Jeffrey Epstein operated a documented criminal network involving the sexual abuse of dozens of minors over many years. In 2008, then-US Attorney Alexander Acosta negotiated a non-prosecution agreement (NPA) that shielded Epstein and unnamed co-conspirators from federal charges, in what a federal judge later ruled violated victims' rights laws. The Miami Herald's 2018 "Perversion of Justice" investigation, by Julie K. Brown, documented systematic obstruction and the NPA's unusual terms. Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted in 2021 on federal trafficking charges. The claim that investigations into broader networks of powerful associates have been suppressed is partially documented — specific obstruction is confirmed; the full extent of prosecutorial suppression and the identity of all beneficiaries of the NPA remain disputed and partially unresolved.

AROPL is a small new religious movement led by Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq, who claims succession to Ahmed Al-Hassan, who himself claimed in the early 2000s to be the Mahdi (the prophesied figure in Islamic eschatology). Multiple ex-members and journalists have documented cult-like high-control dynamics, leader-devotion, financial extraction, and serious allegations against named figures in the leadership. AROPL denies the allegations and continues to operate openly. The movement is unrelated to and frequently confused with the mainstream Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, an established religious community founded in 1889 with no connection to AROPL.

In September–November 2001, letters laced with weapons-grade anthrax spores were mailed to news outlets and US senators, killing five people and infecting seventeen others. The FBI's Amerithrax investigation ultimately focused on Bruce E. Ivins, a USAMRIID scientist who died by suicide in 2008 before charges were filed. A 2011 National Academy of Sciences review found the FBI's scientific case "not as definitive as portrayed."

The 2008 financial crisis response — the $700B TARP, $182B AIG bailout, and Federal Reserve emergency lending — is subject to confirmed and contested claims: bank executives knew of subprime risk and profited anyway; "too big to fail" was institutionalized; regulatory capture was documented.

The Milwaukee Police Department's May 27, 1991 return of 14-year-old Konerak Sinthasomphone (fleeing from Jeffrey Dahmer's apartment) back to Dahmer, despite bystander objections. The victim was killed that night. This incident and broader investigative failures are well-documented; claims of intentional protection remain contested.
