Chapter 10 - Marcus Tries To Conceal His Offshore Assets Abroad
Held in a secure holding facility in lower Manhattan, Marcus was granted a single monitored phone call to his offshore banking contacts in Zurich.
He dialed the encrypted number with trembling fingers, praying that his Swiss account managers could execute a blind emergency transfer.
“This is Marcus Caldwell! I need immediate liquidation of portfolio Alpha-Seven into a secondary bearer bond account!” he barked urgently.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Caldwell, but all accounts associated with your primary Social Security number have been frozen by international court order,” the banker replied.
“Are you insane?! Use the secondary corporate shield name!” Marcus screamed, pressing the phone receiver tightly against his ear.
“That shield name was legally dissolved two hours ago by a joint filing from Rowan Escrow Trust and federal authorities,” the banker stated coldly.
The click of the disconnected call echoed in Marcus’s ear like a death knell for his entire fabricated empire of wealth.
He dropped the plastic phone onto the metal console, staring blankly at the concrete walls of the holding cell as reality finally set in.

He sat down heavily on the narrow steel bunk, burying his face in his hands as he realized his life of luxury was gone forever.
