The whole problem is that carbon can only be successfully traded when it is in a useful form. Trading some amorphous “carbon”, the ownership of which is only represented by a certificate, but which cannot be truly possessed doesn’t make sense to most people. But trading carbon in the form of, for instance, food or furniture leaves people feeling like they got something of value for their money.

You are analyzing the business as if it were real. The real money was made from fees paid for establishing the business. That money is paid and gone. The actors and their facilitators made out like the bandits they were.
The scam is merely a vehicle used to extract massive fees.
