The spirit of this market is - someone did something that is worse than committing a financial crime. What could that be?
Examples of financial crimes: Fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, bribes, tax evasion, counterfeiting, insider trading, etc.
The severity of financial crimes can vary and you should use your own judgement when voting/placing your bets.
New Resolution Criteria (copied from Bayesian + Joshua):
This is simultaneously a market and a poll.
1 person = 1 vote (per answer), so having more shares does not make your vote count for more.
If you sell your shares, you are also removing your vote.
This market closes once per month.
If an answer has a clear majority of YES holders, that answer will resolve YES.
If an answer has a clear majority of NO holders, that answer will resolve NO.
If it's very close or votes are still coming in, the option will remain un-resolved.
Bots count
I may update these exact criteria to better match the spirit of the question or if Bayesian/Joshua update their criteria.
Old answers below will have standard polls. New answers (added after 6pm ET on June 21st) will adhere to the new guidelines above.

3.00@TheAllMemeingEye I'd argue that anyone who's even a tiny bit consequentialist should vote YES here given the number of accidents this would cause
@Mich It doesn't need to be simultaneous, let's say that it's timed to not have any knock-on effects
@TrickyDuck the end result is identical to committing financial crimes right?
@TheAllMemeingEye It ends up being multiple financial crimes, so you have to ask yourself, “Is that worse than committing a financial crime?”
@Qoiuoiuoiu you have a point, but I think you also need to commit a financial crime to fund the resurrection project so it's double bad 😂
@Choms I'm inclined to say no on this one, imo you can always fire the negligent guy if the consequence wasn't too bad
@OP Therefore it isn't worse than a financial crime, right? Also, is going to prison really a downgrade if you're already a homeless beggar?
@TheAllMemeingEye Depends on the prison and who you're locked up with and if'n you got purrrdy lips.
@Choms you don't think it's bad at all that uneducated people will be scammed into thinking some bullshit remedy will cure their kid's leukemia?
@TheAllMemeingEye it was a joke 🙂 but I still traded NO because I don't think something that specific happens anymore and the blast radius is much much lower
@Choms maybe a more common modern example would be promoting essential oils as an alternative to vaccination
@TheAllMemeingEye I get you and if it was phrased as "scamming people" or "promoting dangerous ineffective medical nonsense" I would have bought YES but the quackery part is just way too specific imo
