Chapter 276: Swiss Bank has tolerated you for a long time!
After explaining the results of the trial, David returned to the bureau.
In the afternoon, there was a knock on the door of the director's office. David, who was dealing with something, immediately said: "Come in!"
The person who came was Moody, a tax inspector in the bureau. Niyin reported as soon as he entered the door: "Director, we have just found out that the financial funds of Purdue Pharma and other holding companies of the Sackler family are all involved in a large amount of fraud. This 13 billion fine is basically We can't collect much."
David was startled when he heard this, and then asked: "Then just seize all their company's assets, equity, etc., and then use them for auction to cash out. ”
This is also the consistent practice of the Internal Revenue Service. If the target really can't come up with the money, they can auction any valuable items of the other party to use it as taxes or penalties.
“We wanted to do this, but we found it difficult to do it!”
“How should I say?”
David’s eyes were slightly confused.
“Take Purdue Pharma as an example. Although this company is controlled by the Sackler family, their ownership structure is a bit complicated. The same is true for their other companies. If certain If you want to auction it directly, you will have to litigate with various companies and shareholders, which is very time-consuming and laborious.”
Mudiniin explained.
"Is that so..."
David held his chin. Equity structure was not his expertise, but since Mudini said so, it should not be the case. Is there something fake? Then he said: "Then don't start with equity. They are all extremely rich. They should have real estate, cars, or collections. Just start with these!"
"There are some, but we have checked. Their total assets in the United States are only 1 billion US dollars, but the fine is 13 billion..."
" Wait..."
David seemed to have thought of something key and asked: "As far as I know, the Sackler family has withdrawn more than 20 billion in funds from Purdue Pharma's account alone, although it was later revealed that the scandal handed over billions There should be a fine for settlement, but there should be a lot of cash. Where did the money go?” The more detailed financial problems of the Koehler family were deceived by some of the data he forged, but now this screening has revealed that they quietly transferred most of the funds between 2016 and 2022. Get out..."
"Transferred to where?"
"Swiss Bank."
"Swiss Bank again!"
David frowned. In many of the cases he had handled before, it was because many prisoners transferred their money to Swiss banks that they received a lot less.
Unexpectedly, this time the fine imposed by the Sackler family once again involved the bank.
But having said that, this time is different from the past. This is a fine of 13 billion. Now everyone has been arrested, but in the end they can't even collect half of the fine. That has become a joke!
After thinking for a while, David said: "Go and notify the prison, and tell me that I want to go over and meet the Sackler family now."
"Understood!"
...
In the suburbs of Los Angeles, a prison under the jurisdiction of the Internal Revenue Service.
David and his party arrived here, and then came to an interview room.
I saw Arthur, Mariano, and Theresa already sitting here. At this time, they not only changed into uniform prison uniforms, but also shaved their heads, making them look like Looks like a prisoner.
“How about you three, are you used to the life in prison?”
"I'm used to living a luxurious life in the upper class. It's quite different to live like this once in a while!"
Arthur said with a smile, as if he didn't come here to serve a sentence, but to experience life. Same.
This appearance also made David confused again. In the court until the sentencing, the Thacker family was still very calm, and they are still the same now in prison.
It seems that the reassurance they took is really quite big?
What exactly is it?
After thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't figure it out. David was too lazy to think about it. He explained the purpose of coming here first, and then he said: "Really, that's good. Do you know why I came to you?"
"Haha..."
Hearing this, Arthur just smiled, while Mariano and Theresa on the side seemed to burst out laughing, as if they knew very well where David was coming. Purpose.
“Fuck you!”
Nissen on the side could not bear such anger, and quickly wanted to go up and teach them a lesson, but David reached out to stop him, he said : "What's so funny?"
"Of course it's funny. You want to fine us 13 billion US dollars in court, but if you can't collect it in the end, wouldn't it become a joke?"
As expected, Mariano knew very well what David wanted to do with him. of.
"So, I am here this time to ask you to cooperate and call the Swiss bank to transfer the assets back."
"Hahahaha..."
Mariano and Theresa couldn't help laughing again, but while laughing, they also looked at David as if he were a fool.
They wondered if there was something wrong with David's mind. The reason why Sackler ended up like this was all caused by the bastard in front of them.
Now you expect them to cooperate?
What an international joke!
“Is it that funny?”
David said lightly.
"Go back and clean up the 'tatters' we left behind. Maybe we can sell it for some money!"
Mariano continued to mock.
"You should know that if you refuse to cooperate like this, we can impose additional penalties on you. Maybe you will be fined even if you don't have a hair left!"
