Chapter 15 - THE AUDIT EXPANDSDaniel initially reviewed eighteen months.

Then three years.
The total questionable activity grew.
Not millions.
Worse because it was plausible enough to hide.
Approximately $287,000 required explanation across:
Bonnie’s debit activity.
HM Property Services.
Mason’s invoices.
Gemma’s miscategorized support.
Direct cash transfers Andrew approved.
Of that, Daniel believed roughly $126,000 had clear legitimate family-support purposes.
Medical.
Housing.
Childcare.
Taxes I knowingly helped cover.
About $161,000 remained disputed or unsupported.
That was still not the same as stolen.
Some could be gifts I had implicitly authorized.
Some could be marital spending Andrew had legal authority to make.
Some could be fraudulent.
Categories mattered.

Daniel refused to call it theft.
I appreciated him for that even when I wanted a simpler word.
