(In Canada) The max my bank offers is 10 years, and it comes at a premium. The standard I see around me are 5 years.

Let's say that, hypothetically, I lead a project for a very big customer that ended up being used to commit a (arguably) crime against humanity. Should I put this on resume and wou…
