No one Person?

I looked for the meaning of 'Implication' and it had an example sentence with it.

Here 'the implication is that no one person at the bank is responsible.'

I checked online to figure out what does this mean.Because I thought that no one and person do not collocate with each other.What I found is that 'no one' is modifying the noun here and it means that not a single person at the bank was responsible, there were many and this further suggests that not all of them are identifiable.

Is that how it is?Is that 'no one' means here? If yes, can anyone please give me two or more sentences like this?

I'll be very grateful.

Thanks!

This is not "no one" in the usual sense of "nobody". " and modifies the noun following. For example: No one factor can explain it.
