Chapter 10 - The Public Ruin
By 10:00 PM, news of the sudden raid on Sterling Capital had leaked to the financial press.
Dozens of reporters, camera crews, and paparazzi swarmed the entrance of the luxury high-rise tower downtown.
The glass doors pushed open, and police officers escorted Dante and Sofia out into the cold night air.
Dante was handcuffed, his white dress shirt crumpled and his trousers stained with bright red sauce. Sofia wept hysterically, covering her face from the flashing cameras as reporters thrust microphones toward them.
"Mr. Vance! Are the allegations of $40 million in embezzlement true?" a reporter shouted.
"Did you forge Arthur Sterling's signature?" another shouted.
Dante kept his head bowed in absolute shame, unable to utter a single word as he was pushed into the back of a police cruiser.
