Chapter 11 - The Secret Cayman Accounts Unlocked
Over the next two months, David Cole’s forensic accounting team, working alongside the IRS Criminal Investigation Division, executed search warrants on Arthur’s hidden offshore accounts in the Cayman Islands and Switzerland.
What they uncovered was staggering.
Over the past five years, Arthur had secretly skimmed an additional eighteen million dollars from corporate real estate transactions, hiding the cash in numbered accounts intended for his post-divorce life with Sienna.
Under federal civil asset forfeiture laws and an emergency probate court decree:
Every single dollar of the eighteen million was seized and returned directly to my personal accounts.
Arthur’s luxury sports car collection—including his Porsche Cayenne, his Ferrari 488, and his vintage Aston Martin—was auctioned off by the US Marshals, with the proceeds donated to local domestic violence shelters.
His private country club memberships were revoked, and his personal equity in the firm was liquidated to pay for federal restitution and court costs.

He ended up with zero dollars, zero assets, and a mountain of federal debt.
