Chapter 12 - The Trap Victor invited me to a private negotiation.

I accepted.

Arthur objected.

“This could be a trap.”

“It is.”

“Then why go?”

“Because I want to know what he thinks he has.”

The meeting took place inside an empty skyscraper.

Victor sat alone at a long glass table.

“You're very brave.”

“No.”

I smiled.

“I'm very curious.”

He slid a folder toward me.

Inside was evidence that appeared to prove Vanguard had manipulated financial markets.

“Sign over your controlling shares.”

“Or?”

“You go to prison.”

I closed the folder.

“You forgot one thing.”

“What?”

I looked behind him.

The doors opened.

Federal investigators entered.

Victor's smile vanished.

I had never come to negotiate.

I had come to expose him.
