The Corwin Merger

The Corwin Merger is a fictitious plot by the Russian military to infiltrate into the national petroleum reserve in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge through laundering of bonds and capital into the stock market as part of corporate merger schemes. The Corwin Merger is halted by the Securities and Exchange Commission based on a theory developed by the Financial Regulatory Agency's investigative wing.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation along with the Department of Justice expands the investigation into the civilian aspects of the murder of Hal Scharff. Hal Scharff was the Chief Financial Officer of a sole source military contractor at Star Satellite Corporation who uncovered a financial ledger detailing Pentagon related funds diverted into a petroleum surcharge program to fund other programs in the Pentagon by inflating fuel prices for sale to each military division.

Parallel to the civilian investigation, a military investigation by the Army Criminal Division was conducted which uncovered the Hal Scharff murder plot to hide the secret program. Plot participants included the Pentagon, Central Intelligence Agency, National Intelligence Agency, and Russian Gee-Ruu agency called Fancy Bear. Star Satellite Corporation was a participant in the cover up plot through investing stocks and developing a tracking system used to spy on the civilian murder investigation by the Baltimore Police Department.
