Kylan’s first call the next morning was to a woman named Renata Osei, a former federal prosecutor turned private consultant who specialized, he told me, in exactly the kind of financial conspiracy cases most law firms didn't have the appetite to pursue.
"She left the Department of Justice four years ago after a case fell apart when a key witness was intimidated into silence," Kylian said, as we waited in his office for her to arrive. "She's spent every year since building a private practice specifically to go after networks the government moves too slowly to touch."
Renata arrived precisely on time, sharp-eyed and unhurried in a way that reminded me faintly of Danika, the particular calm of someone who had built a career out of not being rattled by the scale of what she was told.
