Released on July 4, 2009, 'The Conceptual Representation of Extortion in the Mind of Someone American', is a comment upon the U.S. government's US$50 billion bailout package for General Motors Corp. (GM).

The series juxtaposes American currency with the GM brand and a familiar metaphor for capitalist failure. The prevailing outcome is a satirical reminder to taxpayers of their corporate victimization.

The project aims to stimulate the taxpaying hippocampus, by re-introducing an indefinite quantity of extortion conscious denominations into circulation, throughout the governments' 'investment'.
