Krieg was alleged to be a James Fliescher. Head of a pharmacy chain, in turn connected to Medhall. Father of three, married.
Hm, sounds like a good opportunity for some money laundering.
According to the notes in his block of information, he took a vacation twice a year with his family. The email stated that the zip file had copies of inter-company emails where he’d told his coworkers he went to places like South America or Paris, and flight records showed that he was lying. He always went to London. Twice a year, every year, for nearly twenty years. Not once, during these trips, had Krieg been seen in Brockton Bay.
Huh. Maybe he’s got a secret mistress or something in London. Or secret business, for that matter.
The list went on. And on.
Every piece of information connected to others. Even the info on the mooks like the ones I had met earlier with Kaiser’s business, showing how they were employed as low level employees of Medhall and its derivative businesses. It seemed like everyone had a criminal record except the people at the top.
I’m guessing the only reason more people at the top don’t have criminal records is that they don’t get caught, or if they do, they don’t remain on top.
In short, It was comprehensive enough it would take a special kind of willful ignorance to not buy into what the email was selling.
Yeah, no, it’s pretty damn thorough.
The email had been sent not only to Lisa, but to the Brockton Bay Bulletin, a half dozen other local news stations, and several national ones. Everyone that mattered, and a few that didn’t.
Whoever sent this (I’m currently thinking it’s Coil) clearly wants this to go public. If it were just a matter of wanting the E88 members arrested, they could send it to the Protectorate. Although if it’s Coil, it wouldn’t make sense to send it to the Protectorate – Coil is trying to discredit them, and serving them a massive victory over the E88 on a silver platter isn’t going to help towards that goal.
Also I hope they Bcc’d Lisa. Otherwise all the news stations would now have her email address.
