Kevin Boory — Hector's supervisor at the Health Agency and the source of the bribe payments. Boory owns the cleaning company through which the payments were routed, suggesting he organised the scheme to divert government healthcare funds for personal profit.
Story Arc
Zet investigated Hector after Laylla Fynt's treatment claim was denied without apparent cause. Accessing his case history revealed a pattern of inexplicably denied claims. Further access to his work computer — where he had saved his bank login credentials, a security failure Zet noted — and then to his bank account revealed frequent $500 payments from a cleaning company owned by Boory. The payments were too regular to be a salary and consistent with a bribery arrangement.
Zet's automated appeals process was specifically designed to route escalations above both Hector and Boory, bypassing their influence entirely. Over several weeks, 1,487 cases were retroactively approved. Whether Hector faced any official consequences for his conduct is not yet established.
Open Questions
- Does Hector face any official consequences for his role in the scheme?
- Is his misconduct limited to the Boory arrangement, or does it extend further?
