As the pressure of Alex's return continued to mount, I desperately needed a diversion, a way to keep his attention away from the intricate financial web I was weaving. After weeks of searching, I stumbled upon an article on an obscure corner of the internet, 4chan. It told the story of a user who had hacked into major corporations and leaked their confidential documents to the public.

An idea formed in my mind: what if I could use this to divert Alex's attention and buy myself more time to clean my money? I decided to challenge the 4chan user, making it seem as if I were an interested party. I wanted to engage this mysterious hacker, discussing the intricacies of advanced security measures and posing a tantalizing dare.

Under the cover of anonymity, I conveyed the notion that Alex's company was impervious to any breach. I implied that his involvement in certain illicit activities was well-hidden, deep within the vaults of the business.

My challenge was a calculated move, designed to bait the 4chan user into targeting Alex's company. By portraying Alex as a key figure in illegal activities, I hoped to divert the hacker's attention toward a false target while I continued my meticulous money laundering operation.

It was a risky gambit, but I had to take it. As I awaited the hacker's response, I hoped that this cunning ploy would successfully keep Alex occupied and unaware of the secrets I was guarding so closely. Time was running out, and my mission was far from over.
