Reclaiming two decades of lost time isn't easy. There's a lot of paperwork. While most folks in their young 20s these days are used to the internet making bureaucracy easy, Balthazar didn't grow up with that ease. Triplicate carbon paper, form filing, doucmentation, this is all easy. Resurrecting himself legally was something that lawyers helped him with, but reclaiming accounts and other aspects of his life is problematic. So it's no surprise that despite being officially alive in the last few years, it's still taken him this long to work through the process of reclaiming basics like bank accounts.
One of which was still open in his name. Despite earning interest all this time, it only contains a few hundred dollars. His college savings fund, virtually emptied not long after his cryostasis began, but thanks to daily changing interest and market prices, not emptied entirely. A few dollars were left by the time trades occurred to cash out, so the account has been open all along.
Transaction history arrived today, printed from what appears to be photographic records. The bank charged a hefty fee for backdated transaction history here. The money was transferred out of his savings account, five digits worth in 1990, all his blue collar parents had successfully scrounged together. They were incredibly proud of themselves having set Crindy up, the football scholarship was just gravy. But the transfer that emptied the account wasn't to another account in the same bank. His parents only used one local credit union... the transfer was to another account, DDXCryo.
The bastards who froze him.. also stole from him. Crindy had "invested" in the fraudster scientists' operation, and it would be decades before they were brought to justice. His parents' hard efforts to save despite an oil-crushed Reagan-era Louisiana economy... his whole family had been danced on.
Furious, Balthazar reached for his phone, found his attorneys on speed dial. There was more revenge to be extracted.
