United states tax collector

Outside the official residence, the media and the people who came to watch were still discussing it. But when they saw people coming out of the door one after another, they all became quiet and cast curious eyes over.

"Hey, that's...a member of the Thackle family!"

"Yes, that is Arthur, the head of the Sackler family. They are really in the governor's mansion. In other words, the reason why the IRS sent out weapons this time is really for them!"

"The governor called in the National Guard to protect the Thacker family, and the IRS called in armed forces to rob people. This is confirmed, and what follows is exciting..."

Although almost everyone had guessed before, the reason why the Internal Revenue Service deployed armed forces was because the Sackler family was protected by the governor as a last resort.

But the speculation was just a guess after all, and now, they finally saw it confirmed with their own eyes, which shocked everyone.

And having said that, this time David forcibly took someone away from the governor. This was definitely a slap in the face of the California governor in front of the whole world. So, can the California governor be able to swallow this?

Next, whether the governor will anger the IRS because of this matter, and whether the IRS's tax revenue in California will be affected, this is what many people are now concerned about.

"You bring the people back to the bureau first, and Major Fernanprio, you can let your people close the team. Thank you for your hard work."

David confessed, then raised his legs and walked towards the area where the media was.

This matter has become too big now, and he must stand up and issue a statement to alleviate the public opinion storm that the IRS will face next.

"Director David, may I ask why the Sackler family is here? Are they under the protection of Mr. Governor?"

"Director David, does your IRS have any evidence of the Sackler family's crimes?"

"Director David, did you have a conflict with Governor Borgwana?"

"..."

As soon as they saw David's arrival, all the media started asking questions.

David pressed his hands down to signal everyone to quiet down. After the scene was completely silent, he said: "I want to make it clear that our IRS has not had any conflict with Mr. Governor. The reason why we are here is, first of all, , because the family’s tax issues were discovered.”

"Secondly, it's because we received news that members of the Sackler family have visited the governor's residence, and there are terrorists in this family with the intention of attacking Mr. Governor. We are here to arrest this family and also to protect the governor. gentlemen."

As soon as the words fell, everyone's brains felt dazed.

Are there terrorists in the Sackler family?

Are you planning to attack the governor?

But soon, everyone reacted quickly.

There are no terrorists, this is just an excuse made by the IRS to avoid the situation from escalating.

The truth of the matter is probably as everyone thinks. The governor originally planned to protect the Thacker family, which led to the current situation!

Thinking of this, the media began to ask again: "Director David, since the 9/11 incident, our country's anti-terrorism security has been upgraded by several levels. As an international metropolis, Los Angeles' security here is even more stringent. There is no such thing as Can terrorists sneak in? Can they also enter the governor's mansion? "

"That's not necessarily the case. No matter how strict the security is, there are loopholes. Well, I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I'll go back first."

David came here for the interview just to issue a legal statement about this operation. It doesn't matter whether these people believe it or not, just let them say whatever they want.

This night is destined to be another sleepless night for countless people.

Because many people have received the news that the trial of the Thackle family will be held tomorrow in the court of the Internal Revenue Service Bureau in Los Angeles.

At such a rapid pace, many people can basically conclude that the Los Angeles Internal Revenue Service has obtained a very precise chain of evidence about the Thackle family.

Governor's Mansion.

After receiving the news, Borgwana was silent for a long time. Finally, he seemed to have made some important decision and said, "Please inform me that I want to convene a Masonic meeting!"

"Mr. Governor, this...is not necessary."

All members of the Freemasonry can hold a Masonic meeting as long as they reach level 20; all members are invited to gather to discuss important matters.

The current Borgwana is at level 25. At this level, this authority can only be used once every two years.

Therefore, Winiford felt that convening a Masonic meeting on this matter would be a waste of biennial resources.

After all, if they want to retaliate against David, given the power their state government has, there are still many ways to do it.

"No, it must be convened, otherwise how can the Sackler family receive a presidential pardon!"

"ah?"

Listening to Borgwana's words, Winiford felt a little confused for the first time, but he quickly came to his senses and asked suddenly: "Mr. Governor, do you want the Thackle family to receive amnesty?" ?”

"How come the person was taken away from me, I will tell him how to release him!"

With his power as governor, there are indeed many ways to retaliate against the IRS, but none of these retaliations can relieve the pain he has suffered today.

It's so embarrassing that the fucking armed forces surrounded his governor's mansion.

Therefore, in Bogwana's mind, only after David sends the Thacker family in, and then he rescues the members of this family in front of the whole world, can he severely defeat David. s face!

