Some stories take years to tell, not because they are difficult to write, but because the truth inside them needs time to fully surface.

Edward DuCoin was an award-winning Wharton Business School-educated entrepreneur navigating a venture seeking growth capital during and beyond the financial crisis in 2008, when a single phone call on a Friday morning changed everything. A Delaware investigator's voice came through the line, not with information, but with laughter. "We got you," he said. "Funny thing, it's Friday. So you're most likely going to spend the weekend in jail."

What followed wasn't a dramatic courtroom showdown. It was something quieter, slower, and far more devastating: a decade-long collision between one man's integrity and a system built not to find the truth, but to close the case.

At the center of it all is a vital question: How does an innocent person end up pleading guilty?

The answer involves a CPA who falsified records and handed them to state regulators. Prosecutors, at the direction of the Delaware Attorney General, under pressure to secure white-collar convictions after the 2008 financial collapse. A public defender who admitted on the record that his office lacked the resources to mount a real defense. And mandatory minimum sentences that made going to trial feel like gambling away years of freedom. Along the way: betrayals that cut deep, a support network that refused to quit, and a comeback that defied every reasonable expectation.

Built from over 20,000 emails and 15,000 documents, Indicted Loyalty Convicted Logic is for anyone who has ever built something, trusted someone, or found themselves facing a system far bigger than they expected.

Edward DuCoin was arrested, but he was indicted for being loyal. He took a plea deal, but the only thing convicted was logic.
