Alkaitis has been sentenced to one hundred seventy years in prison. 170? But I guess it is fair as it said in the book that he ran a Ponzi scheme. I didn't really know what a Ponzi scheme was until a while ago when I searched it up and it said that it was a scheme where the person takes money from his/her investors and uses it to pay back other people and it would work out but at some point in time, they run out of $

The 40 minutes of reading + the made-up reading for last week's out-of-class reading. We finally know why Alklaitis gets in jail for. And now we're seeing hoe it happened the some of the people involved. Vincent had no idea what to do and now she is on a boat, spending the rest (ish) of her life on the sea. It had become her new home.

The place where I left off is such a cliffhanger. I just learned that Alkaitis has been sentenced to jail for 170 years! What happened? Vincent said that maybe her mother's death was not an accident but intentional and that her brother might've known something that night he decided to write in the window. Maybe Alkaitis was her mother's murderer? But it doesn't make such sense right now.
