Chapter 281 The Freemason’s Small Treasury
The members of UBS Group’s legal department chose the Bellagio Hotel as their temporary residence.
At this time, Yamalin and others, who had just returned here, walked into a suite, and then immediately turned on the computer and started a video call with the headquarters.
"Mr. Jets, we talked with David..."
Amarin told the contents of the conversation at the IRS in detail.
"What, he actually found evidence of tax evasion and violations of our products?"
Jets, who was far away at the Swiss headquarters, and the senior executives of the group, all showed disbelief after hearing these words. expression.
Their Swiss bank has the world's top risk assessment team.
Since we dare to launch these two products, CUUI and CUUO, the risk must have been reduced to a minimum.
I didn’t expect that despite this, David would still find evidence of conviction. This is really incredible.
They had always heard how powerful David was, and that no one who was targeted by him could escape, but now, they seemed to have learned the lesson.
"Yes, Mr. Jets, and according to what he said, as long as he wants to check, any of our customers who have purchased these two products can find out the problem."
"What, anyone!?"
"No way, I don't believe it!"
"This is a bit outrageous, we have thousands of customers buying these two products, How could he find out everyone?”
All the senior executives at the UBS headquarters were shocked when they heard this.
As they said, there are thousands of customers who have purchased CUUI and CUUO. If everyone could check in such detail, wouldn’t David be omnipotent and omnipresent? God?
"Amarin, what do you think? Is David's words credible?"
Jets asked in a deep voice.
"Mr. Jets, judging from his various historical achievements, coupled with his calm and confident appearance in the conversation just now, I personally feel that although his words are somewhat exaggerated, It should be true to convict us with confidence.”
"I agree with Amarin. David doesn't look like he's trying to scare us. And if he can find out the details of one customer, there's a high probability that he can find 2 or 3. As long as the number of people is If there are enough, it will be difficult for us to win this lawsuit.”
Amarin Humphrey expressed his views one after another.
Now, the senior executives at UBS headquarters can no longer remain calm.
As Humphrey said, David may not be able to find the information and evidence of all their customers, but since he can find one, it is also a high probability that he can find the second and third. It's just a matter of time.
With this evidence, as long as it goes to court, their Swiss bank may be in trouble.
"Mr. Jets, he finally gave us two options. The former was not bad, it was just asking them to plead guilty and pay a fine, but the latter... was still about the transfer of the Sackler family's property..."
Amarin continued.
In fact, he didn't need to say it. The senior executives at the headquarters had already guessed something.
Since David gave them the opportunity to settle out of court, what else could it be besides achieving the purpose of transferring the property of the Sackler family?
“Let’s all share our opinions!”
At this point, Jets couldn't make a direct conclusion. He could only let the other senior executives express their opinions to see if there was a better way.
"Mr. Jets, I think that based on the current situation, it is not a wise move to continue to compete with David like this. After all, we still have so much business in the United States."
“According to the current situation, once we are convicted, if we go to court again, the punishment we will suffer will definitely not be small...”
“Is the United States the largest bank in Switzerland? The source of income is at odds with the IRS this time, and future business is expected to be difficult..."
"..."
Before Amarin and his team arrived in Los Angeles, many senior executives at UBS had the same view, that is, they must not damage their credibility.
But now, many senior executives have to start to reverse their views.
There is no other reason, because they have seen the trump card held by David. According to the legal department, this trump card does have the risk of causing a thunderstorm for their UBS.
If they still stick to their previous views, all their business in the United States will suffer a heavy setback once they go to court.
I dare not say the amount of losses suffered. A conservative estimate would be at least over 100 billion.
Which one is more important? People like them who can hold senior positions in Swiss banks are not fools, so they can naturally make their own judgments.
But not all senior executives are inclined to compromise.
At least the vice president of the group did not agree. He said: "Mr. Jets, gentlemen, let me remind everyone that the most important thing in a bank is reputation. If you lose the money, you can make it again, but If the credibility is gone, it is really gone!”
“Reputation is important, but if it goes to court, according to the evidence that David has, our losses will be incalculable.”
“Now that David has conclusive evidence in this regard, if he takes advantage of this issue to make the matter bigger and introduces a policy to restrict the American people from transferring money to our Swiss bank, then our group may have to It has been in ruins ever since.”
"Sigh..."
"..."
It makes sense for Yamalin to say that banks should protect their credibility, but other UBS executives know better that with the power of the IRS , now that they have been caught, what a huge blow it will have to their business.
Just when the atmosphere seemed a bit tense, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Jacic, go and have a look."
The man named Jacic was named and quickly walked over and opened the door.
I saw a well-mannered man in a suit and leather shoes standing in the doorway at this time.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
"I am a representative of the Freemasonry. I would like to talk to your Mr. Yamalin."
"The Freemasonry !" Jacic was stunned, then turned to look at Yamalin and others inside, and said: "Yamalin, the representative of the Freemasons is here."
Hearing this, Amarin Humphrey and others in the hall were also stunned, and then their expressions all dropped.
After thinking for a moment, Yamarin finally said: "Let him in!"
After saying this, he immediately turned to look at the computer and said: "Mr. Jets, It's someone from the Freemasonry. I'll hang up first..."
"No need to hang up. Since we are senior officials from your headquarters, let's listen together!"
Before Amarin could finish what he said, there was an interruption from the Freemason representative who walked in.
