Now, what is this proposition that Shockley has made?
He's demanded $75,000.
Seventy?
Wow.
Yes.
Unless Adam pays it, in cash, in unmarked bills, Shockley will release to the papers, anonymously, of course.
Well, he'll tell them all about Adam's unfortunate part in that stock-selling racket years ago.
Yeah, which means that if Adam had a single customer left inside of a week, it'd be a miracle.
Then Shockley says, after he's ruined him, he'll kill him.
He'll what?
Unless he pays this money, of course.
He'll make it look like suicide.
After all, under the circumstances...
Well, you know the ruined businessman.
Yeah, yeah, I do know.
Sure, there'll be no reason for anyone to think it isn't suicide.
Exactly.
Wait a minute.
That's the insurance angle, isn't it?
Yes.
