The day I packaged up all the evidence of Victor's company's underhanded operations and sent them to three major media outlets and the economic investigation department, the sky was overcast. Dark, heavy clouds hung so low they felt like they were pressing right overhead, and the wind howled sharp enough to rattle the window frames. The weather forecast had warned of a torrential rainstorm hitting that night. I sat by the window, eyes fixed on the gloomy sky outside as I flipped through and cross-checked the final batch of documents page by page. Bribery records: Seven separate payments, adding up to over 4.5 million USD, wired to four government officials. Tax evasion: Over 17.7 million USD in unpaid taxes siphoned off over three years, hidden using fake invoices and offshore accounts
