My bestie is being sponsored by a crypto big shot (Part 8)
After the wife situation, his attitude didn’t change. He still shows up three to four times a week. It’s like nothing ever happened.
But one night, he told her another thing.
"My wife is moving assets."
He was lounging on the couch, just lit a smoke.
He said he recently checked the company’s finances and found several suspicious transactions. Digging deeper, he discovered that his wife had gradually been shifting money into several accounts he didn’t know about over the past six months.
"She registered a company in Singapore under her mom’s name. Transferred 20 million into it."
"There’s 5 million U missing from the cold wallet. The financial records say 'liquidity allocation'.
"For the house in Singapore, she took my name off. I thought I was signing a loan renewal document."
"For the kids’ education fund, she changed it from joint ownership to solely hers."
"Corporate structure adjustment. My voting rights diluted from 55% to 48%."
He listed it all out, but he didn’t even notice when the smoke burned down to the filter.
He said: "She’s preparing for divorce. But she won’t bring it up first. She wants to take everything before I do. That way, she’s the passive party. Money secured, reputation intact."
My bestie asked: "What will you do?"
He said: "I’ve thought about it for a long time."
"I need you to help me store some things."
He started transferring money into her wallet. First, 500,000 U. Then, 1 million U. Third time, 2 million U.
He said: "Just keep it here for now. She won’t be able to trace it back to you."
At one point, her wallet held up to 8 million U.
When she told me, I said: "Do you know what your role is right now?"
She asked: "What?"
I replied: "A human cold wallet. If things go south, that money won’t be under his name. It’s in your hands. You’re the firewall."
She said: "But he said he’d give me 10% after it’s all done."
"10% of 8 million is 800,000 U."
I said: "What if he changes his mind?"
She said: "He won’t. He needs me."
I didn’t say anything more.
8 million U. It’s not hers. It’s sitting with her. Like holding a bomb.
