Chapter 655: Ponzi scheme breaks out, Lacey’s party

 Chapter 655 Ponzi scheme breaks out, Lacey’s party

 Driving back to the "Insomnia Building" calmly, 800 meters away, he stepped on the accelerator and reached the end. Luo An took the elevator up, silently thinking about how to write a report worth 1.4 million US dollars.

 “Everyone, I’m back.”

Walking into the office area of ​​the special investigation team, Luo An said hello loudly.

All the responses that often appeared in the past disappeared. Luo An looked up and found that everyone had gathered around the small TV at the front of the office area.

Luo An frowned slightly and walked over quickly:

"What's wrong?"

 “Something’s going on on Wall Street.”

 Lacie swallowed, turned around to make way for Luo An, and said with a complicated expression:

“Have you ever heard of Bernard Madoff? The former chairman of Nasdaq, he was arrested.

 This guy has been running a Ponzi scheme for the past few decades. "

  On the TV, a live broadcast of Bernard Madoff being taken away was being played.

This is also the reason why Luo An did not choose to participate in this matter: the factions behind it are complex and there are many camps, and it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between enemies and teammates.

  At 4:30 pm on Friday, the agents finished their work and began to take a break, preparing to wait for the clock at the front of the office area to reach the end of the day.

As an insider and the leader behind the whole matter, Luo An said quietly:

 “No, it shouldn’t be said that it has not been discovered, but it should be said that it has only been exposed now.”

The live broadcast on the TV is still going on. The reporters’ exclaims and inquiries alternate with the shouts and curses of passers-by in the background. The office area of ​​the special investigation team is quiet, and everyone is silent and thinking silently.

At the same time, Luo An also proposed to Director Elmer a plan that could protect the funds of middle-class families who were defrauded to the greatest extent.

"Wow."

“So, there are no good people on Wall Street, it’s all liars and lunatics.”

There were many reporters nearby holding microphones and shouting questions to Bernard Madoff like crazy. They were all stopped by the surrounding NYPD. Bernard Madoff himself lowered his head and said nothing.

 Lacie was more concerned about another thing. She frowned and asked:

“How did this Ponzi scheme last for more than 20 years without being discovered?”

In the office area of ​​the Special Investigation Team, Chenille and Winslow were speechless. After thinking for a long time, they couldn't think of a suitable adjective. Michelle next to them snorted and said:

The two discussed the matter with the IRS director, and the three later brought in some top figures from other departments, and the multiple departments worked together to finally expose the matter. Director Elmer was just the vanguard in the public eye.

 It is naturally impossible for Elmer to be in charge of one person to promote this case and arrests, so Luo An had previously introduced Mr. Clement and FBI Director Robert to him.

On the TV, the blond female host looked shocked and kept shouting "God". Behind her, many people shouted "God" while many more people yelled and greeted Bernard with various words. Madoff and his family.

 In the next few days, the front pages of major media outside were almost all occupied by this Ponzi scheme case that shocked the world.

Luo An is still young. Unlike Director Elmer, who lacks a powerful thigh background and lacks great achievements, he will have plenty of opportunities in the future and there is no need to get involved in this matter.

Luo An raised his eyebrows and sighed. He had just met with Director Elmer a few days ago and discussed Bernard Madoff's sale of financial products at low prices. Unexpectedly, he started taking action today.

 While the detectives of the special investigation team were surprised and checked the subsequent development of the incident, they continued to deal with the aftermath of the bombing + Salers case, and there was still work to be done.

“Nearly 50 billion U.S. dollars, one of the largest funds in the world, is actually empty! The entire fund is even just a Ponzi scheme..."

 “This is really…”

Although I cannot get back all the defrauded funds, it is better than not getting almost a penny in my previous life.

 The white man escorting Bernard Madoff next to him was a familiar face to Luo An, Supervisor Elmer.

As the team leader, Luo An naturally had to lead by example, so he also walked out of the team leader's office and started fishing and chatting with the agents.

 “Everyone, everyone! Look at me, look at me!”

At this moment, Lacey suddenly coughed and stood up, clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention, and said loudly:

 “I have an announcement!”

Luo An stuffed a nut into his mouth and asked with a smile:

 “What’s wrong? Are you getting married?”

 “Almost, not far away.”

 Lacie chuckled, took out a few photos from behind her back, and shouted loudly:

“Everyone! The house I bought has been renovated!

 Tomorrow, Saturday night, everyone come to my villa together! Let's have a party! " "So fast? "

"when?"

Winslow’s face was full of surprise, and Chenelle and Michelle were also surprised. Lacey smiled and put her hands on her hips very proudly.

 The people of the Federation do not have a serious concept of new houses and old houses. The same house sometimes has many owners.

For example, the house purchased by Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman and her husband when they got married has experienced three generations of owners before them.

The house Lacey bought was not a new one. There had been a previous owner before her, so after Lacey bought the house, she directly removed all the previous owner's decorations, and then asked the decoration company to replace it with her favorite style and decoration.

While everyone was having fun in the office area, Lacey hugged Mona’s arm and grinned at Luo An:

“I’ll borrow Mona tomorrow. I’m the only one in that house. The party needs to be prepared and I need people.”

Luo An spread his hands, and Mona agreed that he wouldn't say anything. Then Luo An suddenly thought of something and asked:

“Besides the people from our investigation team, have you invited anyone else?”

"certainly!"

 Lacie nodded naturally, she also had her own social circle.

Luo An raised his eyebrows:

 “Aren’t they all women?”

"How can it be?"

Lacie looked unhappy:

“Although I’m lesbian, it doesn’t mean I don’t make friends with men, okay?”

 “OK.”

 Looking at Winslow who was eating Lacey's snacks next to him, Luoan grinned and nodded.

  ——

 In a villa community in the west of Washington, D.C., the villas here not only have independent lawns and trees, but the distance between each villa is also very far.

 Saturday, at 8:30 pm, in a villa at the southernmost end of the community, restless music buzzed and roared.

Lacey stood by the swimming pool in a neutral outfit, holding a microphone and shouting:

 “Girls, get excited!”

 “Oh oh oh—”

 “Lacie! Lacey! Lacey!”

On both sides of the swimming pool, more than thirty beautiful girls in simple clothes clapped and cheered wildly.

Lacie laughed, dropped the microphone and rushed into the crowd, moving her left and right hands up and down. The place was suddenly filled with girls' screams and laughter.

 At the other end of the swimming pool, Luo An and Winslow were sitting on beach chairs with black lines on their heads.

 In the huge villa, apart from the two male characters Luo An and Winslow, there is only one pet male dog brought by someone unknown.

And a white man wearing ordinary shirts and shorts, with gray hair and a wrinkled face. He looked to be in his sixties and wore sunglasses late at night.

Luo An picked up the beer and touched it with the strange man, and asked with a smile:

 “Let me meet you, my name is Luo An.”

 The man took off his sunglasses and smiled:

 “Just call me Piero, I am a friend of little Lacey, and I am a priest by profession.”