"Then you should be punished. If you can be punished, you won’t come here to kneel and lick us!”
Mariano Teresa and Arthur were not panicked at all, because they were afraid of being sanctioned by the Ministry of Justice, so they had already done so! Most of the assets were transferred to Swiss banks.
The Swiss Bank has a history of more than 150 years since its establishment.
In these 150 years, I have never heard of anyone other than the owner of the assets taking away a dime from it.
Not even the IRS!
This is exactly why they dare to be so arrogant now!
“Don’t think that if your assets are placed in a Swiss bank, there is nothing I can do to you!”
This time the three of them did not laugh again, but it could be seen from their expressions that they were not afraid of David's threat at all.
“Believe me, you will regret the decision you made today!”
These three people are obviously bastards who have become determined by the scale, so there is no point in saying more. So after David said these words, he stood up and left the interview room.
“Idiot, no matter how powerful your IRS is, it is only limited to the United States. How can you go across borders and force Swiss banks to hand over their money?”
After David left, Mariano couldn't help but mock again.
Although they have been sent to prison now, at least they don't have to worry too much about their assets.
As for the prison term, David can add it as he pleases. Anyway, as long as the president pardons him, everything can be eliminated!
Wait until they get out and see how the outside world laughs at David and the IRS.
To be honest, they really want to see him incompetent and furious!
……
After returning to the Municipal Bureau of Internal Revenue office, the faces of Nissenbaki and others looked a little heavy.
The Sackler family is unwilling to cooperate, so it is indeed difficult to collect the fine. Although these three people will be sent to prison, it will still make them feel like they have eaten shit. nausea.
After all, the important thing for the IRS is to make money and send people to jail. This is just an incidental punishment.
But this is not the key point. The key point is that now that someone is caught and the fine cannot be collected, it is really a joke.
“Listen, send me a notice to the Swiss Bank.”
"Ah? What notification?"
Nissenbaki and the others broke away from their thoughts and looked at David with some confusion.
"Just ask them to help me liquidate the assets of the three Sacklers, and then hand them over to us!"
In the past, many of the assets of Rodgorski and others could not be collected. , David wanted to attack the Swiss Bank, and now that the Sackler family incident has come out, this can no longer be delayed. "Huh?"
Upon hearing this, Nissen, Bucky, Simmons and others were stunned.
Swiss Bank is the most reputable and safest bank in the world!
Although the IRS is extremely powerful in the United States, how can it control others?
Ignore this announcement and it won’t be useful. I’m afraid it will make a lot of people laugh.
"Director, this announcement cannot be issued. It is a Swiss bank, not our local bank..."
Simmons, who came back to his senses, reminded carefully.
"I know, but the fine from the Thackle family will not be collected?"
"That's not what I meant, Director..."
"Then go and notify , it’s just a Swiss bank, there may not be a time to bow your head!”
“Yes”
After Simmons turned around and left to do this, David said to Nissen: "If you do this, help me get information about Swiss Bank branches in our country and other assets."
When he heard this, Nissen, who had been muttering in his heart just now, suddenly realized. He said, how could the Swiss bank compromise because of their IRS.
But you must know that UBS, as the most famous bank in the world, also has branches and other banking assets in the United States.
If they can find out some problems with the bookstore and threaten them, they may not be able to force the Swiss banks to surrender and make them hand over the assets of the Sackler family!
In an instant, Nissen understood David's thoughts, and he immediately turned around and left in high spirits.
...
Not long after, a notice and announcement from the Los Angeles City Bureau was issued, instantly shocking the world.
The reason is simple, because the content of the announcement is just as David instructed, requiring Swiss banks to liquidate the assets of the Sackler family and thereby hand them over to the IRS authorities.
"Ward's Law, the IRS requires Swiss banks to transfer customers' assets to them, are you right?"
"The IRS has the power to freeze major banks and institutions in the United States. The funds are limited to the United States. They are Swiss banks. Why should they listen to the IRS? ”
"The Swiss Bank has been established for more than 100 years, and now it controls 26% of the world's cross-border funds. What does it rely on? It's reputation. How can they cooperate with the IRS to liquidate and hand over the assets of their clients!"< br>
“…”
On all major social platforms and software, people are making a fuss.
But no matter how noisy, almost everyone has the same point of view.
That is UBS. As a century-old bank and the most reputable bank in the world, it is impossible to compromise with the IRS.
Washington, Internal Revenue Service
"Deputy Director Donald, something big happened again, it's like this..."
After hearing what he said, Donald was stunned.
What the hell?
