The fur coat, they noted, wasn’t there — and my father-in-law was intrigued. He launched an investigation. I don’t know how he found this out, but he determined that the lawyer had stolen the coat and given it to his mother.

He sent him the photo he had taken of my mother-in-law wearing the coat and told him he knew that he had stolen it.

“I have no interest in sending this photo to the police and ruining your career,” he wrote, “even though you deserve it for stealing from your client. But you need to do one simple thing — release the $300,000 for my grandson. My son-in-law will use it to further his son’s education in any way that he sees fit, without your involvement. You will make the transfer as soon as you receive this email.”
