What are some of the most bizarre or extreme examples of karma that have been reported or studied?

Well, I don't really believe in karma but I can think of some stories that people love to tell. One of the most well-known examples is the case of the serial killer, Robert Durst. He was suspected of killing three people, but managed to evade justice for years. Eventually, he was caught and his case was featured in a documentary series called "The Jinx". In the final episode, Durst is caught on a hot mic saying "What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course." It's seen as an example of karma catching up to him for his crimes.

Another example that comes to mind involves a man named Pascual Perez. He was a former professional baseball player in the 1980s who had a reputation for being a bit of a hothead. One day, he agreed to take part in a fight with another man, which he won. However, during the fight, he injured his shoulder and was unable to pitch in an upcoming game. As a result, he missed out on a bonus payout and was subsequently released by his team. Later that day, he was robbed and beaten. It's seen as an example of karma catching up to him for his violent behavior.

There are also plenty of stories about people who commit crimes and then accidentally incriminate themselves. For example, there was a man in 2013 who robbed a convenience store. He was wearing a mask, but ended up dropping his wallet on the way out. When the police arrived, they found the wallet with his ID inside and were able to arrest him. It's seen as an example of karma catching up to him for his foolish mistake.

Of course, there are plenty of counterarguments to the whole idea of karma. Some people say that bad things happen to good people all the time, and that there's no real logic to why some people seem to get what's coming to them while others don't. At the end of the day, it's probably more comforting to believe that the universe has some kind of cosmic justice system in place, rather than just accepting that life is often random and unpredictable.
