Victor Confronts Cane Over Dirty Money
Victor Newman is never one to mince words, and today, he makes his suspicions crystal clear. Cane Ashby sits down with Victor expecting another tense business discussion, but what he gets instead is a direct attack on his empire. Victor claims that Cane’s entire fortune may be built on corrupt foundations. He points back to Cane’s late father, Colin Atkinson, suggesting Colin’s “last great swindle” is the real backbone of Cane’s current success.

Y&R/ Victor confronts Cane
For Cane, the words hit hard. Colin spent years running cons, swindling investors, and chasing shady paydays. But toward the end of his life, Colin claimed to have changed. Cane has always clung to that belief, convinced his father tried to leave behind a legacy of redemption rather than ruin. Hearing Victor dismiss Colin as the same old scammer feels like a personal attack as well as a business one.

Cane quickly goes into defense mode, trying to salvage both his father’s name and his own. He argues that Colin’s help gave him the chance to build something legitimate and that the empire he now runs is clean. But Victor is relentless. He suggests that whatever Colin touched remained tainted, no matter how it was disguised. Victor even hints that he has proof—documents or leads that expose the dirty trail of money.Y&R/ Cane fights to protect his peace
Yet Cane refuses to fold. Even if Victor produces evidence, Cane may reject it as forged or manipulated. His determination to protect Colin’s memory makes him blind to the possibility that Victor could be right. The confrontation leaves Cane rattled but defiant. For him, Victor’s accusations are more than just business—they are a threat to everything he believes about himself and his late father’s legacy. And as fans know, when Victor senses weakness, he rarely lets go.
