Chapter 12 - THE FORGED DOCUMENTS LED TO SOMETHING WORSEThe forged deed was only one piece.

One attempted to pledge my Northshore interest as collateral.
Another granted Daniel temporary proxy voting rights.
A third authorized Northshore to reimburse Hartwell consulting fees.
Total paid already:

Consulting agreements.
Management fees.
Shared legal costs.
Insurance reimbursements.

The estimated improper benefit exceeded $27 million.
Margaret called it intercompany allocation.
