Chapter 8 - Freezing the Corrupt Offshore Accounts Across the Globe
Federal agents began securing the perimeter of the sprawling estate, locking down every computer terminal and safe inside.
Richard pulled out a burner phone from his inner coat pocket, desperately trying to dial an international number.
“Don't bother calling the Cayman Islands, Richard; those accounts were frozen twenty minutes before we walked in,” Victoria noted.
The old patriarch froze, dropping the burner phone onto the marble floor where it clattered harmlessly against the tiles.
“You think freezing our domestic assets destroys us? We have syndicates in Zurich and Singapore backing our reserves,” Richard hissed.
“Let’s see how much backing they give a man who has just been indicted on federal money laundering charges,” Victoria replied.
Right on cue, two additional federal agents stepped into the kitchen holding a pair of heavy steel handcuffs.
“Richard Vance Sr., you are under arrest for securities fraud, corporate racketeering, and bribery,” the agent announced formally.
Before Richard could protest, the cold steel cuffs snapped tightly around his aging wrists with a sharp, metallic click.
