Chapter 19 - The Missing Eighteen Million Dollars

David pulled a secure tablet from his jacket, bringing up a confidential financial intelligence file marked with an Interpol red notice.

“When Arthur Vance was sentenced last month, federal auditors discovered an unregistered Swiss trust account containing eighteen million dollars,” David explained softly.

“The account was opened four years ago using a forged power of attorney bearing your stolen signature.”

“And three hours ago, someone attempted to withdraw the entire balance from a private bank in Zurich using your maiden security credentials.”

My mind instantly calculated the complex mathematical parameters of the theft, recognizing the specific cryptographic key used to access that vault.

It wasn't Arthur Vance, nor was it Emily Davis from her prison cell in Maryland.

I stared at the glowing screen as the Swiss police officer brought up the surveillance image taken at the Zurich bank counter thirty minutes prior.
