Chapter 23 - THE WASHINGTON HEARING
The international arbitration tribunal convened inside a high-security federal building in Washington, D.C.
Three international judges presided over the hearing, reviewing thick binders of financial evidence presented by both sides.
Victoria Thorne sat at the plaintiff table wearing a sharp black suit, glaring bitterly at Jonathan and Maria across the aisle.
"Your Honors, the 1995 loan agreement bears the verified seal of Arthur Sterling Senior," Victoria's lawyer argued.
Jonathan stepped up to the witness podium, presenting a forensic audit conducted by the FBI Cyber Division.
"The seal on that document was generated using a digital printer that wasn't manufactured until 2012," Jonathan testified clearly.
The courtroom fell silent as the forensic evidence was displayed on high-definition video monitors for the judges.
Victoria Thorne turned pale as the lead judge examined the undeniable technical proof of forgery.
"This tribunal finds the claim to be entirely fraudulent and orders the immediate arrest of the plaintiff," the lead judge ruled.
