah679
