Yeah, my favorite is that Jim Morrison agreed to fake his death to get the US government off his back for how his music fueled counter culture at the time. He laid low for a little, and then re-emerged as his new persona, Glen Danzig, the leader of the horror punk band, The Misfits.

For me it’s the Gunpowder Plot but probably only because it failed.

Enron is a pretty good one too, since it resulted in the collapse of one of these shitty megacorps.

Most conspiracies are just depressing shit though like the Reichstag fire and the Business Plot.

At least MK Ultra gave us some wild stories.

Enron is a pretty good one too

My favorite conspiracy theory is that the NBA draft lottery is rigged. People always say "oh no it couldn't possibly be rigged because it's overseen by the accounting firm Ernst & Young". It used to be overseen by the accounting firm Arthur Andersen until they got busted aiding and abetting the Enron scam.

I always imagined the Business Plot going down like...

this war hero who gave his entire life towards serving his country walks into congress exclaiming "by god you all need to hear this, these unscrupulous businessmen came to me trying to get me to pull a coup..."

congress goes - ...slow blink... no need for a coup, they already own us. the war hero leaving with his entire reality shattered as he knows noone (no common man, atleast) would believe his story, especially not after the story is spun by the media conglomerates that were a part of the plot

then in a followup phonecall congress exclaims... "godfuckingdamnit JPM, do you really have to pull this prank on every other innocent (in the conscious sense) war hero we got? doesn't that ever get old?"

I think Jim Morrison re-emerged as Val Kilmer.

That would be tricky given the difference in height.
