Summary

Chris Smith moved to sunny Orange County, CA to escape the corporate world of Silicon Valley. He was talented and hardworking which earned him a lot of money very quickly in the budding new tech capital of California. But just shy of two years into the start of his successful new company Chris decided to cash in and get out. So what caused the man who had everything to get up and leave those everythings behind. Had he done something he was trying to escape, or was there someone or something he was hiding from?

This is a solved case.
