A daily story · the comments decide
Somebody wired you $25 million. By mistake.
It belongs to a cartel. The bank flagged it in minutes. They'll notice in 72 hours. Every night at 7pm ET a new part drops, and the majority of the comments decides what you do next.

The story is fiction.
These aren't.

FAQ
Questions
Is this real?
The story is fiction. The money rules in it are real and sourced — every part has a case file with the rule and its sources.
How do I vote?
Comment your choice (one word) under that part's reel on Instagram. The majority writes the next part. Only your most recent comment counts.
When do new parts drop?
Every day at 7pm Eastern on Instagram. Turn on post notifications so you don't miss the vote.
What is the Founder's Pass?
A one-time pass that puts your Instagram @ on the investigator's case board in the next part, gives you a Founder number for life, a place on Most Wanted, and the season Rulebook.
When does my name go in?
Names lock at 3pm ET on drop day. Buy after that and you're on the next part's board.
