The trial was funny from my viewpoint. It was very interesting watching as James testified on the computer records against her. I could see his inner struggle at having to testify against his lover yet thinking that she had betrayed him and was planning on skipping out and leaving him behind. All Linda could see though, was that her soulmate was betraying her and sending her to prison. I was filled with glee throughout the three days of his testimony. I watched silently as the love she had for him turned into hate. She did her best on the witness stand testifying on her own behalf. Unfortunately for her, the evidence was too strong against her, and she really couldn’t come up with a credible explanation for it. She will be spending the next 20-years in a federal penitentiary.
As the trial was winding down, it was time to take care of James. I had a really wicked plan for him. One he would not survive. Unfortunately, he would never know why it happened to him, or that it was me. I couldn’t risk that. This would be fun. I had my lawyer modify the divorce documents to consider Linda’s conviction and that she would be in prison for the next two decades. She was served a couple of days later.
I opened a couple of new accounts in Geneva, Switzerland, and the Cayman Islands with links back to James. Using the Dark Web, I left a few subtle footprints, all with a winding trail back to James’s IP address. Ghost was back after 5-years. Sure enough, the hacker chats picked it up. Now for the tricky part. I had to leave a trail, but it couldn’t be obvious. I needed to make it hard enough for them to believe that it was an expert hacker – and believe that it actually was me – but still let them believe that I made enough of minor mistake that they could still follow the trail. I had to route through ten servers in six different countries. Eventually, I fired up the bot army and made my attack on the first bank. I eventually got in, found the two accounts I was looking for and emptied them into James’s new accounts. Once done, I stopped the attack on the bank, severed and erased my link to James’s computer, then got on the Dark Net to watch for a reaction. I wasn’t really expecting anything yet, but it is better to be thorough.
The next morning, another attack to a different bank. Four more accounts were emptied. There was now $20 million in the account that I had set up for James. People were beginning to look for me. They wouldn’t find me, of course, but they would eventually find ‘Ghost’. A few of the dark web hacker boards were lighting up. There was a North Korean group that looked to be on the trail. It looked like the same group that was tracking me five years ago. Time to wrap this up. I went back to the banks. Sure enough, the third one I looked at had the account I was looking for. I bypassed using James’s computer and transferred the $20 Million to another account in Switzerland that I had set up. Then, I erased all fingerprints from that transfer. I wasn’t concerned with the cartel getting that money back. I linked back into James’s computer and made another attack to the bank with the account that had an embedded tracker in it. It was only $2 million this time. The money didn’t matter, only the tracker attached to it did.
