Proof of Dominion

The crash wasn't a glitch. It was a demonstration.

FBI Special Agent Alexandra Morgan knows market manipulation when she sees it. A former Wall Street trader who lost everything to gambling addiction, she's spent three years rebuilding her life and career investigating the financial criminals she once worked alongside. So when cryptocurrency markets flash crash 26% in forty-three seconds-then recover just as fast-she recognizes the signature of control, not chaos.

Her investigation leads to Dominion Labs, a tech company building "emergency governance protocols" for blockchain networks. The pitch sounds legitimate: infrastructure that can stabilize markets during crises, emergency systems that activate when traditional finance fails. But Alex sees what the marketing conceals. These aren't safety rails. They're the mechanism for a takeover.

David Blackstone, Dominion's brilliant CEO, hasn't just built technology that can respond to financial crises. He's built technology that can create them. Engineer a crash, demonstrate perfect recovery, and position yourself as the only solution to a problem you manufactured. His plan is elegant, audacious, and terrifying: convince the G20 to adopt Dominion's infrastructure by proving that private control is more stable than democratic oversight.

But Alex isn't investigating alone. A terrified whistleblower provides evidence from inside Dominion. An SEC analyst shares classified concerns. And her FBI chief, sensing career-ending politics, gives her room to work off-book. Together, they piece together a conspiracy that reaches into Treasury, corrupts federal investigations, and targets seventeen nations for "voluntary" adoption of infrastructure that will make Blackstone untouchable.

The only problem? Proving intent. Every piece of Dominion's infrastructure is technically legal. Emergency protocols, validator coordination, algorithmic crisis response-all positioned as innovation, not crime. To prosecute Blackstone, Alex needs more than technical evidence. She needs his words, his plans, his explicit orders.

When a second demonstration crashes markets with G20 observers watching, Alex faces her hardest choice: intervene immediately and lose the evidence of intent, or let the attack play out and document the crime while real people lose real money. It's the kind of calculated risk that her gambling addiction once made her terrible at. But three years of recovery have taught her something crucial: some bets are worth taking when you've done the work.

The case that follows spans courtrooms and Congressional hearings, protective custody and witness intimidation, forensic blockchain analysis and recorded confessions. Alex must navigate a corrupted task force, protect sources who risk their lives to testify, and build evidence that can withstand the best defense attorneys money can buy.

But even if she convicts Blackstone, the technology survives. The infrastructure exists. The playbook is written. And somewhere in Switzerland, a new company is building Dominion 2.0-smarter, more patient, and learning from every mistake their predecessor made.

PROOF OF DOMINION is a techno-thriller about the new frontier of financial crime, where the weapon isn't a gun but infrastructure, where the target isn't a bank vault but democratic control, and where stopping one conspiracy might only delay the inevitable.

Because whoever controls the rails controls everything.
