United states tax collector

The time came the next day.

Henderson, in front of the IRS Bureau.

The local media, as well as the media from surrounding cities who had received the news, had already stopped to report this.

"Good morning fellow citizens, it is now 8:20 in the morning, and there are still 40 minutes until the IRS court session. Now we can see that the City Hall, the City Council, and some of the city of Henderson Entrepreneurs have been invited here, let’s see what happens next…”

While various media outlets were reporting, invited people from all walks of life did indeed come to the scene one after another and walked into the city bureau one after another.

"Taxmaster David is here!"

At about 8:40, someone at the scene yelled like this, and then the media who were busy reporting all turned their heads to look.

Isn't it? David has already walked over from the parking lot.

Due to the armed dispatches led by David before and the major earthquakes caused in Sparks and now Henderson, he himself has long become a huge traffic representative.

Therefore, upon seeing his appearance, the media at the scene immediately rushed forward with microphones in hand, hoping to earn a wave of traffic by interviewing him before the trial.

"Tax Commissioner David, are you, the IRS, confident that you can convict the two members of the city hall in this trial?"

“Tax Commissioner David, if we can’t be found guilty, how will your Internal Revenue Service explain to the city hall and the citizens?”

"Say a few words, Chief Tax Officer David..."

Faced with numerous questions from the media, David had no intention of answering.

The two people in front of him, Buckinson, also turned into two thick moving walls, escorting him all the way into the hall of the city bureau.

"Taxmaster David!"

Jennifer Edward and others have already arrived here and are talking with other branches and some senior officials of the city bureau here.

As soon as she saw David arriving, she immediately came up to him and asked with concern: "How are you, Chief Tax Officer David? Did you sleep well last night?"

David replied with a relaxed look: "It's okay."

"Oh, by the way, let me introduce to you, this is from our city bureau..."

In the following time, Jennifer introduced David to the director, deputy director, and senior officials of other branches of the city bureau one by one.

Although in terms of level, each of these people is several levels higher than David, but because David has been so popular recently.

People throughout the IRS system know it.

As long as David doesn't make any big mistakes in the future, he will definitely skyrocket.

Even being transferred to the General Administration to hold a high position is not impossible.

Therefore, whether he is the city director here or other branch directors, they are all extremely polite to David.

"It's almost time, we should go in!"

During the conversation, the time had already reached 8.50, and Jennifer proposed to go to court first to prepare for the trial.

Immediately, everyone got on the elevator and arrived at the courtroom on the seventh floor.

And when everyone came in and took their seats, the time came to 9 o'clock exactly.

"All rise!"

In the passage, walking was a white man in a black judge's robe, probably in his forties.

His steps were very steady and powerful, as if to show people her authority and solemnity.

"Please take a seat, everyone!"

After arriving at the judge's bench, as he sat down, everyone invited to the auditorium also sat down.

"Bring the defendant with you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sharp and Clement were escorted out of the passage on the other side.

Maybe it’s because of the examples of Beecher and Adelaide.

After the two people were brought out at this time, they looked somewhat haggard and uneasy, completely losing their previous temperament and demeanor when they were in high positions.

"Defendants Sharp and Clement, this court is now accusing you of suspected tax evasion, and the amount is huge. In addition, as a public official, you still know the law and break the law even though you know the black tax bill. The nature is extremely bad. What do you want to say? ?"

Faced with Sandy's question on the judge's bench, Bentham, the legal counsel for the city hall, stood up from the lawyer's bench and argued: "Your Honor, I firmly believe that my client is innocent. If you want to convict them, , please provide evidence!"

Sandy did not speak, but opened a document bag that had been placed on the table for a long time, took out some documents and information, and said: "This is what Tax Chief David and the Valley Branch investigated about Sharp and Ke." The illegal transactions between Clement and some criminals have been verified and are correct!"

As soon as they heard that the verification was correct, Sharp and Clement in the dock immediately turned pale.

The city hall and other officials who were watching also became anxious and uneasy.

"Your Honor, may I see these documents?"

Of course, Bentham can't just sit back and wait for death.

He wanted to see for himself whether these documents were indeed true, and if so, whether he could find any counterattack points from them.

Sandy did not refuse and handed the documents into the hands of a court employee.

After the staff member took it, he came to the lawyer's table and handed it into Bentham's hands.

Bentham pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and examined them carefully.

But as the contents continued to appear in his eyes, his face became increasingly ugly.

As an excellent lawyer, he can naturally tell at a glance whether a document is genuine or whether there is fraud in it.

These documents clearly record the transactions and details between Sharp and Clement and those criminals.

Not only is the time and date of each transaction detailed, but also which of these payments were eventually laundered and which accounts were transferred to them are all clearly recorded.

