The spreadsheet that finally broke someone

Found it yesterday—three years old, buried in a folder labeled 'client X - final'. A single pivot table that didn’t just show the fraud, it laughed at the numbers. I’d forgotten how satisfying it was to see the lie collapse under its own weight. Not because I’m vindictive, but because for once, the math spoke louder than the silence. Still think about the woman who handed me the file with a shrug: 'They said it was just rounding errors.' Like the universe had been quietly lying to itself all along.
