United states tax collector

Maryknoll Villas.

A Mercedes-Benz stopped at the door of the Sackler family villa. A man in his early fifties got out of the car and then walked in under the leadership of a servant.

In the living room, Arthur, who had been waiting for him for a long time, saw the man come in and had no intention of getting up to greet him. He just said lightly: "Director Defoe Wells, you are really hard to find."

The man known as Defoe Wells spread his hands and replied with a hint of helplessness: "No way, our Santa Monica branch has a lot of things to do these days, and I really can't get away, Arthur." Sir, please understand."

"Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. It's very simple for me to come to you. Over the years, our family's tax situation has been in contact with your branch. I hope you can come forward and explain it to your city director David. , told him not to pursue it any further."

Upon hearing this, Default Wells frowned and replied: "Mr. Arthur, since you know that David is now the city director, it should be very clear that I can't command him to do anything."

What a joke, if he could command David, he would be the city director now instead of David.

"You have to think clearly, once they find out our family's tax situation, it will be equivalent to denying the tax work of your branch on our family before, and it is also indirectly telling everyone that your Santa Monica branch The director is incompetent!”

Arthur's words made Defoe Wells's face suddenly turn gloomy.

The Sackler family is within his jurisdiction, and so is Purdue Pharmaceuticals, so of course he understands that once David really finds out something is wrong this time, the Santa Monica branch will definitely be roasted on the fire. of.

But there is no other way. David is now the head of the Los Angeles Internal Revenue Service. If he is determined to investigate, how can a branch director named Defoe Wells be able to stop him?

"And don't forget how much tax our family has contributed to your Santa Monica district over the years. In addition, how much benefits you have taken from our family. Once something goes wrong with our family, do you think you Can we get rid of the relationship?"

If Arthur's words before made Defoe Wells just feel angry, then these words now made him feel helpless while being angry.

Yes, during his years as the Santa Monica branch director, he did receive a lot of benefits from the Sackler family, thus providing the family with a lot of tax shelter.

And according to Arthur's intention now, once his family is found to have problems by David, he will definitely be dragged into trouble.

This is threatening him!

But now Defoe Wells had no choice. He could only grit his teeth and reply: "I can go out and talk to him, but you also know the current situation. The children of your family killed one of his men. An inspector, judging from his character, I don’t think he can stop. If he can’t be persuaded, you can’t blame me.”

"Just do your best."

Without saying anything more, Defoe Wells turned around and walked out of the villa, got into his car, and started heading towards the city bureau.

Half an hour later, at the city bureau, David, who was interrogating a person involved in the Sackler family, had a hint of doubt on his face when he heard that the Santa Monica branch chief came to him.

But he quickly replied: "Take him to the office first to wait for me."

About ten minutes later, David walked out of the interrogation room, came to the door of his office, opened the door, and saw Defoe Wells already waiting.

Upon seeing his arrival, Defoe Wells immediately stood up and said, "Director David, I didn't disturb your work, did I?"

David came to his seat, sat down, and said, "No, tell me, why did you come to me?"

“As for the tax issues of the Thackle family, our Santa Monica branch has been responsible for these years. As for their tax situation, our branch cannot say that there will be no mistakes, but basically there will be no mistakes. There are too many discrepancies, and Director David, since you want to launch an investigation into them, do you need to... take a look at our branch's files on the Sackler family?"

Defoe Wells actually said this very tactfully, which was a hint to David that since he wanted to deal with this family, why not communicate with their local branch?

Forget about the lack of ventilation. He didn't even ask for the tax files and started investigating on his own. This clearly shows that he has no trust in their Santa Monica branch!

"What, is Chief Defoe Wells questioning the actions of our city bureau?"

"That's not true. It's just that if Director David does this, once you really find out what the tax problems of this family are, then our Santa Monica branch's future tax work... I'm afraid it will be difficult to carry out!"

David hadn't thought anything of it before. After all, if he were the branch director of Santa Monica, he would also feel a little unhappy when faced with the city bureau's intervention into his jurisdiction to investigate taxes.

But the last words of Defoe Wells made him feel something was wrong.

In order to confirm his guess, he immediately activated the golden finger's inspection function and inspected the other party.

[Name: Defowells Guata. 】

[Occupation: Sub-director of the Internal Revenue Service in Santa Monica District, Los Angeles. 】

[Income: monthly income of 21,000 US dollars, illegal income of 3.8 million US dollars. 】

[Income details: On December 9, 2021, provided tax shelter for Purdue Pharma and made a profit of US$200,000. On December 14, provided tax shelter for the Hequan Group in the jurisdiction and made a profit of US$100,000. February 9, 2022 , providing tax shelter for Purdue Pharma and making a profit of US$200,000...]

