David Arrington spent his life quietly amassing some wealth and living within his means while preparing to retire. A venture capitalist broker who worked with large firms and large donors, he found money for those who needed it, but didn’t have a sure thing. He bet on the business and got his venture capitalists to put up money with a large or nothing return. A new client called for his services and this client as it turned out, was a friend from high school who had a heart of gold and good money return, but worked on a side of the law that David was not used to.