Not to mention the powerful auditing system of the IRS, even if you ask two random police officers to check, they can quickly confirm it.

"Bentham, show me!"

Looking at Bentham's appearance in the dock, Sharpton felt uncomfortable and immediately wanted to see what was in the document.

Bentham sighed helplessly, walked to the defendant's table, and placed the documents in his hands in front of them.

The two of them immediately took out a copy of each of them and browsed it quickly.

But soon, their expressions became extremely ugly, just like Bentham before.

Among them, Sharp became even more angry and cursed: "This damn Achill..."

"quiet!"

Sandy on the stage knocked the gavel and said, "Defendant Sharp, Clement, and defense attorney, do you have anything else to say?"

"Your Honor, these documents and information... I think some details are not detailed enough. In order to give an explanation to the citizens of Henderson City, I think we should investigate in more detail. We cannot just close the case hastily, so that we can convince the public! "

Bentham certainly knew that the contents of these documents must be true.

He did this just to get an adjournment of the case.

As long as the trial is adjourned, he will immediately go to the senior officials of the city hall and advise them that whether they admit their mistake to the IRS or kneel down to beg for mercy, the trial cannot continue.

Otherwise, Sharp Clement is determined to go in!

And the image of City Hall will probably take a big hit like Sparks City, and everyone will be in trouble!

"Since you think it's not detailed enough, fine, let's call the witnesses!"

As soon as Sandy said these words, Bentham was stunned for an instant.

He didn't expect that even if the IRS could get these documents and information, it would even arrange witnesses.

At this time, his plan to adjourn the court and let the city hall plead for mercy may be in vain.

While thinking, five men were brought out.

And these five people are old acquaintances of Sharp and Clement.

As for Aqil, who just caused Sharp to curse loudly, he was also involved.

"Witnesses, please introduce your identity to everyone first, and then explain what you want to testify one by one!"

Aqil was the first to stand up. He first glanced at the ferocious-looking Sharp, then at David with his legs crossed in the gallery, and then said: "Your Honor, in January 2020, when the Valley District was preparing Planning a city construction plan, and later I met the city manager Mr. Sharp through a friend’s introduction.”

"And on December 16, 2021, through a bribe of US$300,000, we obtained the plan from Mr. Sharp in advance. After that..."

Aqil listed every transaction between him and Sharp in detail.

After listening to what was said, the members of the city hall in the auditorium all felt as if their physical strength had been drained, and they slumped on their chairs helplessly.

Because they know that Sharp is finished, completely finished!

"Your Honor, my name is Gatcia..."

"Your Honor, my name is Forsberg..."

"Your Honor..."

"..."

In the following time, the remaining four witnesses also came into battle and told everything about their relationship and transactions with Sharp Clement.

"You damn bastards, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!"

Sharp looked at the people who were testifying against him one by one, and while roaring, he also rushed forward.

Fortunately, the inspector guarding him was quick-sighted and immediately grabbed him and pinned him to his seat.

As for Clement, after being lost for a while, he suddenly came to his senses. He quickly looked in the direction of David and said in a tearful tone: "Director Jennifer, Tax Commissioner David, and gentlemen from the Internal Revenue Service, Our city hall knows it’s wrong and will cancel the crackdown, so please let us go..."

He knew that Beecher and Adelaide of Sparks were finally sentenced to 1,200 years.

That’s 1,200 years!

And it's the kind that will never be paroled.

He didn't want to go to prison and be a living dead for the rest of his life.

Therefore, even if he lost his temper in court and in front of so many people, he didn't care at all.

Because this is the court of the IRS. As long as his plea for mercy can impress the IRS, he will not have to sit in jail, and maybe he can continue to work as an official!

Compared with this, what is face and dignity?

Seeing that Clement, a dignified deputy mayor, was almost begging for mercy, everyone in the gallery also looked at each other.

But they didn't mean to laugh at or despise Clement.

Because if they were the ones in the dock now, when faced with such a severe punishment, most of them here would choose to put down their dignity and seek peace.

As for the members of the city hall who were watching, their faces felt hot and ashamed.

But even so, they didn't mean to blame Clement too much.

At this time, they even hoped that David and the senior officials of the IRS would accept Clement's surrender on behalf of their city hall.

Because as long as the IRS accepts it, then at least there is room for recovery!

Unfortunately, Judge Sandy's next words on the stage made them look ashen.

On the stage, Sandy first glanced at David, Jennifer and others on the stage, and saw their unmoved expressions.

He had nothing to hesitate, and stood up directly, pronouncing the verdict: "The defendant Sharp was found guilty of tax evasion, and the amount was huge. In addition, as a public official, knowing the law and breaking the law plus one level, he was sentenced to 1,200 years in prison and life-long ban." Parole, plus $510,000 in taxes!"

