Chapter 46: Does anyone dare to confront the IRS?
Ibrahim frowned and said nothing more, but it could be seen from his expression that he was very dissatisfied with the short one-day deadline.
Having said that, David said nothing more, took Nissen and left through the door.
After walking out of World Street and getting into the car, David said: "As for the hacking case and the counterfeit goods case, do you have any solutions here?"
These two cases are related to The case of selling stolen goods is different.
In the case of selling stolen goods, the information provided by the Intelligence Division is quite detailed. It not only contains Ibrahim's personal information, but also his store address, home address and other information, so it is relatively easy to find.
But in the hacking case, the Information Section's information only traced which systems they had been hired to hack into recently and what information they had tampered with. The other information was not very comprehensive.
The same goes for the counterfeit goods case.
According to data, in the Lake District, many valuable items such as jewelry and watches have been stolen from the homes of many wealthy people recently.
The items that were dropped eventually ended up on the black market.
However, no specific information was given about who the target of the crime was.
Nissen pondered for a moment and replied: "There are some ways, but it requires spending some money..."
"Money can be spent, but it must be fast!"
< br>Anyway, there are still more than 50,000 official funds, so David is not worried about spending money.
“Okay, I will arrange it!”
...
The next day, David came to the station as usual, planning to wait for Ibrahim to come to the door.
But after waiting and waiting, until noon, there was still no one in sight.
Nissen on the side couldn't sit still. He immediately logged into the internal network of the Internal Revenue Service and entered Ibrahim's name to search.
But if you don’t check, you won’t know. If you check, you will be shocked.
With an angry look on his face, Nissen turned around and said, "This damn bastard actually transferred all the money in his name!"
David was also stunned when he heard this.
He has already said it so clearly.
This guy actually dares to confront the IRS?
Feeling that he had been slapped in the face, his face became gloomy and he asked: "How much money did he transfer?"
"The several accounts under his name only add up to more than 70,000 US dollars. How about we call the bank and ask them to freeze these funds?"
According to federal tax law, the IRS only needs to suspect Anyone who evades taxes has the right to freeze that person’s accounts, assets and anything of value.
David pondered for a moment and replied: "No, it's only more than 70,000. It's not enough to pay us taxes. Moreover, after the freeze, we still need to go through a lot of procedures with the bank. We don't need to waste it. This kind of time..."
"What do you mean...?"
David smiled slightly and said: "We have already warned him. According to the regulations of the Black Tax Act, yes Enforcement measures can be taken! ”
Nissen also smiled: "I understand!"
...
On the edge of Kegelin Avenue in the Lake District, there is a middle-class community.
The houses in this community are all in a unified European architectural style, neatly arranged and harmoniously colored. From a distance, they look like a pale yellow fairy tale town.
Each house has its own small garden and lawn, with green grass and blooming flowers, giving people a peaceful and warm feeling.
The streets are spacious and clean, with tall trees planted on the roadside. There are casual seats and tables under the trees, and people in twos and threes are chatting.
“This should be here, right?”
At the entrance of the community, Nissen drove in in a Volvo and looked up at the location.
David looked at the signs of each house and said, "Just go straight to No. 8!"
Soon, the two of them arrived at the door of House No. 8.
At this time, an SUV was parked on the roadside opposite the house.
After seeing David and Nissen get out of the SUV, a man wearing a suit and holding a folder also got out of the SUV.
He walked over and said to the two of them: "Are you Inspectors David and Nissen from the Lake District Branch? I am Vecino, the salesperson of Audlin Real Estate Company."
"Hello, Mr. Vecino!"
After the two parties shook hands to get acquainted, Vecino said: "I just heard you say on the phone that I planned to foreclose on the house of a tax evader. Wrong? ”
"That's right!"
David nodded.
In the United States, only death and taxes are inevitable. This sentence is not an exaggeration at all.
No one has ever defaulted on paying taxes to the IRS.
If you don’t pay, the IRS has many ways to make you pay! What David planned to do this time was to sell Ibrahim's house to make up for the tax arrears.
Maybe someone here will say it.
Can someone’s house be sold without the owner’s permission?
Other agencies may not be able to do so, but according to federal tax law, the IRS has this power.
According to the latest black tax bill regulations, this power has been doubled.
Forget about the house.
If the target really has no other valuable items, to exaggerate, you can even sell the head of the household's kidney to pay off the tax.
After all, these people are criminals to begin with, but they dare to default on the taxes owed to the IRS. This is simply adding insult to injury. How can the IRS tell you about human rights?
Vecino asked: "Is there an auction order?"
David took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over.
The so-called auction order refers to a document issued by a judge.
With this document, the house can be sold.
The auction order he got now was issued by a judge affiliated with the Internal Revenue Service.
The reason why the IRS has such great power is not just that it is armed.
A very important point is that it also has its own lawyers, courts, judges and other supporting facilities.
Although the police and FBI have great powers.
But if you want to search the house, even if the other party is just a civilian, you will need a search warrant to go in.
To obtain a search warrant, you need to find a judge.
But the judge, the police, and the FBI are not in the same system. It is not certain whether they will issue it to you easily.
But the IRS does not have this worry, because the judge is one of its own!
Vecino read the document carefully and nodded after confirming that there was no problem: "I have no problem here, let's look at the house first!"
David and Nissen immediately turned their heads and looked at He walked toward Ming's house, crossed the lawn, and rang the doorbell.
Soon, the door was opened.
A woman over fifty years old and wearing a headscarf came out, looked at the three Davids who had arrived, and asked in broken English: "Who are you, what's the matter with you?" "
David showed his tax badge and said: "Madam, we are from the Internal Revenue Service. After investigation, your husband Ibrahim is suspected of tax evasion. Now we have to auction this house to pay back the taxes. Please. Clean up and get out of this house!”
Upon hearing these words, the woman was instantly dumbfounded.
Suspected of tax evasion?
Want to confiscate their house?
What's going on?
“Do you hear that clearly, ma’am?”
The woman came back to her senses and hurriedly defended: "No, my husband is a law-abiding citizen. He cannot be suspected of tax evasion. You can't just confiscate this house!"
David took out the auction order again and said : "This is an auction order issued by Judge Chiesa. If you have any questions, you can go to any court in Las Vegas to appeal at any time!"
After that, David ignored him. , walked in with Nissen and Vecino.
Seeing that there was nothing she could do to stop him, the woman could only take out her phone and immediately dialed her husband’s number.
Pharaoh Watch Shop, in a private room.
Ibrahim was holding a magnifying glass, looking carefully at a string of pearl necklaces in his hands, and said: "There are slight flaws, but it is still a good product. I will give you 3,000 knives!"
"Okay!"
The man who came to sell the stolen goods did not bargain and agreed directly.
After giving the money to the other party and sending the other party away, Ibrahim happily hummed a ditty.
The flaws he just said were of course just a price reduction.
In fact, this pearl necklace is considered to be of high quality, and he can earn at least 20,000 to 30,000 US dollars by reselling it.
"Dududu..."
Just when he was still happy, the phone rang. When he saw it was his wife, he quickly picked it up: "What's wrong Isis?" ?”
“No, Ibrahim, people from the IRS came to our house. They said you were suspected of tax evasion and they wanted to confiscate our house!”
“What? ! ”
Ibrahim was shocked and his eyes widened.
