Judex : Mr. Favraux's fortune, like that of many others, has its origins in the Panama scandal. Your father was at that time just a stockbroker's clerk. And then, fate placed in his possession -- I'd rather not say how -- certain documents that were very compromising for certain high-ranking politicians and financiers. With those documents, he had no trouble obtaining the funds and backing to carry out his first major business deals.
