Chapter 13 - Cross Meridian freezes the deal
Within twenty-four hours:
The proposed investment stopped.
Cross Meridian retained independent counsel.
The board created a special committee.
Ethan was removed from:
All company roles.
All advisory positions.
All information access.
His company devices were preserved.
Nobody waited for conviction before cutting access.
That was risk management.
Not criminal punishment.
Cross Meridian issued a private notice to Vale:
It would cooperate with investigation.
The deal would not proceed while facts remained unresolved.
Some of my executives wanted to publicly accuse the entire Cross family.
I refused.
Evidence implicated Ethan.
