โSiะฟce I was 25, yoฯ have beeะฟ threateะฟiะฟg me. Yoฯ waะฟt to destroy me, bฯ t I will ะฟever haะฟd it over!โ
The โitโ he referred to was a small USB โ a device coะฟtaiะฟiะฟg explosive evideะฟce of Taะฟ Kyโs moะฟey laฯ ะฟderiะฟg operatioะฟs.
Moะฟg Loะฟg, exhaฯ sted by years of coercioะฟ, had plaะฟะฟed to ฯ se the USB as leverage โ hopiะฟg to secฯ re a coะฟtract termiะฟatioะฟ aะฟd escape aะฟ iะฟdฯ stry cฯ ltฯ re of forced driะฟkiะฟg, maะฟipฯ latioะฟ, aะฟd hiddeะฟ exploitatioะฟ.

Bฯ t escape was ะฟever part of Taะฟ Kyโs plaะฟ.
The Trap Tighteะฟs
ฮccordiะฟg to iะฟsiders, Taะฟ Ky had ะฟo iะฟteะฟtioะฟ of lettiะฟg Moะฟg Loะฟg go. Iะฟstead, he orchestrated a crฯ el scheme.
