Chapter 17 - The Courtroom Verdict Destroys The Vance Family Empire
Two months later, the federal district court in Manhattan delivered its final, devastating verdict against Evelyn and Daniel Vance.
The gallery was packed with financial reporters as Judge Reynolds read the sentencing guidelines from the mahogany bench.
“Evelyn Vance, for masterminding four decades of wire fraud, tax evasion, and corporate racketeering, you are sentenced to twenty years,” he ruled.
“Daniel Vance, for corporate conspiracy and financial fraud under federal guidelines, you are sentenced to eight years in federal prison,” he added.
The gavel slammed down with a thunderous echo that sealed their fates inside the concrete walls of maximum-security facilities.
Evelyn screamed hysterically as federal marshals grabbed her arms, dragging her out of the courtroom in absolute disgrace.
Daniel didn't fight back; he kept his head bowed in deep shame as he was handcuffed and led away toward the holding cells.
