Chapter 14 - THE $4.56 MILLION SECRET
Marcus had thought the secret was $38 million.
It was not.
The real personal target was:
$4.56 million.
Twelve percent.
The rest of the $38 million was camouflage.
Move a large legitimate-looking trust amount into a reserve entity.
Then siphon a smaller portion into Caldwell Meridian.
Why $4.56 million?
Because Diana had a private settlement obligation.
Years earlier, before meeting Marcus, she had personally guaranteed losses connected to a failed investment fund.
Settlement deadline:
six weeks after the wedding.
Amount:
$4.4 million plus fees.
She was not marrying Marcus only for money.
That would be too simple.
She loved the life.
Loved him in her own way.
