The Hope of Being Rich

by Paul Allen Curtis

Mr. Marple needed no introduction. His reputation as a bender of the rules was well earned, and we were all very clear on what we were getting into when we hired him. He had reached out to us if memory serves; he saw potential in what we were doing. We were developing an app, essentially a front to harness personal data. Mr. Marple showed us something we could do - something illegal - that would make us rich. We hesitated, but then the hope of being rich got the better of us.
