Chapter 8 - Robert Mercer Lost Everything Except His Son
Robert received seven years in federal prison.
Mercer Medical Logistics dissolved.
Employees found other work through a transition fund partly funded by recovered assets.
Donna sold the family home.
Ethan visited Robert twice.
Then stopped for months.
I heard through Natalie.
Eventually father and son resumed limited contact.
Robert wrote me.
One letter.

I kept letter.
Not because forgiven.

Because accurate language matters.
I never replied.
