While Graz was at his wits' end, two other key executors of the British "fake orders" scheme—Lunna and Bosnia—or their subordinates, were equally bombarded with notices from French factories that orders were fulfilled and final payments were due.
The Thiesselin Company in Nantes had already shipped nearly two million francs worth of textiles, setting sail from Marseille, expected to reach Parma in about ten days.
The Bertus Winery in Bordeaux had also completed an order of 1.5 million francs worth of premium wines, and the delivery carts had entered Bavaria a few days earlier.
There were also paper goods, furniture, steam engines, and such, totaling seven transactions, all high-amount contracts that had finished production and were pressuring Austrian or Italian buyers for payment.