The Sackler family was unwilling to cooperate in handing over the fine, and then David directly issued a notice asking the Swiss bank to transfer the assets?
Isn't this nonsense?
After a while, Donald calmed down a little.
Because he knew that David was not an impulsive person, maybe he had some thoughts in doing this, right?
"Does the director know about this news?"
"Probably not yet."
Donald stood up immediately and came to the director's office as quickly as possible.
Sure enough, at this time, Obadiah was concentrating on sorting out this month's financial statements and had not yet received notification of this major news.
Seeing Donald's arrival, he immediately asked: "What's wrong, Deputy Director Donald?"
"That's it, Director, after the trial is over..."
Donald will The assets of the Sackler family had been transferred, and then David issued a notice requesting Swiss Bank to cooperate in the transfer of assets.
"What's the situation? How could it be related to the Swiss Bank!"
After hearing this, Obadiah's face also darkened. After all, he is the most reputable bank in the world. If he cooperates with you Okay, doesn’t that ruin your own brand?
“Director, I think David must have had no choice but to do so. The Sackler family must have transferred a large amount of funds to Swiss banks, and our fines have been issued again. If we can’t collect them, we’ll be in trouble. There is no light!”
Donald has already guessed that David would do this because the Sackler family currently does not have enough funds in the United States to pay the fine.
Otherwise, there would be no need to issue this announcement.
After hearing Donald's words, Obadiah's dissatisfaction dissipated a lot, and then asked: "Then have all the assets of the Sackler family in the United States been transferred out? Doesn't it mean that they still have real estate and Purdue Pharma? Is there still a lot of money on the company's books?"
"It should be gone, or they had falsified the company's financial situation before, otherwise David would not have to accuse the Swiss Bank."
Obadiah held his chin with his right hand. If this is the case, then it is understandable that David is in trouble now.
After all, the fine has been issued, and Sackler's domestic assets are not enough to pay the fine. It seems that there is really no other way besides asking Swiss banks to cooperate.
“But Director, you don’t have to worry too much. Since David dares to do this, he must be confident. Let’s see what happens next!
"Okay..."
...
At the same time, Switzerland, UBS Group headquarters building.
“Ask us to cooperate with the investigation? And transfer customers’ assets, what kind of international joke are you kidding?”
“Our Swiss bank, as the leader of the World Bank, and it is not a local bank in the United States, in Why does the IRS ask us to do this without the customer’s permission?”
"The IRS and Director David are so powerful. They even come to our Swiss bank to enforce the law. Look at me!"
"It really made me laugh. He thought he was the national tax collector." The bureau is the world’s police. Who should we control?”
After learning about the notice issued by the Los Angeles Internal Revenue Service, all the executives of Swiss Bank spoke with disdain.
What is the foundation of their Swiss bank?
It’s credibility!
Even Germany, as powerful as it was during World War II, dared not plunder assets from them.
Why is this IRS now?
You want them to ruin your credibility just by issuing this notice?
Don’t be too naive!
“Benson, we at UBS also immediately drafted an announcement to retaliate against the IRS’s unreasonable request. At the same time, we announced to our clients that the funds placed with us are absolutely safe, even if Even the US Internal Revenue Service can’t even take a dime from us!”
"Yes!"
After hearing the order from Group President Li Jietz, Benson from the Information Department immediately agreed to get up.
About half an hour later, as soon as the announcement from UBS Group was issued, the melon-eating audience around the world immediately became excited.
The general content of the announcement is also very straightforward.
First of all, UBS Group thanked its global customers for their trust.
Then he reiterated that his bank's safety and reputation are guaranteed, and it will never let customers lose even a dime without their permission!
Finally, in view of the unreasonable request of the IRS, UBS Group chose to protest strongly and reject it mercilessly!
“Hahahaha, I knew it!”
“This is a Swiss bank, a time-honored bank that has been established for more than a hundred years. How could it be threatened by your IRS? Now I see It’s over!”
“Director David is feared in Los Angeles, but unfortunately, Swiss Bank is a foreign company, and Director David may lose face now”
If anyone is the happiest person in America right now, it is naturally the Thackle family and the group of Jews who are friends with them.
In addition to these people, tax evaders who have been sanctioned by the Black Tax Act are also very happy.
After all, this might be an incident that would cause David to lose face.
Los Angeles Internal Revenue Service, Bucky walked in and explained the contents of the announcement issued by the Swiss Bank.
After listening, David's face did not fluctuate much, and he had obviously expected this result.
At this moment, Nissen also walked in with a pile of information and said: "I found out, Director, that these are the branches of Swiss Bank in our United States and some related investment companies here."