Of course, in addition to making this statement, he also has to do something if he wants to stabilize California's economy and prevent it from showing signs of fleeing due to the Sackler family incident.

For example, rescuing the sanctioned Sackler family from David's hands will make those large and small Utah companies think that he, Borgwana, is still capable of protecting them.

To do this, a Masonic meeting must be held.

Because only by using the influence of the Freemasons can we exert pressure on the White House to achieve this goal. Otherwise, he alone as the governor of California will not have enough influence to make the White House do this.

"I understand, I'll inform you right away."

Winiford didn't say anything more and immediately turned around and left.

…

The time came the next morning.

"Good morning, viewers, this is KNBS TV. We have arrived at the entrance of the Internal Revenue Service in Los Angeles. The trial against the Sackler family will be held at 10 o'clock in the morning. Currently, the Internal Revenue Service does not allow the media to enter the venue. Let us wait. The next result will be..."

A large number of media reporters have arrived at the door of the Los Angeles Internal Revenue Service and are broadcasting the situation at the scene.

Inside the IRS, David was looking through the evidence files for the upcoming trial. After confirming that there were no problems, he pushed out the door and came to Judge Nicola's office to communicate.

At 9.50, David and Nicole pushed the two of them out of the door and walked towards the court.

When they arrived, the invited people in the auditorium were already sitting in their seats, and everything on site was ready.

"All rise."

In the passage, Nicola came out, sat down on the seat, and said: "Bring the defendant with you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, important members of the Sackler family were brought out from the passage on the other side, including Hobson, who had previously killed Higgins.

However, due to his leg injury, his appearance was quite unusual. He was pushed out in a wheelchair.

"The defendants Arthur Tackler, Mariano Tackler, Theresa Tackler Hobson Tackler...are now accusing you of tax evasion. What do you say?"

Faced with Nicola's question, the lawyer for the Sackler family immediately stood up and replied: "Your Honor, my client denies this accusation."

"Okay, please ask Director David to come out and make a statement."

David stood up from the gallery, walked to the front of the court with two documents, and said: "Your Honor, I have a document here that can confirm that Purdue Pharmaceuticals, controlled by the Sackler family, between 2001 and 2015 During this period of the year, a large amount of tax fraud was suspected.”

"There is also a document that can confirm that from 2016 to 2022, many members of the Sackler family illegally sold OxyContin to pharmaceutical companies, pharmacies, and criminals, knowing that they were already under the supervision of regulatory authorities. This medicine has made huge profits from it!”

After finishing speaking, the bailiff immediately took away the two documents and handed them to Nicola at the table. After carefully reading them for ten minutes, Nicola looked at the defendant's seat and said: "The defendant, according to the documents, arrived in 2001." In 2015, your family reached tens of billions of transactions with Silk Pharmaceutical Group, Aonaner Medical Company, and... However, according to your Purdue Pharma's financial report, it was only 3.66 billion. How can you explain this? "

"Your Honor, I would like to see this document."

"Can."

The bailiff immediately took the document to the Nicola family's lawyer, and after looking at it carefully, the lawyer finally shook his head helplessly at Arthur in the dock.

"Defendants Hobson, Mariano, Theresa..., according to this document, from 2016 to 2022, your family was ordered by the regulatory authorities to ban the large-scale sale of the drug OxyContin because of the scandal. Finally, in March 2016, you announced a 70% production cut.”

"According to the documents, your output did not decrease, but increased by 1.6% year-on-year. According to the data, these excess outputs were sold to some criminals, as Director David said, How do you explain it?”

After that, there was no need to wait for the lawyer to speak. Nicola handed the document directly to the bailiff, and the bailiff quickly transferred it to the Sackler family lawyer.

After some observation, the lawyer said: "Your Honor, although this document confirms that Purdue Pharma's production has increased, it does not prove that it must have been sold to criminals."

Nicola did not rush to refute, but looked at David. David did not waste any words and said: "Your Honor, this document does not completely prove that the excess production was sold to criminals, but it doesn't matter. , I have witnesses and ask for permission to attend.”

"allow."

In the passage, a group of people were led out by IRS inspectors, but to the surprise of many people in the gallery, Victoria from the Camorra family was among them.

But they soon understood that the Camorra family should have an interest relationship with the Thackle family, so they were also 'incited' to testify.

"Defendant, please introduce yourself and your relationship with this case."

Nicola asked immediately after the witness came to the witness stand.

Victoria was the first to stand up and said: "Your Honor, my name is Victoria Camorra. My family and I have cooperated with the Sackler family since they came under supervision in 2016. Every day we A batch of OxyContin worth 20 million yuan will be sent to them every month..."

