Chapter 23 - THE REGULATORY WAR
Two weeks later, federal inspectors from the Securities and Exchange Commission arrived at Vance Global headquarters.
They presented an emergency regulatory order demanding immediate access to Marcus’s private biometric servers.
Marcus received the inspectors inside the grand executive boardroom, flanked by Agent Vance and Arthur Pendelton.
"This audit warrant was issued by a state judge who received three million dollars in offshore transfers," Arthur revealed calmly.
The inspectors froze, looking nervously at the financial audit documents Arthur dropped onto the conference table.
"Your regulatory order is invalid, and federal marshals are arresting the issuing judge in Albany right now," Marcus stated.
The lead inspector quickly backed away, placing his files into his briefcase before fleeing the executive suite.
Marcus walked over to the window, looking down at the bustling streets of Wall Street below.
"Croft thinks he can play chess with federal agencies," Marcus remarked to Agent Vance.
