Chapter 8 - The Boardroom Purge
The boardroom of Vance Sterling Global was the most powerful room in New York City.
Arthur Sterling sat at the head of the mahogany table. On the massive wall screen was a live feed of Federal Agents escorting Liam Thorne into a waiting van outside the Manhattan Federal Courthouse.
The remaining board members, who had often sympathized with Liam's ambitious overreach, sat in nervous silence.
"The era of unchecked ambition and lack of character within this organization is over," Arthur Sterling announced, his voice echoing through the room.
"Any executive who enabled Liam Thorne’s behavior, personally or financially, is terminated effective immediately."
The head of HR handed out resignation letters for four senior partners who had supported Liam’s secret offshore accounts.
