Chapter 13 - Evelyn Tries To Liquidate Remaining Family Assets
Unaware that federal freezing orders had already been processed, Evelyn rushed into her downtown commercial bank branch.
She slammed her platinum priority card onto the marble teller counter with an urgent, demanding expression.
“I need an immediate wire transfer of five hundred thousand dollars from my primary trust account to Zurich,” Evelyn ordered.
The senior bank manager stepped out from his glass office, giving her a cold, professional smile.
“I’m sorry, Mrs. Vance, but all accounts associated with your name and your son’s corporation have been frozen by federal order,” he stated.
Evelyn’s face drained of all color, her hands trembling as she grabbed the edge of the marble counter.
“Frozen? By whose authority? You have no right to freeze my family’s generational capital!” Evelyn shrieked in disbelief.
“By order of the United States District Court, pursuant to federal asset forfeiture case number 489-B,” the manager replied calmly.
Security guards stepped closer to the counter as Evelyn began shouting hysterically in the middle of the crowded lobby.
