DR. R. VEGA: "They shrank the evidence exponentially and assumed nobody would work backward. Working backward is our whole profession."
THE COMPOUND FILES // EPISODE 2 // THE LOG WASH
File two. Money enters dirty and leaves clean, and the wash cycle shrinks every trace by the same stubborn factor until the trail is smaller than the audit can see.
PREVIOUSLY The Seed Ledger reduced to one base and one schedule, and the machine was still turning after the warrant.
THE CASE Launderer Mara Vidal ran the wash: each pass divides the traceable amount by the same base, and she counted on auditors quitting after two passes.
Filed by the quartermaster, Pippa George.
