Cynthia F. Kremov (also spelled Craymov) is the primary antagonist in the 2000 Lupin III television special *Missed by a Dollar*. She presides over the Bank of the World (B.O.W.), a powerful financial institution characterized as an "Evil, Inc."-type organization that engages in unethical practices like scamming millions and instigating wars for profit. Her leadership is ruthless and relentlessly power-hungry, employing heavily armed mercenaries led by Alex Nabikov. Her core motivation is obtaining a legendary brooch, rumored to grant unparalleled good fortune and potential world domination, historically linked to figures like Napoleon, Lenin, and Hitler. She initiates the central conflict by outbidding Lupin III by a single dollar at a New York auction to acquire a ring crucial for finding the brooch. Cynthia operates as a cerebral and strategic adversary to Lupin, employing complex cons and financial manipulation alongside force. She exhibits personal vulnerability, developing feelings for Lupin after a kiss, shown through repeated lip-touching gestures that influence some decisions. Her ambition drives a plan involving fraudulent oil rights sales and deliberate provocation of global conflict to consolidate B.O.W.'s dominance. Her downfall comes when Lupin outmaneuvers her financially, selling her worthless oil rights under a false company identity, causing her ruin and the collapse of her plans. Her defeat culminates in a final confrontation where Lupin uses a one-dollar coin to counter her aggression, causing her gun to misfire. This act, combined with the financial sabotage, leaves Cynthia morally broken, stripped of power and resources, neutralizing her threat.