【More details:】

[Tax payable: US$1,504,800. 】

"As expected..."

After some inspection, David finally understood why Defowells' words seemed to be defending the Thackle family. It turned out that he had received a lot of money from the family.

Seeing Dai staring at him with a hint of unkindness, Defoe Wells felt a little panicked and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong, Director David?"

"Director Defoe Wells, did the Thacker family ask you to come to me?"

Defoe Wells's pupils shrank suddenly, and he immediately defended: "Director David is joking, I have nothing to do with the Sackler family. As I said before, I am just worried about what will happen to the Sackler family once this matter gets bigger. Our Santa Monica branch has had a certain impact and will not be able to carry out tax collection work in the future."

He did have a reason to say so.

After all, the Sackler family's tax affairs have been in contact with Santa Monica. Once the city bureau finds out about the family's problems, other companies and other companies will definitely be in danger, worrying that the city bureau will also treat them. Do a tax audit.

In the future, these companies will most likely take the initiative to contact the municipal bureau, and then their branches will probably become decorations.

If ordinary people would believe what Defoe Wells said, but David had already seen his background, it was naturally impossible to believe it. He said coldly: "Director Default Wells, you said you and Thacker The family has nothing to do with it, so on December 9 last year, when their monthly tax statements came in, why didn’t you even send someone to check them and just ordered them to pass?”

Upon hearing this, Defoe Wells's complexion changed drastically, and his body froze as if a calming spell had been cast on him.

But before he could defend himself, David said again: "That's because you accepted 200,000 from the Sackler family, and on the 9th of the following year, you accepted another 200,000 from the Sackler family. 200,000. In fact, over the past few years, you have received a bribe from the Thacker family almost every month to provide them with tax shelter. Am I right? Defoe Wells Director?"

"No, Director David, I don't know where you got this rumor from. I have never accepted a bribe from the Sackler family. I can swear to God!"

God swears, this guy has already done it. In order to gain his trust, this guy would abandon his faith. This kind of person really makes David feel sick.

He shook his head, picked up the phone and said: "Go to Purdue Pharmaceutical Company, bring me an accountant named Amanke, and go there again..."

"Etc., etc……"

Before David could finish speaking, Defoe Wells hurriedly interrupted after hearing the name.

Because the accountant David was talking about was the person in charge of laundering the bribe amount and depositing it into his account every month.

And since David knew about this person, he must have some definite evidence, so he naturally panicked.

David put down the phone, looked at him and said, "What, do you have any opinions?"

Defoe Wells stood up, knelt down on the ground with a bang, and said with a look of regret: "I'm sorry, Director David, I admit that I did accept money from the Thacker family, but there is nothing we can do about it. , my son got cancer a few years ago and needed money for treatment, and the Sackler family got the news out of nowhere, and then... I got on their pirate ship. Please forgive me for once, the Sackler family. I don’t care about things anymore!”

"You should resign on your own initiative!"

David was disgusted by this guy's unbelieving swearing before, but now he actually used his son as a shield, which really made him feel disgusted to the extreme.

It can even be said that he has never seen such an immoral and shameless person in such a long time since he was reborn!

But there is no way. After all, this bastard is from the IRS, and he is also the director of Santa Monica. If a scandal breaks out, it will have a great impact on the image of the IRS.

So even though David felt disgusted with the man, the best outcome was for him to resign.

"Resign...No, Director David, give me another chance. I promise to work for you in the future and be your most loyal subordinate...Oh no, be your most loyal dog!"

In order to keep his own future, Defoe Wells couldn't care less about face and dignity.

"Get out of here right now!"

David was really fed up with this disgusting person, so he yelled loudly.

Defoe Wells was stunned for three seconds, but looking at David's expression that was about to kill someone, he still didn't dare to say any more words due to his wriggling Adam's apple. He stood up and walked out of the office dejectedly.

Defoe Wells, who returned to the Santa Monica branch, stayed in his office for half an hour before calling his secretary and asking him to announce his resignation with a look of reluctance.

Soon after, when the news of the resignation of the Santa Monica Bureau Chief came out, the whole of Los Angeles was shocked.

"Oh, why did the director of the Santa Monica branch resign at this time? Is it... related to the Thackle family?"

