Chapter 11 - U.S. Marshals Enter The Ballroom With Federal Warrants
Special Agent Miller led a squad of armed U.S. Marshals straight down the center aisle of the opulent ballroom.
The sparkling crystal chandeliers cast sharp glints over their polished badges and tactical equipment.
The wealthy guests parted instantly, gasping in shock at the sudden federal intrusion into their exclusive event.
Agent Miller stopped directly in front of Richard Sterling, pulling a thick folder from his heavy leather briefcase.
“Richard Sterling, you are under federal arrest for securities fraud, wire fraud, and document forgery,” Miller announced.
The words echoed clearly across the silent ballroom, stunning the entire assembly into absolute stillness.
Richard staggered backward, his knees buckling slightly as the cold steel handcuffs clicked around his wrists.
“This is a mistake! I demand to speak to my corporate defense counsel in Manhattan right now!” Richard yelled.

“You can speak to your attorneys all you want down at the federal holding facility,” Miller replied flatly.
The US flag standing on its brass pole in the background fluttered gently in the draft from the open doors.
