Chapter 16 - Interrogation Room Confession Revealing The Stolen Millions
Inside the dim federal interrogation room, Patricia sat across from two veteran prosecutors from the Department of Justice.
"Your situation is catastrophic, Patricia," the lead prosecutor noted, laying out a fifty-page federal indictment paper on the table.
"Wire fraud, tax evasion, identity theft, and grand larceny carry a combined sentence of up to thirty years in federal prison," he added.
Patricia leaned forward, her eyes wide with frantic desperation as she attempted her final, pathetic attempt to save herself.
"It wasn't my idea! My son David planned the whole thing! He forced me to sign those offshore banking documents!" she lied loudly.

He listened to her blame him for crimes she had committed long before he even understood how business bank accounts worked.
A single tear rolled down David’s cheek as he finally closed his eyes, realizing his mother had never truly loved him at all.
He turned to the federal agent standing beside him, signing his official witness statement against Patricia without a moment’s delay.
