(FORTUNE Magazine) – Of all the CEOs on Wall Street, only Paulson has been secure enough to speak out against corporate malfeasance.

Goldman Sachs CEO Henry Paulson has come under fire from irate shareholders who say he is using company assets to further his own personal environmental goals in Chile. In 2004, under Paulson’s leadership, Goldman Sachs donated a 2,750 square kilometer tract of land in southern Chile to the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), creating the Karukinka wildlife reserve.
