A little bird has informed me that all is not well in the land of Graham and Anastasia Brackton—a divorce may even be in the cards.
Don’t have a clue who they are?
It wouldn’t surprise me. These two billionaires move at a whole other level than most mortals. Ever heard of Viseon? You bet you have— all those little chips in your phone that make it go pop? Viseon is the global leader in their design and manufacture.
If you’ve been living under a rock and think Viseon was an 80s rock band, you may have heard whispers about the Bracktons’ sprawling Vermont estate, which they constructed on top of a known bird conservation area despite local protests.
Of course, the billionaires won that war…
Regardless of your opinions on Bicknell’s thrushes, their loss of habitation in Vermont’s luscious spruce-fir forests, or the fact that they’re one of the region’s highest conservation priorities, I recently found out that Anastasia Brackton is currently residing in a VIP room at a very hush-hush hospital in NYC.
Why do I care, my darling reader?
Rho Epsilon Beta
Never heard of the elite fraternity founded at Poughkeepsie’s Oakwood College?
More recent members include James Devere.
You’ve heard of him, I assume?
As the one-time VP turned president who’s running for reelection, I should hope so.
Clyde Korhonen— the Canadian billionaire? Also a frat brother.
Tolya Voronov— long suspected leader of the Russian Bratva in Moscow. A member.
Graham Brackton Sr.— you guessed it, a brother.
Brutus Dyers? Ding, ding, ding.
Don’t believe me? Their membership is public record.
When presidents are your brothers, is it any wonder that bird conservation rules get swept away like trash?
Of course, a suspicious mind might wonder if Anastasia knows too much to ever be allowed to divorce Brackton…
What secrets has she amassed in her twenty-three-year marriage to Brackton Sr.? What truths could she share…?
Maybe we’ll never know. Especially if her ‘overdose’ turns fatal.
I’ll keep you updated on her status…