Sharp, who was furious just now, was frightened out of his mind when he heard that the punishment of 1,200 years had been imposed on his head.

"The defendant Clement was found guilty of tax evasion, and the amount was huge. In addition, as a public official, he knew the law and committed an extra-level crime. He was sentenced to 1,200 years in prison with no possibility of parole for life. He also had to pay taxes of US$280,000!"

Like Sharp, after hearing that he also mentioned 1,200 years later, Clement lost his soul and his eyes became dull.

"Okay, this trial is over!"

As Sandy's verdict came down, the invited people in the auditorium stood up and left.

Jennifer David and others came to Sandy, smiled and shook hands with him one by one to celebrate the complete success of the trial.

…

Carson City, Governor's Mansion.

"What, he was convicted again, or 1,200 years ago? Fake!"

Since live broadcasting and any electronic communication equipment are not allowed at the court hearing, it was only now that Eugene received the call notification.

But after hearing the results of the trial, he became furious and even cursed.

After a long time, after adjusting his emotions, Eugene came to a room door, knocked on it and walked in.

In the room, Stevenson was talking to his wife, Abe Ingrid.

Abe, with tears in his eyes, hugged a photo frame and cried: "I don't care, anyway, I have to make the person who killed my son pay the due price. If you can't handle it, I can go to my uncle." help!"

After hearing the word 'uncle', Stevenson's eyelids jumped sharply.

In the country of the United States, if you don't have the background and resources to successfully run for governor, it's almost as difficult as climbing to the sky.

And the reason why he was able to become the governor of Nevada was certainly not due to how capable he was or how powerful his family was.

It was only with the support of the Mogan family behind his wife that he could reach this point.

He is now in his eighth year in office in Nevada and is about to step down.

His plan is to run for senator or president after leaving office and continue to maintain his influence in the political arena.

Of course, this must be supported by the Mogen family.

But now this happened, and David was just a tax commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service.

For a person of his level, he is not even a minor official.

And as the governor of a state, he has been working hard in Nevada for 8 years. He can't even handle such a little Kalami, and he has to ask the Mogen family for help. What will the people of the Mogen family think?

People will definitely question his ability, so how can they support him in running for the Senate or even the presidency?

"Don't worry, Abe. There's no need to bother your uncle. I will take care of this matter. You should have a good rest first and stop crying..."

Stevenson comforted Abe, and then gave Eugene a look, indicating that he should go out and talk later.

"The situation is not good, Governor. I just received news from the city of Henderson. The two city hall members have been convicted again. It's still 1,200 years of torture!"

Arriving in the corridor outside, Eugene immediately revealed everything.

"Oh shit!"

"This bastard, can he really mess with whoever he wants?"

Judging from Eugene's expression just now, Stevenson had guessed something, but after hearing it was confirmed, he couldn't help but kicked the vase to vent his anger.

Even now, he still couldn't understand how David did it.

Eugene did not dare to take a breath, and said weakly: "I estimate that the other 16 cities are already holding emergency meetings. I am afraid that no matter how much we intimidate and give them more benefits, we will not be able to stabilize them!"

Eugene was afraid that Stevenson would ask him to intimidate City Hall 16 again, so he quickly spoke out first.

Stevenson was silent.

He is not a fool, and neither are the other 16 city halls.

David caused such major earthquakes in two cities one after another. If these people still have the guts to continue to implement his strict crackdown instructions, their courage is probably made of water tanks!

"However, the governor's strict enforcement of instructions almost bankrupted him, but his approach also gave me an inspiration..."

Seeing that Eugene seemed to have some clever plan, Stevenson immediately asked: "What inspiration?"

Eugene looked a little sinister and said: "He can use tax evasion to rectify the city hall and force the city hall to compromise, so can't we use this method to rectify him or someone from the IRS?"

These words made Stevenson's eyes light up instantly.

That's true!

If they can find evidence of David evading taxes or accepting bribes, then this bastard will be dead!

And they will definitely die worse than Beecher and Adelaide!

After all, David is famous for his iron-fisted approach to combating tax evasion, and now many people in Nevada and across the country regard him as an idol.

And if he himself is also suspected of tax evasion, wouldn't these fans feel like they were slapped in the face?

When the time comes, both fans and the public will definitely be outraged!

Not only will this bastard be ruined, but he will also reap the consequences of what he sown!

After all, Beecher and Adelaide are good at knowing and breaking the law!

But you, David, as the tax commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, know more about the black tax laws than Beecher and Adelaide, but you still dare to accept bribes to evade taxes, so you can't use 1,200 years of torture, right?

It will take at least 2-3000 years to be able to benchmark, right?
