Andrew accepted a plea arrangement after providing complete BrightNest accounting records.

He admitted he knew some invoices were false.

He did not know Victoria was forcing Emma to provide childcare until later.

When he learned, he still did not report it.

Same mechanism.

He paid restitution.

Lost his financial-services license.

Served a period of custody followed by supervised release.

Daniel refused to meet him.

No need.

Not every betrayal required a final conversation.