"The headquarters and company of the Sackler family are in the Santa Monica district, and their taxation has always been connected with the district branch. Now the city bureau wants to conduct a tax audit on the Sackler family, and the district branch The director suddenly resigned again, something must have happened!"

"This Defoe Wells said he resigned voluntarily, but he has reached such a high level. How could anyone really be willing to resign voluntarily? He must have been under some pressure. I think it is likely that Thackeray was involved. In the family case!”

"..."

The IRS inspector died unexpectedly, and then the city bureau announced that it would launch a tax investigation into the Thackle family, and now the director of the Santa Monica branch resigned. These things definitely did not happen by chance. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that. There is a deep connection.

Therefore, this naturally aroused various speculations among those who paid attention to this case.

Maryknoll Villas.

"Everyone, since the IRS can now launch a tax investigation on our Sackler family, it may not target you in the future. If you sit back and do nothing now, then when David finishes dealing with us, the next one may be It’s your turn, please think carefully, everyone!”

In the living room of the Sackler family's mansion, Arthur said these words seriously.

A large number of people gathered around him, all of whom were members of the Jewish people living in Los Angeles.

At this moment, the Yu Tai people who heard these words also showed worried expressions.

Because what Arthur said is not unreasonable. The current David is no longer the same David. After tasting the huge benefits brought by the Hollywood tax audit, this person is obviously no longer satisfied with those three people. The melon and two dates are gone.

And this attack on the Sackler family is likely to be a test for these Jewish people who have a large amount of assets.

Once the test is successful, David, who has tasted the sweetness again, will most likely continue to pursue the victory and attack them in turn.

The Yutai people present are all smart people, so how could they not understand the meaning of lips dying and teeth cold.

"It's not good, Uncle Arthur..."

Just when the atmosphere at the scene was somewhat solidified, an emergency sound came and everyone had to turn their heads to look.

Mariano walked over with an urgent look on his face and said, "I just received the news that Chief Default Wells of Santa Monica has resigned."

"What did you say!"

Hearing the news, even Arthur couldn't sit still, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Not long ago, he also brought Defoe Wells over and asked him to go to the city bureau to lobby David, hoping that their family's tax investigation would not continue.

But how long did it take before Defoe Wells resigned?

Although I don’t know what happened, what is certain is that David must have forced him to resign, and the tax investigation against the Sackler family will definitely continue!

"Uncle Arthur, even Director Defoe Wells was forced to resign. It seems that David is determined to kill us!"

Arthur did not answer the question, turned to look at the Jews, and said: "Everyone, did you listen to what I just said?"

"Mr. Arthur, I think what you said makes sense. Don't worry, I will support you!"

"Mr. Arthur, I will do my best to support you, but it takes time to persuade the Freemasons. I think your current situation is very dangerous. In order to avoid being suddenly arrested by the IRS, I I think you need to find a place to hide!"

"..."

After hearing the reminders from these people, Arthur also realized that his family's current situation was indeed very dangerous.

In the past few days, they had received a lot of rumors and learned that many people with interests in their family had been taken to the city bureau.

As for how much evidence David currently has about their family, he is not very clear.

But if David really has enough evidence and suddenly launches an arrest against their family, once it is quickly brought to court, it will be a done deal. Even if the Freemasonry is over by then, it will be difficult to make a comeback.

But where to go to escape the limelight?

Going abroad is definitely out of the question, and David is not a fool. As long as he dares to plan to go abroad, he will definitely be detained immediately.

The last time the Camorra family wanted to fly out of the country, David dispatched two fighter planes to intercept them and they were still fresh in his mind.

But if you can’t go abroad, where is the safer place to go?

While Arthur was still thinking hard, a Jewish man seemed to remember something and said to him: "Arthur, before the Freemasonry comes to an end, your family must not be arrested by the IRS, and must not be arrested by the IRS." Take it to court, so be it, I suggest you go to the Governor's Mansion to escape the limelight for a while, that should be the safest place for you right now!"

"The Governor's Mansion..."

Arthur held his chin with one hand. For him at the moment, this place was indeed the safest.

After all, California is the most important state in the United States, and the governor of this state is known as the 'little president' in the United States, so no matter how arrogant David is, he must still be cautious.

But having said that, although the current governor of California is also a Utahn, he is a serious Freemason.

And now that the Freemasons have not made it clear that they will help him, can the governor, who is a member of the Freemasons, accept him as an asylum?
