In other words, God's Banker's final days. The answer was like a black box, hiding footage that could explain how and why it all came crashing down. Up until writing this episode, I thought I'd have to piece together that black box from news articles and history books. But then, I heard back from the last known person to see Calvi alive.

But then I understood and I saw the patterns. The days I woke up burning fat, I had steady energy. I was more focused. No mid-afternoon crashes. The days I woke up burning carbs, on the other hand, I was a little more foggy, a little more sluggish. And here's the part that really matters. Lumen doesn't just tell you what's happening.

Okay, in my hotel room, about to go see Vitor. Actually, Vitor's lawyer. And we're going to sit on the side of a street because Vitor is not telling us where he lives, which is bad for the blood pressure of those who love you. Okay, let's see what happens.

It's fall 2023, and I'm waiting to meet Silvano Vitor, a former contrabandiere, or contraband smuggler. who was also the last man we know of to see Calvi alive, the man responsible for watching over Calvi in his final days. Vitor hasn't sat down for a recorded interview in 40 years. And even then, the questions he answered were mostly bureaucratic.

Vitor hasn't sat down for a recorded interview in 40 years. And even then, the questions he answered were mostly bureaucratic.

I was desperate to speak to him, to ask him why did Calvi flee? What or who was he running from? If there was anyone Calvi had confided in during his final days, I suspected it might be Vitor. And so I spent months and months trying to wrangle Vitor. First, he was down to talk. Then he wasn't. Then he wanted his lawyer to join, but I'd have to pay the lawyer. Then I thought he'd ghosted me.
