In 2004 VTI was about $55. It's now $200. On a 19-year time frame a broad market index fund like VTI is the only thing you ought to have been invested in.

Perhaps the scam is when banks let people choose their own investments rather than have it be fully managed.

The thing was that it was invested by family, in banks that failed, and failed and failed... being collapsed and bought/bailed out through the rape...

And so the account ended up continually ending up in the hands of even seedier banksters....

I didnt discover this until after my grandmother passed, and I was able to trace it back through various funds - and they just raped the account...
