Chapter 6 - The Signature
Forensic review took four days.
Marcus’s signature had been copied from another corporate resolution.
The electronic certificate used Anthony Bell’s law-office account.
Marcus did not sign the amendment.
The amendment changed the debt schedule.
Created an early payment default.
Expanded Northstar’s conversion rights.
And designated Caleb Ross as immediate board observer upon default.
It was not valid simply because somebody attached a signature.
But challenging it would take litigation.
Meanwhile, Northstar sent notice:
Covenant breach.
Elise replied:
Fraudulent document disputed.
Northstar’s lawyers denied knowledge.
Graham Vale claimed Ross acted outside authority.
Everyone separated themselves.
That was how sophisticated misconduct worked.
Nobody owned the whole act.
Each person owned a small piece.
Then Anthony Bell landed in Toronto.
Canadian authorities did not arrest him.
No warrant yet.
He checked into a hotel.
The next morning, through counsel, he contacted federal investigators.
He wanted to talk.
Not because conscience arrived.
Because Pike had cooperated.
Anthony knew evidence was moving faster than he could.
He claimed Caleb Ross designed the plan.
Ross claimed Graham Vale wanted control of Carter Sports.
Why?
Not just my earnings.
My media rights.
Carter Sports controlled my documentary rights, apparel licenses, international sponsorship approvals, and future fight-management option.
If Northstar converted the debt, those rights became leverage.
Estimated value over five years:
Potentially forty million dollars.
I stared.

My own image was worth more as collateral than the gym.
No wonder everyone kept calling it “business.”
