When Veronica met John, he was the perfect package - successful, kind, romantic. She thought she had met her person. In the beginning, he truly wined and dined her. Nice dinners, random gifts and flowers, then later on in their relationship came the trips all over the world. She had no idea how he made his money, not really anyway. He said something about investments, and she didn’t know about those things so she didn’t know to push him further.

There came a day when Veronica was in John’s office straightening up when came across a piece of mail that she thought had her name on it on the desk. She thought hard about why she could be receiving mail at his home, and nothing made sense. She opened the envelope to find a past due bill for a loan apparently in her name. She couldn’t believe it, bus still didn’t understand what she was looking at or how this happened.

John walked in as she was sitting down, and she’d what was wrong. Veronica showed him the bill and he looked like he had just seen a ghost. Without saying a word, he took the bill and walked out of the room. He came back a few minutes later, seeming in better spirits, as if nothing had happened. She asked him why that loan was in her name? Did he do that? What’s going on? He tried to explain it away by saying that he needed the money for one of his businesses and wasn’t able to take out another loan, and he didn’t think she’d protest.

In the moment Veronica let it go, but after she got home, she decided to investigate. In a matter of 5 of 6 months, she uncovered a Ponzi scheme involving bogus investments that promised ridiculous returns. Around the time she was wrapping up her own investigation, she received a call from the FBI financial crimes division, and told them everything she knew.
