    That same year, Mr. Cournoyer crashed his Porsche, killing a passenger, and was imprisoned on charges related to the death. Although he served only a year, he was forced upon his release to live in a halfway house in Montreal. In his absence, his enterprise had fallen into “tatters,” Mr. Tiscione said. But Mr. Cournoyer managed to rebuild it, meeting secretly with associates during hurried rendezvous in the Montreal subway and while on work release from the halfway house, where — industrious as ever — he had found a job driving an elderly woman to her medical appointments.

The way this paragraph begins and the way it ends leave me sort of baffled.
