Romand married a woman who didn’t love him, and they had two children and lived near Lyon. He created two lives.

His fake life - where he told his family that he was researching arteriosclerosis at the WHO, made up work friends, and traveled for business.

And his true life - where he traveled like a tourist to Geneva, and he received money from family, friends, and friends of family, all to “invest”. In reality, he pocketed it and told nobody.
