...appointment, this time driving to J.F.K. with just the $2.3 million in the trunk of a different car. Raven was punctual, but he directed Bronfman from one phone booth to another through a wide section of Long Island for four hours-a fairly standard kidnap technique designed to detect the presence of tailing police and prevent the tracing of phone calls. Accustomed to being driven by chauffeurs, Bronfman had difficulty finding his way through strange neighborhoods and traffic.
