Chapter 6 - REBECCA'S ACCOUNT
Rebecca’s marriage to Adrian was not romantic anymore.
They had been separated emotionally for years.
But not legally.
Not financially.
They had a postnuptial agreement.
Hayes Family Capital remained jointly controlled.
Major transfers above $500,000 required dual approval.
Rebecca had not approved Claire’s payments.
So how did they happen?
Adrian used a category called:
strategic retention advances.
Permitted up to $499,999 per transaction.
Five transfers.
$480,000.
$475,000.
$245,000.
$390,000.
$410,000.
Different dates.
Different entities.
Same purpose.
Avoid Rebecca’s approval threshold.
Rebecca’s attorney called it:
structured circumvention.
Adrian called it:
authorized liquidity management.
Both descriptions mattered.
Then the signatures.
One transfer carried Rebecca’s digital approval token.

She had not used it.
That became the first potentially criminal issue.
