Plot twist:

10) The CEO was really an actor... hired by the "wife", who masterminded the whole thing

Alternative plot twist:

10b) Both the CEO and wife are hired actors. The head of the orphanage was the mastermind




SCP Twist: the orphanage itself was the mastermind; it manifests when a blockchain fintech startup launches and exists solely to de-materialise the founders and redistribute crypto funds. The children of the orphanage are yet to be identified, though it is speculated that they are the disappeared fintech founders.


Plot twist: the adoption of the orphans is in fact the canonical blockchain transaction and the recent slowdown in verifications is due to a lack of orphans. This need for more orphans is the fuel for global warfare ultimately turning the purpose of humanity into that of being slave to the blockchain.


This sounds like something Kojima would write for another Metal Gear game.


More plot twist - (taken from cbc article) "Government records also reveal that Robertson (wife of Gerald Cotten) has used three family names.

Deeds for properties she bought in 2016 show she was once known as Jennifer Forgeron. On Dec. 1, 2016, Nova Scotia's Royal Gazette announced she was changing her name from Jennifer Kathleen Margaret Griffith to her current name, Jennifer Kathleen Margaret Robertson."

Forgeron? Who uses that as a fake name?


Sounds like a succession of "almost bad" names: "Robertson" (robber), "Griffith" (grifter/grifteth?), "Forgeron" (forger)


Aha, so it's like one of those movie plots where the villain thinks they're so much smarter than everybody else, they just have to drop hints everywhere.


> The head of the orphanage was the mastermind

The orphans are the mastermind. The headmaster was nothing more than two kids in a suit. They're all on a beach sipping capri sun playing nintendo switch.


They had a long day at the business factory, and just want to relax and watch R-rated movies for a while.


Hey look it's uhhh.... Vincent ... um... Adultman!


And he would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for us meddling kids...
