Wall Street Legend

Chapter 281 Risk Control

It doesn't mean that Mr. McCord says it doesn't matter.

Judging from the attitude shown by the lawyers at Baker McKenzie, Ye Dongqing understood that Tamsui Investment Group would probably get into some trouble because of this business, and it would depend on whether it could minimize the loss of money and reputation. If something goes wrong, some investors might want to withdraw their capital, which would have some impact on their investment plans.

It’s unclear whether his friend Karkawi knew there was something wrong with the money, so he didn’t know whether he should be angry with the guy or not. He might have done something bad with good intentions.

Ye Dongqing felt that Karkawi had been in the United States for so many years, so he should know what kind of big trouble he would get into by getting involved with Iraq. There seemed to be no reason to use this to trick him. Judging from his usual personality, Karkawi belonged to People who are more generous are more likely to be deceived.

There is no use in guessing now. First, accompany the lawyer and Mr. McCord to the police station to take notes and understand the situation.

An FBI agent received them. He was a white man in his early thirties, who seemed to have a relatively high status. He was wearing a black suit. The agent personally poured Ye Dongqing a glass of water, sat on the sofa and told him: "We are watching." I have been keeping this fund for a long time. I have been keeping an eye on it since I discovered that one of the accounts paid for an arms order. I thought I could catch a big fish with this money, but I didn't expect that it ended up in your company's account.

But I also know that you are mostly unaware, your background is very clean, you have made so much money, and you have no reason to work for the Islamic State, but your friend, Ben Abdullah Karkawi , we have reason to suspect that he is handling funds for Iraq and getting huge returns from it. How much do you know about him? Let me introduce myself first, Radgar Hamilton, senior detective of the FBI New York Division. "

The FBI was filming and recording, and Ye Dongqing's lawyer also turned on the recorder. After blocking him, he whispered a reminder in Ye Dongqing's ear.

Ye Dongqing then replied: "I can tell you everything I know, and I can provide all the information about the transaction at any time, but I must get your promise, a promise given on behalf of the FBI, to tell you all the information about the transaction." , and information related to my company are completely blocked to ensure that I will not be subject to any criminal investigation and will not affect the normal operations of my company."

"Well... I need to make a call. Give me a few minutes to report to my superiors, okay?"

"Can."

In order to promote the progress of the investigation of the case, many things can be negotiated. Ye Dongqing is trying to use the information he knows to make a deal with the FBI. This is the lawyer's proposal, and he is prepared to minimize risks and harm.

After Superintendent Hamilton went out, Ye Dongqing looked at himself in the mirror. His face looked very ugly. He had reason to suspect that there might be other people standing behind the mirror, such as people from the CIA and NSA.

Not intending to pin all his hopes on others, he also took out his cell phone and made a call. He was an NSA executive working in Washington. The other party had personally contacted him in Hawaii. He was the kind of big shot who could report to the Oval Office. .

He didn't mean to hide it, he directly told the other party the cause and effect, and said that if it threatened his business, the previously negotiated cooperation would be void.

The so-called cooperation refers to the cooperation between the NSA and Facebook, Skype, and Whatsapp, which is one of the secret programs exposed by Snowden, giving the NSA the right to obtain other information from these companies without any explanation. All designated user data, this is breaking news, the justice has passed the relevant authorization, but the public is not aware of it.

It is true that they are no longer a small role that can be manipulated by others. Through a mirror, the expressions of several people are quite ugly. However, the target tonight is not Ye Dongqing, so it is not a big deal.

Hamilton received the authorization and returned soon, telling him that the exemption agreement would be drawn up later, and asked him to cooperate in handing over all the documents related to the business and explaining the relevant matters. Intentionally or unintentionally, he also turned the topic to Kalkawi. lead.

The lawyer answered on behalf of Ye Dongqing that no information or information would be given before the agreement was signed unless authorized by the court.

Just like that, after more than twenty minutes, after confirming that they would help block the relevant information, he said: "As far as I know, Karkawi has no hostility towards the United States. On the contrary, he also likes it very much, such as whiskey. , cigars, white girls, etc., purely an American with a Middle Eastern appearance.

This business was introduced to me by Karkawi at a party a few days ago. I only know that the investor is an official from Sharjah, with a total amount of US$2 billion. My Freshwater Investment Group will give them an annualized percentage of Nine-tenths of the interest rate return, Goldman Sachs, Morgan, Merrill Lynch and other institutions are also my customers, because the funds are in Citibank. It is impossible that when someone comes to invest, we have to check the source of the funds. That is your business. "

The answer did not satisfy Superintendent Hamilton. He asked: "Two billion dollars, don't you have any doubts?"

"Why should I doubt it? It's just a small amount of money. Kalkawi has introduced investors to me before. I only know that he will receive part of the commission from it. That is none of my business." Ye Dongqing changed the subject and came Sentence: "And you said before that you have been staring at this fund for a long time, so why don't you stop it before it is transferred to my company. Isn't this phishing law enforcement? Who will compensate for handling fees, company reputation, personal mental losses, etc. And me?"

The lawyer sitting next to him said: "This is fishing law enforcement. My client pays a large amount of taxes in New York and provides financial and material support to poor areas. He has always been a representative figure among young businessmen. Because of your It was your negligence that brought you into this situation, Leo, and you have every right to receive compensation.”

Superintendent Hamilton has a headache. People like them are most afraid of dealing with the super rich. Their connections, financial resources, and influence cannot be underestimated. If they can avoid provocation, no one is willing to take the initiative to stir up trouble. They are just afraid that their own subordinates will do it. After this interview was ruined, he showed up in person to ask questions.

Tell Ye Dongqing: "We just want to find the whereabouts of this fund, and we don't have any intention against you, right? We are just asking you to understand the situation tonight, the situation related to Karkawi. I believe you can understand us. After all, When it comes to Iran, we have reason to suspect that this fund will be used against the United States, and we want to use it to find the behind-the-scenes forces that are hostile to us. We never expected that it would enter your company and be used for... Investment and financial management..."
