Chapter 17 - Federal Court Denies Bail For The Desperate Richard
During the federal bail review hearing, Judge Henderson presided with stern, uncompromising judicial authority.
Prosecutors presented overwhelming evidence of Richard attempting to hide assets in offshore cryptocurrency wallets.
“Given the extreme risk of flight and the gravity of the financial crimes, bail is definitively denied,” Judge Henderson ruled.
Richard pounded his fist against the defense table in a desperate, unhinged fit of rage.

“Your constitutional rights include a fair trial, which you will receive from inside a federal detention facility,” the judge replied.

Marshals escorted him back through the heavy steel doors as camera flashes popped continuously outside.
