The Crime
A few months prior to the case Furio Tigre, owner of the loan shark Tender Lender was in a car accident with Viola Cadaverini. The crash barely wounded him but Viola had to have surgery performed to the cost of $1,000,000. Her grandfather and an extremely powerful figure in the criminal underworld Bruto Cadaverini demanded he pay him the cash in exchange for his life. Furio started a relationship with Viola in an attempt to soften the blow and employed her.

At first he started calling in the debts of Jean Armstrong (owner of Tres Bien), Glen Elg (computer programmer at Blue Screens, Inc. and a few others. However, the amount he was recieving was not enough. Glen, desperate to repay his debts before the deadline, took up gambling. However, that only had the effect of worsening his debts so as a last resort he created a powerful computer virus, worth more than enough to pay off Viola's medical bills. Him and Tigre met up at Tres Bien but the plan backfired when he won a moderate amount on the lottery, enough to pay off his debts but not close to what Tigre had to acquire. Desperate, Tigre poisoned him in order to get the virus, blackmailing Jean via his own debts to Tender Lender to say he never saw Tigre. Afterward when Victor Kudo entered the cafe, Tigre and Viola faked the murder again without Tigre on the scene. Tigre pinned the murder on waitress Maggey Byrde. Finally, Tigre masqueraded as Phoenix at Maggie's trial to ensure she would get a Guilty verdict.
