Elena pulled the Vance routing algorithm onto the primary terminal. The screen loaded a blank map. She typed in the siphon logs from the Cayman transfer. Hit enter. The algorithm overlay appeared. Blue lines traced capital movement. Red lines traced freight movement. The patterns matched. She zoomed in on a cluster near Dubai. "Watch the transfer nodes," she said. "The money moves like cargo. Same clearing hubs. Same checkpoint delays. Same routing tags."
Alexander stood behind her. Terminal tablet in hand. He leaned in. "Shell entity A routes to crypto wallet B. Wallet B converts to stablecoin. Stablecoin routes to clearing house C. Clearing house C drops into sovereign trade fund D." He tapped the screen. "The algorithm maps it. Capital flow mirrors freight logistics. You don't need to chase the money. You just track the route."
