The entire financial structure of the Vance syndicate laid itself out before me.
It was a vast web of shell companies, real estate holdings, and secret accounts.
“They have been laundering money through my father’s firm for nine years,” I said, scrolling through the files.
“We can dismantle them tonight,” Roman said, leaning over my shoulder.

“We route their funds through a series of flagged accounts,” Roman explained. “The federal agencies will see the transactions instantly.”
“And the fifty million for Vance?” I asked.
“We send it,” Roman said. “But we send it from an account that is already under federal investigation.”
I looked at him, a small smile touching my lips.
“He won’t be able to touch a dime of it,” I said.
“Exactly,” Roman said. “By the time he realizes the money is frozen, his entire network will be compromised.”
I began typing the routing commands, my fingers flying across the keys.
