United states tax collector

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, and David, who was dealing with something, immediately said: "Come in!"

The visitor was Mudinin, a tax inspector in the bureau. As soon as he entered the door, he reported: "Director, we have just found out that the financial funds of Purdue Pharma and other holding companies of the Sackler family are involved. There is a lot of fraud, and this 13 billion fine will not collect much at all."

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 or something."

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 to say?"

David's eyes were slightly confused.

"Take Purdue Pharma for example. Although this company is controlled by the Sackler family, their equity structure is a bit complicated. The same is true for their other companies. If it must be auctioned directly, then You also have to litigate with various companies and shareholders, which is very time-consuming and labor-intensive.”

Mudiniin explained.

"Like this……"

David held his chin. Equity structures were not his expertise, but since Moodyin said so, there shouldn't be any lies. Then he said: "Then don't start with equity." , they are all extremely rich, they should have real estate, cars, or collections, why don’t we start with these!”

"There are some, but we checked. Their total assets in the United States are only 1 billion US dollars, but the fine is 13 billion..."

"etc……"

David seemed to have thought of something key and asked: "As far as I know, the Sackler family has withdrawn more than 20 billion in funds from Purdue Pharma's account alone, although it was later revealed that the scandal handed over billions There should be a fine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? "

"This is the key. Previously, because we had not received the court's verdict, we were unable to understand the more detailed financial issues of the Sackler family and were deceived by some of the data he forged. But now through this screening, we have discovered They quietly transferred most of the funds out between 2016 and 2022..."

"Transferred to where?"

"Swiss bank."

“It’s UBS 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 Sackler family's fine 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 inform the prison that I want to go over and meet the Thacker family now."

"clear!"

…

A prison under the jurisdiction of the Internal Revenue Service in a suburb of Los Angeles.

David and his party arrived here, and then came to an interview room.

Arthur, Mariano, and Teresa were already sitting here. At this time, they not only put on uniform prison uniforms, but also shaved their heads, looking like prisoners.

"How about you three? Are you still used to prison life?"

"I'm used to living a luxurious life in the upper class, but it's not that nice to live like this once in a while!"

Arthur said with a smile, as if he came here not to serve a sentence, but to experience life.

This appearance also made David confused again. In the court until the sentencing, the Sackler 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 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?"

"Ha ha……"

Upon hearing this, Arthur just smiled, while Mariano and Theresa on the side seemed to burst into laughter, as if they knew the purpose of David's visit.

"Fuck you!"

Nissen on the side couldn't stand such anger, and he quickly wanted to go up and teach them a lesson, but David stopped him with his hand, and 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?"

Sure enough, Mariano knew exactly why David came to him.

"So, the reason I'm here this time is to ask you to cooperate and call the Swiss bank to transfer the assets back."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

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 expect them to cooperate?

What an international joke!

"Is it that funny?"

David said calmly.

"Go back and clean up the 'rags' we left behind. Maybe we can sell it for some money!"

Mariano continued to taunt.

"You should know that if you refuse to cooperate like this, we can impose additional penalties on you. Maybe you will be fined even a hair!"

"Then you should be punished. If you can be punished, you won't come here to kneel and lick us!"

Mariano Theresa, including Arthur, was not panicked at all. Because they were afraid of being sanctioned by the Ministry of Justice, they had already transferred most of their assets to Swiss banks.

The Swiss Bank has a history of more than 150 years since its establishment.

In these 150 years, it has never been known that anyone other than the owner of the asset could take 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’s 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 make today!"

These three people were obviously bastards who were determined by the scales, so there was no point in talking any more, so after David said these words, he stood up and left the interview room.

"Idiot, no matter how powerful your IRS is, it's 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 taunted him 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 however he likes. Anyway, as long as the president pardons him, everything can be eliminated!

After they get out, see how the outside world laughs at David and the IRS.

To be honest, they really want to see the incompetent and furious look when the time comes!

