United states tax collector

Wakelin seemed unwilling to accept such a result. He looked around at the crowd and asked, "Is there a better way?"

The Ethereum executives present also stared at each other, but in the end no one said a word.

Seeing this, Wakelin could only sigh helplessly and said: "Inform those 'bosses'!"

Behind Ethereum are investors from more than 20 consortiums including Mogen Chase, Chicago Exchange Group, Bank of New York Mellon, Thomson Reuters, Microsoft, Intel, and Accenture.

After the IRS named them, they immediately sought help from these consortiums.

However, because they were facing the IRS and the influence exerted by the Angsa Group in order to obtain funding for the W aid bill, these consortiums did not dare to get involved rashly, so the decision-making power was returned to their hands.

But now that there is no way out, they can only inform these consortiums and then surrender.

While Ethereum is in chaos, at the same time, cryptocurrency companies such as USDT are not much better, because they also received documents from the Los Angeles Internal Revenue Service, and the contents of the documents, naturally Also information about their respective companies’ tax violations.

After some discussions, cryptocurrency companies such as USDT also had no good options and began to prepare to pay taxes to the Los Angeles Internal Revenue Service.

2 p.m., Los Angeles IRS.

Although one day has passed since the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of the Navy issued a negative statement on the aircraft carrier incident, the popularity of the matter is still unabated, and a large number of media are still stationed here, trying to find out more information.

At this moment, the arrival of two BMW 7 Series cars instantly attracted the attention of the media personnel.

After seeing that it was Wakelin who got out of the car, there was an uproar at the scene and online.

“That’s Ethereum CEO Wakelin!”

"Since David called the roll call, Ethereum has been pretending to be an ostrich. It seems that it can no longer pretend."

"On the surface, it seems that the Los Angeles IRS has not done much during this period, and Ethereum also seems to be fine, but I feel that something must have happened secretly!"

"..."

As many people have said, since David named major companies by announcing the arrival of Satoshi Nakamoto funds, companies such as the Los Angeles IRS and Ethereum have fallen into a delicate state of non-interference.

But now with the arrival of Wakelin, everyone suddenly realized that the so-called state of non-interference was only on the surface, and things might have been turbulent behind the scenes.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Ethereum to suddenly appear at the Los Angeles Internal Revenue Service without any warning today.

Here, after walking into the Los Angeles Internal Revenue Service, Wakelin was quickly taken into David's office. He forced a smile, stretched out his right hand and said, "Director David, nice to see you. "

"Nice to have you here, too, Mr. Wakelin."

David replied knowingly, and then changed the topic: "Oh, by the way, Mr. Wakelin, have you received the documents our IRS sent you?"

Wakelin's face changed slightly, but he quickly pretended to be nonchalant and replied: "I got it. Regarding tax issues, our company does have a lot of omissions. I have ordered the tax department to sort out the relevant personnel. As for The taxes that need to be paid..."

"A total of 18.16 billion, thank you."

When he heard the number reported by David, Wakelin, who had been mentally prepared for a massive hemorrhage, was stunned. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and asked with a red face: "Director David, according to your According to statistics, the total tax amount is only 15.16 billion. How come there are suddenly 3 billion more? "

David took down a booklet from the shelf next to him, turned to page 56, and then pointed to one of the provisions and said to him: "Look at Mr. Wakelin, according to the tax law, the IRS has the right to punish those who refuse to cooperate." Enterprises are subject to certain penalties. The amount of the penalty is calculated based on the percentage of the amount required to be paid. The tax levied on you is the capital gains tax. According to the proportion, it should be 3 billion and 6 million more, but I see that you are also considered If you know your mistakes, you can correct them, and I’ll wipe them out for you.”

After hearing what he said, Wakelin almost couldn't resist the urge to vomit blood.

Since you said that I know my mistakes and can correct them, why should you punish me with an additional 3 billion yuan?

And this is still the result of erasing the fraction and collecting the less?

It took a while for Wakelin to finally regain his composure. It was already taxing him to pay such a large amount of tax. If he was defrauded of another 3 billion yuan, he would really have nothing to lose. Fa explained to the major consortiums and could only defend himself: "Director David, we at Ethereum did not say we would not cooperate with the IRS. After you named him, we ordered the tax department to investigate. This will take time. "

"needs time?"

David looked at him with eyes full of wisdom and said: "Mr. Wakelin, with the size of your company, does it take so many days to check your own taxes? What's more, an outsider from our IRS can do this It’s taken a few days to check your situation so thoroughly, you can’t be later than us, right?”

"this……"

Wakelin choked.

Yes, an outsider from the Internal Revenue Service can clearly investigate the situation of their company, but they themselves are slower.

This is like a person who doesn't know how much money he has in his pocket, but wants others to remind him. Therefore, this defense is simply untenable.

But he couldn't accept it if he was asked to offer an extra 3 billion. He then argued: "Director David, more than 15 billion is no longer a small number. It's almost enough. Otherwise, I won't be able to ask for it." I hope you can understand what the consortium that invested in us explained..."

"That's your business, not our IRS business!"

Seeing David being so heartless, Wakelin also froze on the spot, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly dropped.

"Why did you go to Ethereum earlier? When I called my name, if you were as honest as Binance and came to deal with the tax issues, then you wouldn't have to pay extra fines. So, the responsibility for the subsequent losses lies with you. On yourselves!”

"But Director David..."

"No more!"

Before he could finish speaking, David interrupted him and said in a cold tone: "I have already issued 18.16 billion in taxes and fines, that is 18.16 billion, and there cannot be a dime less. If you, Ethereum, are not willing to pay, then we won’t force you to do so, just meet us in court then!”

