You're an accountant at a Katanga mining company. By auditing the financial flows, you discover that the real margins on the cobalt exported are ten times higher than what official reports say to the Congolese authorities. The Difference — millions of dollars — transit through European-dominated front companies, direct heirs of colonial financial architectures. Your director, an expatriate, summons you: he knows you know. He offers you a promotion with a triple salary, provided he certifies the accounts as they are. Your native village, four hours away, is still waiting for the school the mine had promised. Your children eat with that salary.
