Viktor explains the process to her. Luxembourg, then Cyprus, then Singapore, and finally the Caymans. Four intermediaries. Four jurisdictions that never talk to each other. The "bounce accounts" technique.

"Ma'am, in six weeks, your money will have crossed eight jurisdictions. No French judge will ever be able to trace it. I guarantee it."

Chapter 6 — Viktor
"

At exactly 9:47 AM, Aurélie logs into Kiabi's treasury system. She enters the amount: €100,000,000.00. One hundred million euros. The final sum. Her masterpiece.

The cursor blinks over the "Validate" button. A single click. A fraction of a second. And everything changes.

Chapter 6 — The Big Hit
"

In Miami, nobody asks questions to people with money. That's how it works. You show up with cash, they smile. You buy in cash, they thank you. You exist only through what you spend.

Here, Aurélie is just a rich Frenchwoman. Nobody knows Kiabi. Nobody knows Roubaix. Nobody cares where the money comes from. It exists, therefore it's legitimate.

The Synopsis

"The line between ambition and greed is invisible. Aurélie Bard crossed it without ever looking back."

August 12, 2024. A private jet lands on the scorching tarmac of Figari airport in Corsica. On board, a 39-year-old woman in a Valentino dress, a Van Cleef necklace around her neck. She's returning from Miami, where she lives in a $17 million penthouse.

Three men are waiting for her. Judicial police. International arrest warrant. The charge: the largest embezzlement ever committed by an employee in France.

One hundred million euros.

How did a factory worker's daughter from Mérignac become the biggest fraudster in French corporate history? How did she manage to drain a textile giant's treasury for years without ever being suspected?

From the Bordeaux suburbs to Miami Beach parties, from the back rooms of Kiabi to Fleury-Mérogis prison, this book traces the stunning journey of a woman who wanted to take everything.
