You know, who knows what happened to the investors in US Radium? Where did their funds go, and is there a trail of other problems (or bodies) with their subsequent investments? I'd like to know who I hypothetically should and shouldn't be investing my money with, as I want the world to be a better place.

One of the principals died from complications caused by radiation, according to Wikipedia; am not able to find any significant names via a search. It may have been a somewhat profitable but eventually insignificant company.
Are you saying you want to know if there's a US Radium heir that has a 50% stake in Hostess so you know not to buy Twinkies?

Our entire modern society is built on the blood (and brilliance) of the past. Lessons were learned.

You'll go crazy trying to trace it all.
