Chapter 596: Chapter 300: Next time, let’s take our Kennedy out_2
 

Indeed, the funds for the with the ‘W’ initiative were about to be fully raised. One wonders whether Ansa Group, once it gets the money, would continue to shield it from the pressure of Freemasonry or, due to interference from other factors, elect to withdraw. The variables in play certainly require some serious contemplation.

…

Since the exposé by The Washington Post emerged, to verify the authenticity of the aircraft carrier incident, the entrance to the Los Angeles IRS had been completely surrounded by a dense crowd of reporters.

To avoid trouble, upon their return, David and his team did not enter through the front door but quietly came in through a side entrance.

Having learned of his return, the high-ranking officials within the IRS immediately sought him out, primarily for two reasons.

Because when David had initially taken the fleet to Illuminati Island, fearing word would slip out, he had only informed these individuals that he needed to leave for a few days to handle Satoshi Nakamoto’s business, without going into specifics.

Therefore, regarding how that 20 billion was recovered, the senior officials were actually not very clear on the details.

Upon seeing the media release this news, they too were greatly shocked and wished to ascertain whether the story was indeed true.

As for the second reason, they wanted to inquire how, now that the affair had caused such a stir and the whole world was seeking the truth, the Los Angeles IRS should handle it.

After pondering for a moment, David instructed Nisen to announce “Arrange a press conference. You’ll represent the Los Angeles IRS and issue a statement denying the report.”

“Understood, Director.”

Before long, the media had received news that the Los Angeles IRS was going to hold a press conference. They gathered in the lobby on the first floor as directed and waited.

However, upon seeing Nisen instead of David, everyone appeared somewhat disappointed.

“Greetings to all media friends. I am here to make a statement on behalf of the Los Angeles IRS. Regarding The Washington Post’s report, we would like to deny it here and now. As for the 20 billion of Satoshi Nakamoto’s assets, we did not deploy any aircraft carrier to recover them overseas. However, as to how they were recovered, that involves our confidentiality regulations and is not suitable for public disclosure. We hope you can understand!” Nisen said.

After Nisen’s remarks concluded, there was an immediate uproar at the venue.@@novelbin@@

Setting aside the fact that The Washington Post’s reporting was well-founded, over this period, with the probing and investigation of various major media outlets, numerous new clues had been obtained.

All these clues pointed towards the USS Washington Aircraft Carrier fleet having left port for several days under David’s instructions.

But now the Los Angeles IRS stands up to deny this—who would believe that!

“Tax Investigator Nisen, if the Washington aircraft carrier fleet was not mobilized by the IRS, then why did it suddenly leave port for a few days during resupplying time?”

“Tax Investigator Nisen, we have investigated and found that the period during which the USS Washington Aircraft Carrier left port aligns with the days Director David disappeared. How do you explain that?”

“…”

When faced with the relentless questioning of the media, Nisen was not at all flustered and coolly replied, “As to why the Washington left port, I think you need to ask the military. Regarding why our Director wasn’t visible during those days, it is due to work requirements that are not convenient to disclose. Alright, I’ve said all that needs to be said about this matter; let’s leave it at that!”

With that, he briskly walked away, leaving behind the still-chattering media personnel.

Soon after the Los Angeles IRS issued its denying statement, the America Navy Department also convened a press conference, similarly denying the incident with the aircraft carrier fleet.

“Heh, first the IRS and now the Navy Department. These two departments seem to have formed a tacit agreement—I’m convinced now more than ever that the incident must be true!”

“All signs indicate that David’s disappearance those few days definitely had to do with the USS Washington’s departure. It’s just unclear where they went.”

“The fact that Director David would mobilize an aircraft carrier fleet for a show of force suggests that Satoshi Nakamoto is no ordinary individual. It’s just unknown what his real identity is.”

“…”

Even though both involved departments had stepped forward to deny the incident, they still could not stop the various speculations and discussions among netizens on all the major social platforms.

Of course, for David, he had already issued a denial statement; as for those who still questioned him, he couldn’t be bothered to care anymore.

After arranging the collected data from various cryptocurrency companies, he ordered several departments to verify the details again, planning to send it directly to the said companies once he confirmed there were no issues.

The next morning.

At the Ethereum headquarters, Vikram was handling affairs at his office.

Just then, his secretary knocked on the door and walked in with a thick folder, placing it on the desk before saying, “Mr. Vikram, this was sent over from the Los Angeles IRS.”

Upon hearing it was from the Los Angeles IRS, Vikram’s expression immediately turned grave; he took the folder, opened it, and began to review the contents.

But as he perused the information, which kept emerging in front of his eyes, his expression changed dramatically, and his hands involuntarily began to tremble.

Because these documents involved many of his company’s secrets, such as the source of some illegal funds and data from Ethereum transactions used by some criminals, among other things.

It could be said that if the IRS took these things to court, Ethereum would certainly be unable to defend itself.

“Fake Yau, how the hell did they get ahold of these!”

After being stunned for a while, Vikram finally regained some composure and slammed the documents on the desk.

He couldn’t quite understand how David managed to collect such confidential information about their company.

“Get Walaston, Lance, and the others to the conference room,” he instructed.

Vikram stood up, full of fury, and walked out.

Soon, senior executives of Ethereum who received the message started arriving at the conference room one after another; upon seeing Vikram’s grim expression, they all felt a sudden pang of fear.

Vikram didn’t rush to explain; instead, he threw the file onto the desk of a senior executive beside him and said, “Take a look at this.”

The executive immediately picked it up and began to scrutinize the contents, but his expression quickly turned very ugly, unintentionally letting out a curse, “Fake.”

At this point the others couldn’t hold back and gathered around; after reviewing the documents, everyone had the same grim expression on their face.

“We underestimated David. No wonder he has been silent these last few days; it seems he was preparing to go after us in secret.”

“Although we don’t know how he got hold of these, we are now on the back foot…”

“Heh, he even managed to get his hands on such confidential data; I suspect there must be a mole in our company, don’t you think?”

After the mention of a mole, many of the senior executives present began looking at each other nervously, as if avoiding being singled out.

“Stop stirring up confusion. Everyone present is one of us, no one would sell out the company for the IRS; he must have obtained this through other means,” said Vikram, knowing that they couldn’t afford to panic, and quickly stood up to steady people’s hearts.

“Mr. Vikram, no matter what, since David has these materials at hand, we certainly cannot remain indifferent anymore,” said an executive. “I believe that the best option now would be to follow Bitcoin and Binance’s lead and pay our way out of this disaster.”

Hearing this, many present wanted to object, but the words just wouldn’t come out.

Lambs to the slaughter.

If it were before, when the IRS didn’t have any leverage on them, they could certainly feign ignorance; but now not only did the IRS possess their leverage, they had also sent it over as a warning. If they continued to feign ignorance, the next thing they might receive could be a subpoena from the court.

And the consequences of going to court weren’t simply fixed by paying off a disaster; they could all end up imprisoned for tax evasion.
