Scandal is rocking the nation’s capital as a web of corruption entwines the highest echelons of power. Senator Mark Hanna’s protégé, a ruthless embezzler, has been apprehended with a staggering $20,000 bail posted by a bank connected to Hanna’s inner circle. Neely, the financial agent of the Cuban postal service, was a close associate of the First Assistant Postmaster General, further muddying the waters of this sordid affair. The trail of deceit leads back to Indiana, where Neely once owned a daily newspaper before selling it to Perry Heath’s brother. The connection between this local bank and the Cuban postal service is too egregious to ignore. The known defalcation already totals over $100,000, with indications suggesting it will balloon to half a million, ensnaring every prominent official of the Cuban postal service. The nation’s trust has been shattered, and it remains to be seen how deep this rotten seed of corruption has taken root.
