There were records of Summit Corporation’s every act of tax evasion, illegal fundraising, stock manipulation, and collusion with officials over the past ten years.
I memorized every detail in my previous life while in prison, word for word, from a man.
He was the former CFO of Summit Corporation — a man who had been both Richard’s confidant and sharpest weapon.
