Arthur’s eyes tracked it the way a man watches a car accident — unable to look away, unable to stop it.

His voice was steady, but his hands were not.

Shell companies in three countries.
Falsified contracts.
Payments routed through a logistics subsidiary that technically belongs to a man who d*ed in 2019.”
