Solar power in the Amazon? The only way to get more \u201cvirtuous\u201d than that is if somehow they could be saving whales in the Amazon too!\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Bankman-Fried admits that being reckless with customers\u2019 funds caused the downfall of FTX.

Growing one\u2019s wealth is not done correctly when you put yourself at the mercy of what the \u201cwoke\u201d ESG crowd wants to do with your investments. There is no such thing as \u201cwoke\u201d capitalism. Not unless you want to throw your money down the drain, as many investors did with FTX.<\/span><\/p><p><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/sam-bankman-fried-esg-truth-teller-ftx-cryptocurrency-crash-11668723808\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Wall Street Journal<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Editorial Board picked up on this in their editorial a few days ago:\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cMr. Bankman-Fried also acknowledges that he genuflected to regulators and Democratic lawmakers to win political protection. ESG rating company Truvalue Labs even gave FTX a higher score on \u201cleadership and governance\u201d than Exxon Mobil, though the crypto exchange had only three directors. The directors were Mr. Bankman-Fried, another FTX executive, and an outside attorney. Tuvalu Labs says FTX was given an overall \u2018laggard\u2019 score.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For his part, Bankman-Fried told\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Vox<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0that \u201cESG has been perverted beyond recognition.\u201d He even added that he feels \u201cbad for those who get\u201d harmed by \u201cthis dumb game we woke westerners play where we say all the right shibboleths and so everyone likes us.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It\u2019s both satisfying and sad to get such a confession from a corrupt financial manipulator who bought into the so-called \u201cwoke\u201d ideology of ESG and yet also promoted and reinforced it himself.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The FTX scandal is teaching us many things. One of the biggest lessons we can learn is how much of a crock ESG is. At its best, it\u2019s a virtue signal. At its worst, it will lead investors to financial ruin.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Companies with high ESG ratings may not have the financial scandals of FTX or experience the colossal losses it took. But the mere fact that a company like FTX was given a high ESG rating should make the entire ESG scheme a poster boy for poor decision-making.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Remember, ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. It supposedly rates companies on that criteria. Leaving the \u201cenvironmental\u201d and \u201csocial\u201d labels aside for a moment, there was nothing about FTX that should have signaled good governance. Then again, the entire ESG scheme is simply a signal, a virtue signal. It might be the only real thing Bankman-Fried has said to us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Take notice of the confessions of this very guilty man.
