American Tax Officer

Chapter 617: Chapter 311: You’re Finished, Amazon
 

At the entrance of the Los Angeles IRS.

Upon seeing the Amazon Legal Department team come out, the throng of media immediately surrounded them with microphones, eager to get some specific information about the conversation between the two parties.

However, Lakruwa and the others hadn’t managed to get a straightforward answer from David, so how could they give the media any information? They could only keep quiet, push through the crowd, and then get into their vehicles.

Bellagio Hotel, this had become the Amazon Legal Team’s place to stay.

As soon as Lakruwa and his colleagues returned to a suite in the hotel, they immediately asked, “What do you think?”

“I think he probably hasn’t got much on us.”

“I think so too.”

“…”

Although they didn’t get much information from David during the conversation, based on his words and demeanor, all four of them believed that David didn’t have much leverage over them.

In fact, Lakruwa thought the same thing, and the four’s response made him feel somewhat more at ease. However, it seemed that he remembered something afterwards and said, “Even if he hasn’t got much on us now, this guy is not ordinary. Just to be safe, I think we must tidy up some ‘loose ends.’ Think about where the problems might be and get someone to deal with them.”

Welber and the others nodded, then each pulled out their phones to start making arrangements.

On the Los Angeles IRS side, David was also busy. He had made several spreadsheets with the information obtained from the Amazon Legal Department, and then called in Simmons, Nelson, and Baki.

“Pick some sharp inspectors and send them to the various states to conduct undercover visits to Amazon’s factories, research centers, and warehouses. Then, reconcile with the local government data and bring me back those reports and data!”

“Understood.”

The three of them took the spreadsheets and immediately left.

…

In the following days, since the Los Angeles IRS was conducting the investigation quietly as per David’s instructions, they became low-profile, and no big news came out.

As for the media and the major social platforms, the heated discussions about the matter continued.

Microsoft, Google, Oracle… these major companies were also watching the developments closely to be ready to respond at a moment’s notice.

As for Freemasonry, they were still trying to secure a presidential pardon for the Sackler family, attempting to strike at David this way.

But unfortunately for them, David was no longer fighting alone.

Because the Ansa Group had explicitly decided to use him as a tool to weaken Freemasonry.

And now, with David actively targeting Amazon Group, these groups naturally were not going to let Freemasonry get away with a pardon that could distract David, and they vigorously resisted Freemasonry’s pressure on the White House.

Seeing this outcome, Freemasonry was naturally grinding their teeth in fury, but due to the ongoing investigation into Amazon, they had to temporarily abandon the idea of a pardon and started to make some arrangements for the situation.

Although Jeff Bezos was not Jewish nor from the Freemasonry Group, this enterprise was, in fact, controlled by a large amount of Jewish capital.

For a giant corporation with a market value close to two trillion, such a company is significant for the Freemasonry Group; they couldn’t just watch idly as the company faced sanctions.@@novelbin@@

Otherwise, it could trigger a domino effect, potentially shaking their economic position in America.

Time quickly arrived at the date of September 15th.

“Good day, viewers. Today is the 11th day since the IRS announced the investigation into Amazon. Currently, the Los Angeles IRS is probably still in the investigative phase. There’s still no news coming out. Let’s wait and see what happens next…”

At the entrance of the Los Angeles IRS, a large number of media were still stationed and reporting.

Meanwhile, there was a knock on the door of the director’s office. Upon receiving a signal from David, Simmons, Nelson, and Baki entered briskly holding files.

“BOSS, as per your request, I’ve formed an investigative team, and we’ve launched investigations in Ohio, Vermont, Alabama… these states. We’ve found that the Amazon research centers in Cincinnati, Ohio, Montpelier, Vermont, and… these places have equipment that doesn’t actually meet the local government’s requirements. Many areas only met half of the standards, but because they hit the economic indicators, the local government turned a blind eye.”

Simmons said, placing the obtained documents on David’s desk as he spoke.

David took them and began to examine them carefully.

After reviewing them, a smile emerged on the corner of his mouth.

Simmons was right, the Amazon research center’s equipment standards in these places did not meet the local government’s requirements.

This meant that their participation in the tax increase reduction policy was indeed violating regulations.

“Director, as per your instructions, I’ve also formed an investigative team and began investigations in Nevada, Alabama… these states. I’ve confirmed that their facilities in cities like Montgomery, Las Vegas… these factories and warehouses have not reached the scale that qualifies for tax subsidies, and their equipment and facilities also do not meet the conditions for tax increase reduction. They were propped up purely because of economic indicators!”