…

After returning to the Municipal Bureau of Internal Revenue office, the faces of Nissenbaki and others looked a little heavy.

If the Sackler family is unwilling to cooperate, it will be difficult to collect all the fines. Even if these three people are sent to prison, it will still make them feel as sick as eating a mouthful of shit.

After all, the important thing for the IRS is to make money, and sending people to jail is just a side penalty.

But this is not the key point. The key point is that now that the person 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!"

When Rodgorski and others could not collect many of their assets before, David wanted to attack Swiss banks. But now that the Sackler family incident has come out, this can no longer be delayed.

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Nissen, Bucky, Simmons and others were stunned.

UBS 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?

Even if this announcement is useless, 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 Thacker family will not be collected?"

"That's not what I meant, Director..."

"Then go ahead and notify. It's just a Swiss bank, so there may not be a time when you 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."

Upon hearing 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.

However, you must know that UBS, as the most well-known 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 and left in high spirits.

…

Not long after, a notice from the Los Angeles City Bureau was issued, instantly shocking the world.

The reason is simple, because the content of the announcement, as David had instructed, requires 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. Is there something wrong with your brain?"

"The IRS has the power to freeze the funds of major banks and institutions in the United States, but it is only limited to the United States. This is a Swiss bank. Why should you 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 transfer the assets of their clients!"

"..."

On all major social platforms and software, people are clamoring.

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 for UBS to compromise with the IRS.

Washington, D.C., Bureau of Internal Revenue

"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 bit.

Because he knew that David was not an impulsive person, he might have had some thoughts in doing so, right?

"Does the director know the news?"

"I probably don't know 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 had already transferred the assets of the Sackler family, and then David issued a notice requesting Swiss Bank to cooperate in transferring the assets.

"What's going on? Why does it involve the Swiss Bank?"

After hearing this, Obadiah's expression also darkened. After all, Bank of America is the most reputable bank in the world. If he cooperates with you, wouldn't he be ruining his reputation?

"Director, I think David must have had no choice but to do so. The Thacker family must have transferred a large amount of funds to a Swiss bank, and our fines have been issued again. If we can't collect them, we will be disgraced!"

Donald had already guessed that David would do this because the Sackler family's current funds in the United States were insufficient to pay the fine.

Otherwise, there is 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 wouldn't have had to denounce the Swiss Bank."

Obadiah held his chin with his right hand. If this was the case, it would be understandable to understand David's difficulty 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!

"All right……"

…

Meanwhile, in Switzerland, the UBS headquarters building.

"Requiring us to cooperate with the investigation? And transfer the client's assets, what kind of international joke are you kidding?"

"Our Swiss bank, as the leader of the World Bank, is not a bank in the United States. Why does the IRS ask us to do this without the permission of our customers?"

“The IRS and Director David are so powerful. They even come to our Swiss bank to enforce the law. Let’s see if I can’t take advantage of him!”

"It really made me laugh. He thinks that the IRS is the world's policeman, and he wants to control who he wants to control?"

After learning about the notice issued by the Los Angeles Internal Revenue Service, all the executives of UBS 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?

Do you want them to ruin your credibility just by issuing this notice?

Simply don’t be too naive!

"Benson, we at UBS immediately drafted an announcement to retaliate against the IRS's unreasonable demands. At the same time, our clients announced that the funds placed with us are absolutely safe, even if they are from the IRS. Don’t even think about taking a dime from us!”

"yes!"

After hearing the order from group president Li Jietz, Benson from the news 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!

In the end, 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 long-established bank that has been established for more than a century. How could it be threatened by your IRS? Now you can see the results!"

"Director David is feared in Los Angeles, but unfortunately, UBS is a foreign company. Director David may lose face now!"

If anyone is the happiest person in America right now, it is naturally the Sackler family and the group of Jewish people 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 could be an incident that would cause David to lose face.

From the Los Angeles Internal Revenue Service, Bucky came 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 UBS branch in the United States and some related investment companies here."
