Chapter 5

Penulis: Ascendin
The next morning, I arrived at the office earlier than usual.

I wanted to find a chance to plant the voice recorder in Victor's office while no one else was around.

The entire floor was still empty, yet the light in his office was already on.

I slowed as I approached, wondering why he was there so early, and that was when I heard voices coming from inside.

Victor wasn't speaking loudly, but once I moved closer to the door, I could make out almost every word.

  • I Dodge a Scam and Send Him to Jail   Chapter 10

    Victor's company collapsed overnight.The verdict came down not long after. Given the massive sums involved and the severity of the crimes, Victor was sentenced to 20 years in prison with fines so steep he'd never pay them off in his lifetime. Larry's entire operation was dismantled along with him, and every key member received a heavy sentence.Tasha had used her own accounts to help Victor move money, which made her an accessory to the laundering. But her cooperation was significant enough that she ended up with probation.She sent me a long message afterward that was mostly apologies and gratitude. She said she'd use the money I'd given her to get her brother through his surgery, then find honest work and start over.Once the company went under, everyone scattered. All those coworkers who'd spent their time kissing up to Victor and Tasha were out of a job, and their reputations in the industry were ruined.As for me, I became something of a legend.Offers poured in from

    I faced the camera one last time."My name is Lindsay Baker. I'm a contracted livestream host at this company. Everything I've done tonight was to protect myself and to expose a crime."All the evidence, including recorded phone calls with Mr. Vaughn, a full source code analysis of the Trojan software, and the original contract containing those predatory clauses, has already been submitted to the police."I held up a notarized document folder."Under Clause 31 of my original contract with this company, if the employer is found to have engaged in criminal activity, the agreement is automatically terminated. As of right now, I'm free."I shut off the stream. And for the first time in what felt like forever, the world went quiet.The police moved in quickly. Victor, Larry, and their entire crew, including the muscle posted by the doors, were all cuffed and taken into custody. Tasha was separated as a cooperating witness and pulled aside for questioning.She stuck to the story w

    "That's all for today's product showcase. Now I'd like to share a story with all of you. A story about this company, and about my boss, Mr. Vaughn."In the monitoring room, the smile froze on Victor's face. He grabbed the walkie-talkie, his voice cracking. "Lindsay! What the hell are you doing? Stick to the !"I ignored him and kept talking."My boss, Mr. Vaughn, owes 50 million dollars to a loan shark. Tonight, he planned to use this livestream to launder the money and pay off that debt."The comment section exploded the second the words left my mouth. At the same time, the main screen behind me changed.The polished product banners were gone, replaced by an animation David had helped me put together. It walked viewers through the software's backend logic step by step, showing exactly how funds were being funneled through a virtual payment gateway and into an encrypted offshore account.Victor lost it, screaming into the walkie-talkie. "Cut the feed! Now! Shut her down!"The

    Tasha's face shifted.I kept pushing."He owes 50 million to a loan shark. He's desperate. What if he actually skips town? And why didn't he wire the money into his own accounts? Why did he need to use your bank card?"Do you really think your accounts can hold up under scrutiny? "Do you believe the story he fed you? Do you honestly think he's going to take that cleaned-up money and pay off his debt like he said, and do you even know what he and Larry Stevens actually have planned?"Every word was a needle, popping the bubble she'd built around herself.Her head snapped up. "How do you know all that?""I know a lot more than you think." I turned off the screen and looked her straight in the eye."Tasha, you need to start thinking about an exit strategy. You can either bet on Victor suddenly growing a conscience, or you can work with me and keep yourself safe. Your call."The color drained from Tasha's face. She knew every word I'd said was true. A man like Victor was never

    "This isn't livestreaming software. It's a Trojan horse bundled with a backdoor, and whoever built it knew exactly what they were doing."It creates a virtual payment gateway. Every dollar that flows in gets rerouted to an encrypted offshore account."And the real kicker? It monitors and uploads a complete log of everything you do on your computer in real time. Lindsay, what the hell did you get yourself into?"I drew a sharp breath."Something big," I said. "Can you crack it? Or better yet, can you modify it into... something else?"David went quiet for a few seconds. "Modify it how?""Can you build in a cap? Once the funds hit 50 million, everything freezes automatically. Or intercept the transfers before they reach that offshore account."David caught on immediately."I can do that. Yeah, I can. But the freeze won't hold. Once they notice, they'll break through it in about 30 minutes. And the second they do, they'll know the virtual account's been tampered with and move the

"Once we finish these next few streams and the money clears, I'll put every dollar back.""But Mr. Vaughn, the payment is already two weeks overdue. I get collection texts every single day. I'm seriously freaking out."Tasha's voice grew more anxious as she spoke.Victor immediately snapped, "I run a massive company. Do you honestly think I'm going to take your money and disappear?""But the bank has already started flagging the large transfers goin
