Sticky Maple Fingers: Episode 4 - The Federation Strikes Back
The Federation has entered the chat. And they’re not happy.
With millions in syrup missing and the black market buzzing, the FPAQ finally makes its move—unleashing raids, tracing barcodes, and hunting for barrels that vanished in plain sight. But by the time they act, the syrup is already gone, the money’s in motion, and the thieves have a head start.
Episode 4 dives into the digital breadcrumbs, the logistical loopholes, and the sudden storm of arrests that shook the maple world. Was this a cleanup? A crackdown? Or just damage control?
Hundreds of barrels recovered. Dozens of players exposed.
But one sticky question remains:
Why did some barrels never turn up at all?
🍁 Sticky Maple Fingers continues.
Press play. The Federation isn’t playing around anymore.
