The Memoirs of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 28 Washing

"This is not a threat, it should be more accurately a suggestion."

Richard had no expression on his face, and looked directly at the other party's sinister gaze, "We are down, so don't think about it."

Penguin lowered his head, rolled up the unsalted lasagna with a fork, and choked out a sentence between his teeth, "Go away, bedbugs."

The atmosphere froze, and the gangsters behind Richard and the others took a step forward with some excitement, and silently pressed their hands on the concealed gunstocks around their waists.

The sound of the violin playing in the background stopped suddenly, and a dozen or so waiters at the Canary Restaurant with smiles on their faces said "please wait a moment" to the guests, then stepped forward in unison and walked towards the corner of the restaurant in unison go.

They pulled out pistols with silencers from their pockets, and pressed them against the waists of gangsters and thugs. The process didn't even make a single noise, and the silence was terrifying.

Those guests who didn't know why cast curious and inquiring eyes, but no one at the corner table moved, only the penguin was left sipping a goblet, agitating its thick Adam's apple, and drinking.

Finally, the wine glass gradually emptied, the penguin snapped his fingers to let the waiters disperse, and the violin played again in the restaurant.

"If a person underestimates his own fundamentals, he will inevitably do some things that exceed the limits; the branches and leaves will wither after they are separated from the trunk, and in the end they have to be burned as dry wood."

Penguin quoted the lines from "King Lear" in a bard-like tone, looked at the gang leaders who were sitting on pins and needles, and said with a kind expression: "I don't blame you, Richard, you are my own eyes. Watching him grow up, from a rough youth who doesn't know anything, to a qualified family head."

Richard responded dryly: "You are too famous."

"No, no, no." Penguin pressed his hunched back onto the seat, moved his buttocks to make himself lie as comfortably as possible, "You know, before I retired, I always thought you could carry The flag of the leader, who leads the gang and sets the order of Gotham's underground world."

He politely wiped his fingers with a napkin, and twirled the tungsten gold ring on his big knuckles back and forth, "You failed, obviously you can't deal with the invasion from the Russian gangsters and the Yamaguchi group like me—in In my time, those immigrants needed my consent to buy a pack of cigarettes.”

"Times have changed." Richard said indifferently.

".Yeah, times have changed." Penguin sighed in disinterest, held back all the original words, waved his hand and said, "I won't interfere in this matter, you go."

The gang leader stood up from his chair silently and walked towards the door.But before Richard left, he suddenly turned around and said to the penguin: "Did you know that compared to Batman who can only control violence with violence, Lincoln March who stands in the open and also knows how to play tricks is the one." Our end."

Penguin lit a cigar, hiding his sharp hooked nose in the smoke.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the meal that only occupied a small area of ​​the plate was uneaten. Li Ang took the twins and left the Canary Restaurant, and took a taxi to take them home.

Next came the money laundering link. Li Ang went back to the motel, put US dollar bills worth 100 million into a rucksack, took an intercity bus, and rushed to a nearby city.

After getting off the bus, he adjusted his appearance directly and ran to the Indian Casino.

Let me explain here that, unlike other countries, the United States has an extremely strict banking regulatory system. If a user deposits too much cash at one time, the bank needs to fill in a special CTR form and report it to the relevant department. Compare your usual bills and see Do you have income from property of questionable origin.

There is nothing wrong with the president of a listed company depositing 300 million US dollars, but a Chinese teenager who works in a restaurant deposits 300 million US dollars in the bank. superior.

There are many common money laundering methods on the market, including but not limited to antique trading, opening shell companies, and relying on cash-intensive industries (for example, in the American TV series "Breaking Bad", Lao Bai used a car wash with a large cash flow and difficult to ascertain daily turnover). store, and launder the stolen money he got from making drugs).

Of course, these are relatively low-level means of money laundering. More high-end black money, such as income from gangster smuggling, must be laundered through Caribbean banks in the world's tax havens.

The narrow islands of the Cayman Islands, Grenada, and Marshall Islands have always been high-incidence places for tax avoidance and money laundering because of their official lax financial supervision and difficulties in international law enforcement. If you turn a corner with your left hand and turn your right hand, it will become a legal income.

A mere $300 million in cash naturally does not need to go to the Cayman Islands to register a leather bag company. The reason why Li Ang chose a casino is because legal casinos are protected by US laws and it is strictly forbidden to disclose customers’ personal information to any third party. It can be found within a certain time and cost range whether the criminal suspect really obtained this huge amount of money through gambling.

So why an Indian casino?This involves the Indian reservation policy in the United States. Indians living in concentrated areas can largely avoid legal restrictions and open casinos freely. Because of the residual ethnic consciousness, almost every Indian has a casino on hand. Stake, unite exclusively to earn money in the pockets of tourists.

In recent years, due to the squeeze from Las Vegas, Indian casinos have had a very hard time. They can only survive by drinking northwest wind. Fortunately, with the economic rise of a certain country in the East, the number of tourists visiting the United States is increasing. There are more and more Indians in the reservation, in order to let the rich and wealthy Chinese who spend money like water have fun and have fun, they are even more repelled by external supervision. look.

Li Ang, who changed his facial contours with bone shrinking skills, stepped into the casino gate with the neon lights of an Indian head. The Indian security guard at the gate saw his Asian face and invited him in with great enthusiasm.

When Li Ang arrived at the counter, he opened the rucksack without changing his expression, and dumped the 100 million US dollar bills in cash on the counter, "Exchange all of them into chips, thank you."

The salesperson behind the counter is also a person who has seen the world, and has a clear understanding of the wealth of Huaguo people. After being stunned for half a second, he immediately reacted, and enthusiastically took out a large stack of chips and handed them to Li Ang.
