Chapter 17 - THE FORENSIC AUDIT
Rina’s audit lasted four months.
Findings:
Invalid or disputed proxy extension.
Related-party contracts requiring review.
$42,317 in improper clothing reimbursements.
$31,600 in travel expenses attributed partly to Nina when she was not present.
$18,900 in “beneficiary event costs” that funded family dinners and holiday events.
$14,200 in private tutoring for Vivian billed under a vague “minor family educational support” line linked to Nina’s branch.
That last one had no basis.
Then corporate side:
Proxy-dependent votes.
Monique contracts.
Lender certifications.
No evidence Charles stole millions into a secret account.
Good.
He was not a cartoon thief.

He had built a culture where Nina’s shares were treated as family leverage.
That could be just as dangerous.
