I Watched My Twin Die. Then I Became Him. | $40M Inheritance Fraud

Описание: One twin died in a plane crash. The other used their identical DNA to steal his $40 million fortune. This is how he fooled biometric scanners, lawyers, and almost got away with it... until their 84-year-old nanny set a trap he never saw coming.

This is the investigation into Thomas and Elias Sterling — identical twins, one a billionaire, the other drowning in debt. When a private jet goes down, the world believes the wealthy brother survived. But the man who walked out of the wreckage had a different plan: to erase his old life and inherit a new one.

In this episode of The Vault, we uncover:

· How he bypassed the most advanced biometric security in the world (the "Iron Gate" system).
· The 3-month preparation: studying mannerisms, voice, and even thermal signatures.
· The one mistake he couldn't avoid: human memory.
· How their childhood nanny, Maria Gable, crafted a simple, devastating psychological trap.
· The final verdict: where is the $40 million now?
