Chapter 72 Family Friend

• The first time Seamus Braddock heard about the situation regarding Cormac Sullivan, he was certain that someone had done the man wrong. Because Braddock knew him, and the Sullivan he knew wouldn't put his family in a dire position, let alone dare to embezzle millions of his client's funds, and the news even talking about foundations being tangled in the scheme.
• Braddock was not aware of what was happening to Sullivan until it was too late, thinking that he has his ways to get out of his mess. But then Sullivan's lawyer called him for a favor. The old family friend wanted him to take in his daughter, his lawyer had explained that during his trials Mrs. Sullivan had passed away due to a heart condition, leaving his daughter and a significant amount of hospital bills. Bills that Sullivan was not able to pay since his accounts and assets were seized by the government.
• Seamus's dad was close with Sullivan, in the first year of Sullivan opening his office, his family had done lucrative business with him. The Braddock had laundered their money, effectively and efficiently. Being on the shady side of the business it was always good to fly under the government radar and to do so Sullivan had helped them to put their money and invest in shell companies. That was in the beginning, now, thanks to Sullivan's hard work his family was well off and never had a near miss with any government agencies.
