Nichols (Day 7)

Nichols was an American businessman hired by Jonas Hodges to coordinate the funding needed to arm General Benjamin Juma in Sangala, a rebel and terrorist leader who lead a coup.

Before Redemption
Using funds laundered through accounts in Abu Dhabi and Eritrea, Nichols washed money for use in Hodges's project of selling weapons to General Juma. He got Chris Whitley, an employee who suffered several hits in the stock market, to manage the work and to remain silent, for large sums of money.

Redemption
Hodges came to Nichols' office and discussed their business concerning General Juma there. When Hodges ordered Nichols to destroy all traces of their money laundering, Nichols called his subordinate Chris Whitley in to eliminate the evidence. Hodges departed. Chris thought that Nichols had merely been embezzling funds, but investigated and found that Nichols and Hodges were connected to someone on the terrorist watch list. Chris was murdered by men working for Hodges when they found out he had leaked Nichols' secrets.
