1:35 p.m., later that day—E. Barrett Prettyman Federal Courthouse, Washington, D.C.

I had been standing in a hallway outside a conference room for almost an hour when the door opened and one of the lawyers leaned toward me.

“As soon as the judge gets here and we explain what’s going on, we’ll call you in,” she said in a low voice.

I nodded and continued to wait patiently as she closed the door again. A few minutes later, I saw a man walk out of a door further down the hall, followed by a man with white hair. There was an animated conversation going on between the two men for several moments when another man walked up to the pair. I recognized him immediately as Ned Richards from the Department of Homeland Security.

He had been the one who had so rudely interrogated me after I had captured Mark Gaines back in July.

He said something in a low voice to both the men, sending the hairs on the back of my neck rising.

“I don’t give a damn what they have!” the man with the white hair said loudly in a thick accent that sounded to me like German.

Ned Richards looked around nervously before seeing me standing there. He nudged the white-haired German and whispered something to him. Whatever he said must have been impactful, because the German whipped his head around and looked at me with genuine surprise.

Richards and the German immediately turned before hurrying down the hall and out the exit as the other man returned to the office.

Several more minutes passed before the door on the conference room opened and the lawyer poked her head out again.

“You can come in now,” she said.

As I followed her into the conference room, I noted that Carrie Cantor was in a huddle with a man at the head of the table. She had a piece of paper in front of her, pointing at names—it appeared to be a printout of the account list that Storc had uploaded.

As I went to sit, Ms. Cantor looked over at me.

“Can I get you down at this end, Scott?” she asked. I moved down to her end of the table and sat next to her.

As I was getting settled, the side door opened, and the man who had been talking with the white-haired German came into the room.

“You’d better have a damned good reason to drag me in here on a Saturday,” he said as he closed the door and strode in. But he froze abruptly upon seeing the man Cantor was speaking to. “Joe, what are you doing here? Am I in the wrong room?” The look of confusion on his face was almost cartoonish in its exaggeration.

“No. You’re in the right room. Have a seat,” Joe said.

“Judge Chambers. Would you mind telling me what’s going on here?” the confused man said. “I thought I was called in to hear a motion to block.”

“Judge Gunlock,” Chambers said. “I’ve been called in for a motion to recuse…on you.”

“Nonsense,” Gunlock scoffed.
