Chapter 6 - DAMIAN’S FIRST DEFENSEDamian’s lawyers issued a statement.
He had not forged my signature.
The stock document was an internal draft.
No shares transferred.
No pledge perfected.
No lender received security in my stock.
All true.
Then:
My duress alert had unnecessarily disrupted legitimate corporate financing and caused reputational harm.
Maybe.
Then:
The funeral confrontation was “a private family dispute grossly misrepresented by selectively circulated video.”
Selective?
Three guests captured him crushing the inhaler.
One captured:
“Choke quietly, peasant.”
Another:
“The empire is mine now.”
His lawyers could not make those sentences elegant.
Damian claimed he thought my inhaler was empty.
I had used it earlier?
No.
He thought it was a prop?
No.
He said he was distraught after Grandfather’s death and acted irrationally for “several seconds.”
That part was believable.
Grief can destabilize people.
But the financial documents predated grief.
So the cases separated.
Physical conduct at the wake.
Share authorization.
Corporate financing.
Estate issues.
Different tracks.
