    Alexander Hamilton called out Aaron Burr for defrauding new york city and died in a duel as a result. Aaron Burr was justified having won the duel and used the money to start J.P. Morgan bank and now we all have to pay $30 for being $0.01 overdrawn.

      Ackshtually, Burr founded what became the Chase part of it, and the duel was over five years after that.

      This should be higher in the list. This is a repeat the past moment, not a bad guys killing each other moment.
