Alexander reached the offshore trustees in thirty-one hours.
He flew to Geneva personally, carrying the full documentation of the bridge funding, the Damian investment records presented in their actual context, and a three-hour presentation that Tyler had helped him build and that laid out the Kingsley-Wilder alliance in terms that the trustees — conservative, old-money, institutional in their caution — could evaluate against the alternative of Nolan's narrative. He was measured. He presented facts. He answered every question fully and did not editorialize.
The trustees did not commit immediately, but they agreed to a sixty-day review before acting on any competing claims. That was enough. Sixty days was a wall between Nolan and his play, and a wall was what they needed.
