Chapter 13 - THE DISCOVERY OF THE ACCOMPLICE
Back in Chicago, federal investigators continued auditing Victoria’s corporate shell companies and hidden offshore accounts.
Detective Vance called Mark late Thursday evening with a startling new development in the federal investigation.
"Mr. Cole, we found a regular wire transfer pattern leading from Victoria's secret account to an overseas recipient," Detective Vance reported.
"Who was receiving the funds?" Mark asked, leaning forward over his study desk at the lake house.
"Her brother, Julian Vance... who happens to be a high-ranking executive at your primary competitor's firm," the detective revealed.
Mark's eyes narrowed as the pieces of the corporate conspiracy snapped violently into place.
"They weren't just trying to steal my personal trust funds; they were trying to bankrupt my engineering firm from the inside," Mark realized.
"We're issuing an immediate federal warrant for Julian's arrest on charges of corporate racketeering and conspiracy," Vance confirmed.
The net was closing tightly around the entire criminal network that had attempted to destroy his family's legacy.
