Chapter 12 - Grant Is Escorted Out in Heavy Steel Handcuffs
Back at the courthouse steps, camera flashes blinded the afternoon sunlight as Grant was led toward a van.
Reporters shoved microphones in his face, shouting questions about his embezzlement and fake mourning.
“Mr. Sterling! Is it true you tried to steal your pregnant wife’s multi-million-dollar inheritance?” a reporter yelled.
Grant kept his head down, hiding his handcuffed wrists beneath his expensive wool suit jacket.
He climbed into the back of the transport vehicle, the heavy steel doors slamming shut with a final thud.
His penthouse apartment, luxury cars, and corporate office were already seized by federal asset forfeiture.
Within hours, his name was scrubbed from the building directory of Whitfield & Sterling Architecture.
He went from being an untouchable corporate elite to inmate number 48921 in a maximum-security holding facility.
