Buckle up for a Redditor-fueled roast of history’s slimiest power players, where corruption isn’t just a bug—it’s the feature. From Nestlé’s water-poisoning scandals to FIFA’s blatant bribe-fests, this list compiled by Eli Yudin spotlights 30 organizations that make your shady uncle look like a saint. Think the Catholic Church abusing its holy halo for centuries, Big Pharma jacking up prices on life-saving drugs, or the UN allegedly smuggling more cash and weapons than aid under the guise of peacekeeping. Don’t forget tobacco giants like Philip Morris, who pioneered denial tactics now used by climate skeptics, or the East India Companies that colonized with corporate greed. Modern villains like BlackRock, US Congress, and health insurance firms join ancient ones like the Vatican Bank laundering mafia money. It’s a hilarious yet horrifying reminder that power corrupts, and absolute power throws lavish parties on your dime. If you’re feeling cynical about the world, this list will either validate you or make you laugh through the despair.
