Chapter 7 - Stripping a toxic socialite of her credit cards and luxury assets after federal investigators freeze offshore accounts tied to international corporate fraud today.
At 9:00 AM the following day, federal agents from the Securities and Exchange Commission executed search warrants at the Vance corporate headquarters in Manhattan.
Victoria's husband, Julian Vance, stood in his corner office as agents boxed up hard drives and financial ledgers under federal seizure warrants.
His phone buzzed continuously with urgent alerts: "Your corporate credit lines have been suspended by JPMorgan Chase due to pending litigation."
Julian slammed his fist onto his glass desk, realizing his wife's catastrophic mistake at the Hamptons party had triggered a full financial collapse.
Down in the lobby, news reporters had already gathered, holding microphones and cameras as federal vehicles lined Wall Street outside the building.
"Mr. Vance! Is it true that your wife was arrested for framing the primary heir to your firm?" a reporter yelled as Julian was escorted out.
Julian pulled his suit jacket over his head, dodging camera lenses in total humiliation as federal officers loaded him into an unmarked vehicle.
The Vance family empire was crumbling in real-time, exposed on national television networks across the entire United States.