"This..."
"Then let's just listen."
Jets's voice came from the video.
The self-proclaimed representative of Freemasonry did not show any signs of indifference when he came in front of a few people. He sat on the sofa and then said: "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Benny Foucault, and I am here on behalf of the Freemasons. I would like to ask Mr. Yamalin how the talks between you and your team with the IRS went?”
"This is a secret of our Swiss bank and should not be disclosed for the time being!"
Of course, Yamalin will not leak the contents before the results are confirmed.
Benny spread his hands and replied: "Okay, it's okay not to disclose it, but the members of the Freemasonry entrusted me to bring you a message to UBS Group. The reason why they chose to put their money in you Bank, that’s because our bank is a time-honored brand with more than 150 years of history and has the world’s top reputation guarantee. I hope you won’t make a wrong decision in a moment of confusion, otherwise, you will have to bear the serious consequences!”
Hearing this, not only Amarin Humphrey and others at the scene, but also Jets and other senior executives at the Swiss headquarters, all looked a little confused.
The Freemasons are threatening them.
If they dare to compromise on the Sackler family's property, then this group will definitely do something with the funds placed with them, and they will naturally hear it.
"Mr. Benny, how about this, can you teach me what UBS should do?"
Amarin replied angrily, and there was another point in his words. The underlying meaning is that if we have a choice, we will naturally not hand over anyone's assets. After all, this can also damage the brand.
Benny didn’t seem to understand the meaning of Yamalin’s words. He patted the collar on his chest, stood up and said: “It’s not our turn for outsiders to intervene in your Swiss bank matters. The words have been spoken. I brought it to you, I hope you make the right decision.”
After leaving these words, Benny walked straight out of the door, leaving only Yamalin and others with a gloomy look. .
At the door of the hotel, Benny got into the car, took out a mobile phone from the hidden pocket of his suit, and said to the phone: "Gentlemen, you all heard it, I have brought the message to you!"
< br>The next second, there was a beeping hang-up sound from the phone.
At the same time, on the east coast of New York, Senado Island.
A few days ago, Borgwana had initiated a Masonic meeting through his own authority, but later the Swiss Bank incident broke out, and this incident involved all Masonic members. Due to the problem of their treasury, the meeting was postponed until today.
At this time, in the manor meeting room, Henrietta Rothschild, the seven major families that control the Federal Reserve, Borgwana, and a group of Freemasons were all here.
However, the atmosphere at the scene also seemed a bit solid at this time, and everyone's eyes were turned to Henrietta.
After a while, Henrietta said solemnly: "No matter what, we cannot let the Swiss Bank hand over the assets of the Sackler family!"
"I agree with Mr. Henrietta Views.”
“I agree!”
“…”
As Henrietta spoke, everyone at the scene almost unanimously agreed.
It’s not that they agreed because of Henrietta’s power, it’s just that the Swiss bank was too important to them, it was everyone’s capital treasury.
And why did they rush to send representatives to warn Swiss banks?
Of course we are not really worried about the Thackle family's assets being confiscated by the IRS.
To put it bluntly, although they are all a Jewish group, the assets of the Sackler family are none of their business?
It has nothing to do with them.
What they are really worried about is that once the Swiss Bank takes this initiative, if one day their assets are involved, the Swiss Bank will also be at risk of moving out.
They must eliminate such risks!
“David is getting more and more aggressive now. Before, it was okay for him to harm Disney’s interests and deal with the Sackler family, but now he has actually harmed Swiss banks. I think, for Huge benefits, he will attack us sooner or later, we must be prepared for a rainy day!"
It was Borgwana who stood up and spoke this time.
To be honest, after seeing David pressuring Swiss banks, he was the happiest one.
Because the Sackler family has no weight at all to the Masonic group.
And he wants to persuade everyone in the group to help him take revenge on David, but there are still some obstacles.
But now, the Swiss bank is the treasury of the group owner after all. Now, even if everyone is worried about the IRS, they may have to take some action.
"Borgwana is right, this guy is really too irritating. If he is allowed to continue like this, it is not impossible that the fire will burn to all of us here."
"After getting such a large amount of profit from Disney, he is obviously red-eyed. We really need to take some actions against him. We can no longer restrict him by putting pressure on the top officials of the IRS. "
"The IRS ostensibly compromised with us regarding his entry into the Bureau, but then promoted David to the top position in Los Angeles. As David's ability to attract money became more and more powerful, Who can guarantee that the IRS will not break its promise and transfer him to the General Bureau? By then, it will be difficult for us to deal with him!”
With Borg! When Varner spoke out, all the members present responded.
Again, they can tolerate David punishing lawbreakers, and they can also tolerate David to harvest the wool of those companies, but now David has obviously reached out to the interests of their group. This cannot be tolerated any longer.
“What you are talking about is not the most important thing. It seems that many of you have not paid attention to the most important point, which is the current attitude of Congress!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene turned their heads and looked. It turned out that it was Sauras who said these words.
"Soros, what does Congress's attitude mean?"
Bennett of the Disney family asked doubtfully
"The EW war has been going on for several years. It has been months. At present, the W side is retreating steadily and is asking for help everywhere. However, the political views of our president and Congress are unified, that is, we must aid the W side. Therefore, the Congress is currently preparing an "Aid to Ukraine Act". The amount of this bill is said to be as high as hundreds of billions. Think about where this money will come from.”
