But that lighthearted reading was insensitive. It overlooked the malevolence that infused the crime. I could tell that for all her good-natured self-mockery, Laurence still suffered the consequences of the abuse dispensed by the Badische boys.
We weren’t the only two Cesar put through the wringer. As an exclusive liaison to the Badische Trust Consortium, he tried to broker at least a dozen dead-end deals. Besides Laurence’s ill-fated loan, there was the $200 million agreement for a hundred-bed
...charity hospital in Belize. The $400 million for an oceanfront development in North Carolina. The “irrevocable $100 million funding commitment” intended to transform a derelict Long Island scrapyard into a tire-recycling facility.
Cesar helped the prince sign agreements with an Arizona real estate developer, a German plastics manufacturer, and a Japanese inventor of an underwater bonding agent similar to Krazy Glue.
The more I studied the dossiers, the more I came to realize that the spanking Barbara Laurence received was neither the cruelest nor the most enduring dispensed by the Trust.
