The Wall Street cartel has seized control of the American economy, using your money to do so. Three Wall Street firms have amassed more money than Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Andrew Carnegie, and John Rockefeller combined. They have forced US companies to adopt "racial equity audits" and "emissions caps" while supporting human rights atrocities in China, coerce Western companies to produce less oil while shifting production to dirtier places, and charge high fees to mom-and-pop investors for sustainable funds. Capitalist Punishment is an easy-to-follow educational tour de force for all participants in financial markets.

Introduction
The most important details in this text are that Sam Bankman-Fried, popularly known as SBF, built FTX, a Bahamas-based cryptocurrency exchange, into one of the largest financial empires in the world, and that his high ESG score was just an unfortunate coincidence. However, SBF wasn't an exception to the rule, but an embodiment of it. SBF is likely going to prison, but the most elite practitioners of the game won't. Goldman Sachs, for example, sold complex mortgage-backed securities to investors that turned out to be worthless. Fabrice Tourre, a twenty-eight-year-old trader who worked at Goldman Sachs, revealed that Goldman's bankers were selling worthless securities.
He boasted about selling abacus bonds to widows and orphans
in June 2007, which caused the largest recession since the Great Depression. Goldman's most recent CEO, Henry Hank
Paulson, was the US treasury secretary at the time and used taxpayer money to bail out Goldman Sachs. A decade later, Goldman Sachs rebranded its Blue Chip Fund as its U.S. ESG Equity Fund. Investors who had passed on investing in Goldman's Blue Chip Fund would understand that it was a different investment opportunity.
Goldman Sachs jacked up the price on a floundering fund and slapped an ESG label on it, promising to screen out gambling, alcohol, tobacco, coal, and weapons stocks. The only difference was the fee, which was raised by a mere basis point. Left-wing critics of ESG get upset about this practice, but it is not the biggest ESG scam. Dedicated ESG funds represent a relatively small minority of total funds in the asset management industry. Greensmuggling is the inverse of greenwashing, where non-ESG funds smuggle ESG policies into their investment practices.
This problem is over $100 trillion in scale and is perpetrated by BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard, the three largest and most influential financial institutions in US history. BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard manage more than $20 trillion, almost as much as the entire US gross domestic product. However, the real price is not the nominal fee that the Big Three charge, but their voices and votes as shareholders in the global economy. The scheme of using the money of US citizens to advance ideologies that may be revolting is happening on such a large scale that it may be the biggest antitrust violation in history. In 2021, a Dutch nonprofit proposed a shareholder resolution demanding that the US oil giant reduce its Scope 3 emissions.
However, BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard all voted for it anyway, using trillions of dollars belonging to hardworking Americans. The vote had its intended effect, leading to Chevron agreeing to a litany of climate-related policies, such as adopting Scope 3 carbon intensity targets, investing in a division called Chevron New Energies, advocating for a new tax on its main product, and endorsing the Paris Climate Accords.
