Chapter 79 Property Crimes
Liu Feiyan: "There are still three months to go until the North American Hunting Championship. First of all, there is bad news, an old member of the cheetah passed away last night. The captain is now dealing with the aftermath. Due to the loss of old member points, our cheetah group is currently demoted to a three-star hunter and is not eligible to participate in the North American Hunting Competition. The only way to do that is to catch a few big fish. ”
Yuan Forget raised his hand: "Category B criminals can only be arrested below four stars, and the points can't be rushed." ”
Liu Feiyan corrected: "No, one-star hunters are also qualified to arrest Class A criminals. Just to protect hunters, the information of Category A criminals is not open to hunters who have not reached the four-star. In Ye Ye's continuous update of the computer, the biggest problem faced by the cheetah is to catch a Class A criminal within three months, so that the points can reach four stars again, and meet the minimum standard for participating in the North American hunt. ”
Ye Ye said: "Because the law has relaxed the scope of bail money pursuit, the full bail money waiver has also become the target of our arrest, so the number of Class A criminals has increased a lot. According to my statistics, the ratio of violent crime to property crime is about 1:4. I don't know what flavor you like? Is it a fight of courage or a battle of wits and brains?"
Yuan Forget asked: "Property should be easier to grasp, right?"
Liu Feiyan: "Theoretically, yes, property offenders usually don't resist by force and arrest them directly. But if I had a choice, I would prefer to face violent offenders. Property criminals have no force? No, people have money, and if they have money, they have force. One is more cunning than the other, even if the other party does not resist, your normal arrest may also be suspected of illegal arrest, you must know that the lawyers of these people are top lawyers. Framing, faking, lying is just routine work for them.
According to statistics, white-collar crime in the United States can cause $200 billion in economic losses a year. Violent crime caused only $11 billion in economic losses, which is a lot, but compared to white-collar crime, it is simply pediatric.
A well-known white-collar criminal named Wes orchestrated more than 90 frauds and bankrupted the insurance company. and absconded to Austria on bail. He was initially sentenced to more than 800 years, but in the second instance, with the mediation of his lawyer, the sentence was finally commuted to 35 years.
But less than $100 million of the $450 million that Weiss was involved in was recovered.
Liu Feiyan: "Although I don't want to, there is only one white-collar criminal fugitive who has clues." His name is Wayne, and he falsified and manipulated the stock price. In November last year, he was released on bail through a bail guarantor and paid a bail of $200,000, and absconded to many countries in South America. ”
Liu Feiyan said: "Using the kindness of human nature is a means that we are unwilling to use, but it is effective. Yesterday afternoon, Wayne's sister died in a car accident and will be funeral in four days. Wayne's parents died young, his sister was like his mother, and friends in the FBI thought Wayne would return to Newtang in the near future. ”
Zhao Wu asked: "In that case, why doesn't the FBI directly set up a network?"
Liu Feiyan replied: "The first reason is that the FBI has been overwhelmed by Benjamin, and the main forces have been transferred to prove that Benjamin Reinardo is Benjamin Hanke. The second reason is that he is my friend and he is willing to help me rush for a point. The third reason is that the information is relatively vague, and it is not certain that Vane will definitely return to Newdown. Mainly the second reason. I don't call it friendship, I call it trading. ”
Liu Feiyan: "Ximen's incident made me lose some points. But Nicole did a good job of this, so my friend reciprocated us with an order. I know that people are unhappy with me about Simon, but I want to tell you that no matter how much you help each other and use each other, you will not lose out on limited cooperation with the FBI. Of course, you also need to make connections, you need to know the people who are really in power. ”
Liu Feiyan: "My personal suggestion is to strengthen the contact with the FBI on a legal basis. The captain is not here today, and we will not discuss this topic. Since my friend sent Vane, it's our job to capture Vane. Ye Ye, Venn Information. ”
......
Ye Ye: "Wayne, thirty-eight years old, former deputy director of finance of Mars Technology Group. During his tenure, he took advantage of his position to get close to the directors of the group and obtained inside information by illegal means, earning at least US$1 million from the stock market. At the same time, in order to obtain maximum benefits, it deliberately created false accounts and anonymously reported the group, which led to the group being fined a huge amount by the CSRC for publishing false information a year ago. Venn previously shorted the group in the securities market, making a profit of more than $3 million. ”
Ye Ye: "In October last year, during an internal investigation of the group, important evidence of Wien's involvement in the case was discovered. After the group reported to the police, the police found Wayne at the home of Wayne's wife, and found Wayne's offshore account. There were $3.5 million in the account, and Vane refused to give an account of the source of the money. In the end, Wayne paid $200,000 bail and was released on bail. After being released on bail, Vane absconded that night. According to information provided by the national penalty, Wien was present in Brazil in March of this year. ”
Liu Feiyan asked, "Have you noticed that the case is a little strange?"
Zhao Wu replied: "If Venn only made a profit of three or four million US dollars, it doesn't make much sense for him to abscond when the offshore account is frozen." The penalty for white-collar crimes is not high, and Wayne can file for personal bankruptcy. Great is a matter of a few years in prison. ”
Liu Feiyan said: "To the point, according to my friend's explanation, the amount of money that Wayne is suspected of may exceed 100 million. It is said that an international capital sniped at Mars Technology Group and bought short together with Wayne, because Wayne created false accounts, which led to a huge fine for Mars Technology Group, and also caused the group's stock to plummet. ”
The so-called short buying is to bet that the stock will fall, and the worse it falls, the more you will earn. It's the opposite of buying long.
Liu Feiyan said: "The FBI suspects that someone hired Venn to create false accounts, which led to the group's negative profits. When Wayne helped the other party to make false accounts for the group, he also shorted the group's shares. Therefore, it is speculated that Vane's assets are not limited to frozen accounts. ”
Liu Feiyan: "We don't pay attention to the details of the case, but we must know how many resources the opponent has. The positioning of Vane should be that of a wealthy man. The fact that he was able to abscond to Brazil shows that he has some black connections and channels. So we had to be more strategic when it came to capturing Wayne. But I don't think there's a chance of violent confrontation. ”
Yuan Forget asked: "International Tourist Capital hired Vaine to short the group, will they be worried that Venn will betray them after being arrested?"
Liu Feiyan: "No, there are funds for shorting in the U.S. stock market, and these fund operators are what we commonly call speculators. It is not illegal to short sell, it is illegal to short through inside information and fraud. In the case of Vain, it is almost impossible for the police to find a connection between Vane and Youzi. Even if a connection is found, the lawyer group of Youzi is not vegetarian. White-collar crime is more intractable and troublesome than violent crime. ”
Just like Benjamin, you know that Benjamin is only one, but the legal process can't prove this fact, so you can't arrest someone.
