Chapter 12 - Tracing illegal wire transfers from offshore shell companies straight back to the secret Swiss bank accounts controlled by the arrogant family members involved.
Back at the federal cyber-crime division, forensic accountants cracked the encryption on the Cayman Islands shell accounts seized from Eleanor.
The computer screens lit up with a sprawling web of illegal wire transfers spanning three continents and five offshore tax havens.
"Agent Miller, we found an active link between Eleanor's shell company and a secret Swiss bank account in Zurich," a technician reported.
"How much capital is sitting in that Swiss account?" Agent Miller asked, leaning over the glowing monitor.
"Over twelve million dollars, all siphoned directly from corporate research grants awarded to Amelia Vance's firm," the analyst confirmed.
The federal prosecutor immediately signed international asset freezing orders, locking down the Swiss bank accounts within the hour.
Eleanor's financial fortress was completely dismantled, leaving her without a single cent to pay for high-priced criminal defense attorneys.