After she told her in detail, everyone now understood the transaction between the two families, and it was confirmed that during the period from 2016 to 2022, the Sackler family had indeed diverted excess Oxycontin production. Part of it was sold to the Camorra family.

In other words, the Sackler family not only increased production in violation of regulations, but also failed to pay the tax due to the Internal Revenue Service for the benefits brought by the increased production capacity.

After Victoria finished speaking, she looked at David with a somewhat uneasy expression. It wasn't until David nodded that her face showed joy.

She finally doesn't have to die in jail anymore.

She only needs to stay for up to ten years, and then she can come out and enjoy this wonderful world again!

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

In the following time, the remaining witnesses also took turns to testify, confirming the transactions with the Sackler family over the years.

At this time, everyone in the gallery has come to a conclusion. The Sackler family, which has survived repeated bombings by the Department of Justice, FBI, Food and Drug Administration, and Congressional hearings, has fallen into the hands of the IRS. !

However, it is worth mentioning that there was one thing that made many people at the scene feel strange.

Logically speaking, we have reached such a situation where death is imminent. The people of the Sackler family will not say that they are pissed off, but at least you must have the emotions of panic and uneasiness, right?

But the Sackler family in the dock, not to mention important figures such as Arthur, Mariano and Theresa, even the second generation ancestors like Hobson did not show much panic or uneasiness, which is very strange. normal!

What is the reason why the Sackler family is still so confident at this time?

Could it be that……

Still counting on the governor of California who had sheltered them before to rescue them?

But now it is a solid case, and they are about to be sentenced and sent to prison. No matter how powerful the governor of California is, there is no way he can save them.

Everyone in the auditorium thought about this for a long time but didn't understand it.

Of course, what they didn't expect was that the reason why the Sackler family didn't panic until now was because they had received news that Borgwana was going to hold a Masonic meeting.

Moreover, the content of the meeting will be to put pressure on the White House to obtain a pardon from the president. This is the reason why they have not shown panic until now!

"The verdict is now pronounced. The defendants Arthur Thacker, Mariano Thackle, and Theresa Thacker... were found guilty of tax fraud and tax evasion, and the amount was extremely large, and were sentenced to 1,000 years in prison. Life without parole!”

"The defendant, Hobson Sackler, was suspected of tax evasion and killing an IRS inspector... He was found guilty and sentenced to 10,000 years in prison with no possibility of parole for life!"

"For the above defendants and the involved Purdue Pharma, in addition to recovering tax evasion funds, a combined penalty of US$13 billion will be imposed!"

As Nicola's verdict came down, many people in the gallery felt their hearts tremble.

First of all, Hobson of the Tackler family, this is the second prisoner in the history of the IRS to be sentenced to 10,000 years in prison after Rodgorski.

This can be regarded as paying the due price for killing the IRS auditor.

Secondly, there is a $13 billion fine.

You know, in 2018, the Sackler family and the Ministry of Justice also reached a fine, but it was only 8.3 billion.

But now it is 13 billion. If this is really implemented and collected, even a wealthy family like the Sacklers may have to go bankrupt.

"This trial is over!"

People in the auditorium began to get up and leave one after another, and Nissen also came to David and said seriously: "Director, there seems to be something wrong. Their emotions should not be stable."

David was not blind. He naturally saw that the Sackler family members were emotionally stable from before the sentencing to after the sentencing. Could it be that someone gave them reassurance?

But what kind of reassurance can make them so calm?

"Director David, thank you very much for everything you have done."

The sound of a voice from behind made David stop his thoughts and turn his head. It turned out to be Higgins's wife and son Morghi. They were also invited to watch the trial today.

"No thanks, this is what I should do."

"The murderer can be punished as he deserves. I believe you can comfort my husband's spirit in heaven."

"Yes ma'am, have you encountered any difficulties these days?"

"No, we're fine."

"That's good……"

After chatting for a while, David left first because he had to go out to inform the media about the results of the trial.

After arriving at the door, the media immediately rushed to ask questions, and David also told the sentence and the amount of the penalty one by one.

"Ward Law, Hobson, the murderer of the IRS inspector, was sentenced to 10,000 years in prison? How terrible!"

"What a joy, the damn Sackler family has finally been punished!"

"Haha, before, the Ministry of Justice, Food and Drug Administration, FBI, and even congressional hearings couldn't do anything about the Sackler family. The IRS had to take action!"

When they heard the outcome of the trial, the people who were paying attention across the country were instantly excited.

Especially those families who were harmed by Purdue Pharma, they all clapped their hands and cheered loudly because the Sackler family was finally punished.
