Doxing billionaires is justified accountability against those who abuse wealth and power.

  • “All these billionaires hate to do things like apply for permits or hire at prevailing wages, you know they only hire crooks that do what they say. You like to move fast and break things? Fine, let's break you.”

    Wired interviews Capytistas members about dossier construction and funding

    Two anonymous members told Wired they spent a year building dossiers on billionaires and trillionaires using methods available to private investigators and some that are not. The group claims it is international and includes grassroots activists, researchers, journalists, and artists who work in isolated 'silos' for security. Members say the group has raised over $1.2 million from wealthy donors who oppose extreme wealth concentration.

    “the group says it has raised more than $1.2 million from "a heartening number of wealthy class traitors" who share in the view that concentrations of extreme wealth and political power pose an "existential threat."”
