Chapter 15 - Vanessa’s family investment

The Aurelia connection became ugly.
Vanessa had told me her family held:
“a small legacy position.”
Actual indirect economic exposure:
Approximately $31 million.
If Northstar acquired Aurelia under proposed terms, their investment could be worth substantially more.
Again:
Owning an interest was not criminal.
Failing to disclose it fully while lobbying me privately?
Governance problem.
Drugging me to manipulate the process?
Something else entirely.
Her brother had messaged:
If Graham kills this, we are trapped another two years.
Vanessa:
He won’t kill it if he steps back first.
Brother:
What does that mean?
Vanessa:
Leave it alone.
Investigators found no proof her brother knew about medication tampering.

He was not charged in that conduct.
Important distinction.
