The investigations eventually established a substantial record of financial misconduct connected to Vantage Labs.
Derek was convicted on multiple fraud-related counts and offenses connected to the conspiracy against me. Several people involved in the scheme also faced criminal consequences.

Sienna faced consequences for her participation, although I later learned that her younger brother had been referred to an accredited transplant program, where he could receive proper medical evaluation and treatment.

Not for Sienna.
Not for Derek.
But for the young man whose illness had been used as an excuse to justify something terrible.
He had not chosen what they did.
He deserved a chance to live without someone else being harmed in his name.