Seeing that the matter had escalated to the court, Wakelin's face also showed signs of anger and unwillingness, but in the end it turned into helplessness, and he stood up and walked out.

About ten minutes later, he walked in again and said, "Okay, as you said, we will pay 18.16 billion, and that's the end of it."

"very good……"

In front of the Los Angeles Internal Revenue Service.

After waiting anxiously for more than half an hour, I finally saw Wakelin walking out. A group of reporters immediately walked up with microphones to ask questions.

But Wakelin, who was so deflated and bleeding so much, had no intention of accepting an interview. He got into his car and left, leaving only the media who were still confused.

But before they could think about it for too long, Nissen came out of the bureau and everyone came to their senses instantly, and they immediately surrounded him.

"Inspector Nissen, how is the negotiation between the Los Angeles Internal Revenue Service and Ethereum going?"

Nissen pressed his hands down and said: "We had a good negotiation with Ethereum. They also admitted that they did have tax problems. In addition to the back payment of 15.16 billion U.S. dollars, they also 'voluntarily' paid us an extra 30 billion in fines. On behalf of our IRS, I would like to express my gratitude to the Ethereum company for its tax contribution!”

"Oh, come on, 15.16 billion in taxes plus 3 billion in tax penalties? Does Ethereum actually have so many tax omissions!"

"As the second most valuable cryptocurrency in the world, it is not unusual for Ethereum to pay 15.16 billion in tax funds. What I am more concerned about is the 3 billion tax penalty. This is probably a punishment for their previous ostrich behavior! "

"Haha, Binance is probably snickering now. Fortunately, they paid the fee honestly after being named. If they had delayed it until now like Ethereum, they would have been punished."

“Companies like USDT will probably tremble after hearing this news!”

After hearing Nissen's report, netizens on major social media instantly became excited.

And as netizens said, after Binance heard that Ethereum was fined an additional 3 billion, the senior executives headed by Zhao Changpeng and Lin Huaide were indeed happy and felt very proud of the decisions they had made before. Rejoice.

Of course, some people are happy and some are sad.

After seeing Ethereum being fined an additional 3 billion, USDT and other companies that had not yet come were heartbroken. However, in order to avoid suffering more penalties, they did not dare to drag it out any longer, and they rushed to the market as quickly as possible. Rushing towards Los Angeles at a fast speed.

In the next two days, the Los Angeles IRS put aside other matters and focused on dealing with the remaining cryptocurrency companies.

Until the third day, basically all the tax situations of cryptocurrency companies have been processed.

Keppel walked into David's office with all the processed information and said: "Director David, this is the tax processing completion report on all cryptocurrency companies. Please take a look."

David picked it up and read it carefully. After confirming that there was no problem, he ordered: "In an hour, hold a media conference."

So far, the tax clearance in the entire cryptocurrency field has been a complete success. Therefore, the press conference is not only to make a report to the society, but also to show his achievements to all walks of life and pave the way for entering the General Administration.

An hour later, all the media came to the lobby on the first floor.

David also stepped into the spotlight surrounded by senior officials in the bureau and said: "Hello friends from the media and the audience who are watching, this press conference is held to inform everyone. For the tax clearance situation in the cryptocurrency field.”

As soon as they heard this, the media at the scene and people online became interested instantly.

Except for large companies such as Ethereum and USDT, the tax amounts of smaller cryptocurrency companies have not been reported in the past two days. Therefore, many people currently do not know how much money the IRS has collected in this tax audit. Just a rough guess.

But fortunately, now, they can finally know the specific amount.

"Okay, I won't whet your appetite. Regarding the tax clearance in the field of cryptocurrency, all taxes are added together. Our Los Angeles Internal Revenue Service has a total revenue of 58.83 billion U.S. dollars. This is the specific number. Thank you for your continued support of us. Thank you for your attention to the work, and we will continue to work hard! ”

Satoshi Nakamoto's income has exceeded 20 billion, Ethereum is 18.1 billion, and USDT is 12 billion. Adding in the scattered cryptocurrency companies, this figure comes to 58.8 billion.

"Oh my god, it's actually 58.8 billion. This is much more than the tax value obtained by Hollywood's tax clearance!"

"It's normal. Since the birth of cryptocurrency, it has been used by many criminals for money laundering, drug financing and other purposes. In addition, the country's tax laws for it have always been very vague, so it is normal to receive such a huge tax now."

"It is similar to what many of us have speculated before. The tax revenue in the entire cryptocurrency field is about 50-60 billion, but it is a pity that this money will be cheaper for others..."

"Oh, what a pity. The money Director David finally received was used in the W aid bill to help those damn Ukrainians. How great it would be if it were used in our own country! "

At first, many people expressed emotion when they heard about this huge sum of money. But in the end, when they realized that the money would soon be used for the W aid bill, these people's mood instantly dropped.

And here, after hearing this amount, the happiest people are the Angsa Group who control the military-industrial complex.

They have been coveting this amount of money from the IRS for a long time, and now not only have they collected it, they have even received more than 30 billion more than the 100 billion. This can be said to be an unexpected surprise among surprises.

In order to obtain these tens of billions of additional benefits, many people in the Angsa Group have even begun to plan additional funding regulations after the passage of the W aid bill.

Of course, in addition to the Angsa Group, interest groups in the medical, education, and energy fields are also interested.

The initial budget for the W bill was set at 100 billion, but now the Los Angeles Internal Revenue Service clearly has an extra budget of more than 30 billion.

Can't all this money go to your military-industrial complex?

We also need to drink some soup, right?

In order to obtain the extra 30 billion, many forces began to show their magical powers across the sea. Unknowingly, the United States fell into an undercurrent.
