Accrued but undistributed income on four point two million dollars, across six years, with a conservative investment policy, came to a little over nine hundred thousand dollars.

That is the number.

Not four million.

Nine hundred thousand, available on a petition, in a probate court, for administrative expenses, months before anybody would look closely — and Fernando Vance owed eleven million dollars, had two frozen accounts, a fraud suit, and a criminal referral in the hands of a district attorney.

Nine hundred thousand dollars does not fix eleven million.

It buys about fourteen months.
