Chapter 295 Bad Luck
It's not just a coincidence.
I just learned that Manager Oliver purchased a trust fund worth US$2 million.
Suri took Daddario to have lunch. After returning home, he heard the old housekeeper mention that a neighbor nearby was arrested at noon. A total of seven or eight police cars came and the door was sealed.
It seems that due to fraud, hundreds of millions of dollars were defrauded in total.
Many neighbors near Beverly Hills were deceived, believing that they could get high returns. A certain celebrity invested tens of millions, and they didn't know how much they would get back in the end.
This incident caused quite a stir, and many people were watching at the scene.
Several victims cried until they were unconscious. One old woman even fainted due to the stimulation, suffered cardiac arrest, and was taken away by an ambulance.
Fortunately, there were many police officers at the scene who had learned first aid knowledge and helped with CPR. Otherwise, the old woman might have gone to see God on the spot.
It's none of your business, just hang it up high.
Suri was listening with great interest and eating fresh local melons.
His heart suddenly moved and he asked:
"It must be another Ponzi scheme. What's the name of the guy who was captured?"
"White... Jim White? One of his servants and I often meet in the supermarket."
"Once we met in a tavern, the servant took the initiative to say hello to me and chatted for a while over a beer. The house seemed to be rented, and White was usually very generous and would hold a grand party almost every week. "
After the old butler finished speaking, he asked casually: "Master, do you know that guy?"
Su Rui looked stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Daddario said curiously: "Is this liar famous? I seem to have heard his name somewhere, and it sounds familiar."
"...Of course you are familiar with it. Just two hours ago, Manager Oliver said that he would introduce him to me. He is said to be a former adviser to the Federal Reserve. Do you remember him?"
"..."
Listen to Suri.
Daddario was immediately shocked, his eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Then Mr. Oliver's $2 million was defrauded?"
"That's why I sighed."
Su Rui reached out and pinched the center of his eyebrows, saying silently:
"I've figured it out. Manager Oliver was born with no luck in wealth. He can make money but can't keep it. Even a child of luck like me can't help him. He must have bad feng shui at home."
Daddario didn't understand the meaning of Feng Shui, so he only asked at this moment:
"What should I do? You have always said that he is stingy and loves money. When you hear this news, you may faint from tears."
Suri mentally observed three seconds of silence for Manager Oliver.
I thought he had learned the lesson this time and knew how to hide money for retirement before marriage. Unexpectedly, he did not escape the fate of losing money after all. He might as well have given the property to his ex-wives. At least he could have sex for a long time and gain a few more. A child.
After thinking about it for a while, Suri shrugged and said:
"I can only pretend not to know. That guy is like a squirrel, trying his best to store food for himself for the winter. Now it's a good time. The big tree where the food is stored has been chopped down. It would be strange if he didn't cry to death."
"Most of the profit from the two albums he released as dividends was lost in one fell swoop. I hope I can get some back, otherwise Manager Oliver will definitely continue to cling to me as a cash cow and try every means to get me to write new songs."
"I just thought that the 12% rate of return was strange. Anyone with some experience in financial management knows that this number is too high and sounds very unreliable. Even if he treats me to a street burger, I will tell him not to be careless. Investment is far inferior to going to Nasdaq to buy stocks..."
It had happened and there was nothing Suri could do about it.
If you take the initiative to contact Manager Oliver now, you will only be relied upon by him. It is best to pretend that you don't know anything.
Everyone likes to watch the excitement.
The old housekeeper then told:
"I went out before and happened to pass by nearby. I saw Julia Roberts at the scene, arguing with the police in her pajamas. She must have been defrauded of money, otherwise a decent star like her should at least change her clothes before going out. A suitable dress.”
Daddario said:
"My father worked as a prosecutor in New York and often encountered Ponzi scheme-type fraud cases. In the end, it was difficult for investors to get their money back."
"For example, there is an uncle who I have known since I was very young and is also a client of my mother. Last year, he was defrauded of $16 million by Bernard Madoff. Now he has even sold his house on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and the company has gone bankrupt... …”
"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Since I can spend 16 million US dollars for financial management, my family's conditions should be quite good. Even if my muscles and bones are broken, at least I can get by."
Suri shook his head and said:
"They are thinking about high profits, but the scammers are thinking about their principal, which is really hard to guard against. Thinking on the bright side, at least Manager Oliver is poor again. This time he should be able to carefully plan my concert and turn around again."
Daddario was not interested in meddling in other people's business and said with a smile:
"He may have saved the world in his previous life, so he could partner with you to open a record company. If someone else had lost so much money, he might have become poor directly."
The old housekeeper smiled happily and said happily:
"I have heard of that fund a long time ago. Fortunately, I am too poor to invest it, otherwise I would have been unlucky. Master, are you finally going to have a concert? If it is arranged on the weekend, I also want to experience it live. , I have never been to a large concert in my whole life.”
Suri nodded and said:
"Don't worry, I'll give you some tickets when the time comes. If you don't want to listen, there's no problem in selling them. Just think of it as an extra reward."
The so-called "you" also includes other servants in the family, as well as bodyguards, Amanda's secretary, etc.
He holds his own solo concerts without a middleman to make a profit, so it is no problem to reserve some good seats in advance.
…
Dozens of residents in Beverly Hills were deceived, including some celebrities and wealthy businessmen. Of course, the media immediately paid attention to such a big thing.
That night, detailed news broke out, briefly explaining what happened. It was said that the total amount involved was as high as more than 140 million US dollars.
Su Rui happened to browse the relevant news from the Internet, and saw in the picture accompanying the article, an unlucky man wearing an oxygen mask was being carried straight into an ambulance. He was about to faint and began to roll his eyes.
Suri stared at the picture and recognized at a glance that this guy was not Manager Oliver.
Although she was sorry for what happened to this guy, Suri was still amused.
Unexpectedly, I thought of the squirrel in "Ice Age". After several months of hard work, the "acorns" were eaten in a pot.
It is true that bad luck is overwhelming and you cannot keep your wealth.
Fortunately, Manager Oliver has encountered similar encounters several times, and his ex-wives were more ruthless than the liar who played a Ponzi scheme.
After all, the liar only wanted money, and his ex-wives not only drained him dry, but they still have to pay alimony to provide them with a comfortable life...
