Chapter 963 Tax Officer

Wang Zhidong and his entourage hurried to the United States.

Philip Katz's funeral was simple.

His parents died young, he lived alone, and of course, as a hacker, loneliness came with it.

Therefore, the funeral was still donated by some hackers to a local priest to help preside over it.

As for attendance, that's okay.

The reason why a hacker is a hacker is that his identity cannot be exposed.

Nowadays, many hackers have various legitimate professions, and many of them still work in some large companies.

After all, hacking itself is more of a thrill, an identity that wanders outside the law, and no one is making money with it now. For many hackers, if they don't want to be poor, they have to have a proper job.

Therefore, although they paid for it, they would not attend such a funeral to avoid their identities being exposed.

But fortunately, in order to remember the great hacker, although the funeral was simple, it was not simple, and even luxurious.

Many hackers raised money to buy a cemetery and a coffin made of fine sandalwood, and published the location of his funeral on the Internet.

However, there are still very few people who really resist.

Even if they do, most of them are unrelated people.

When Wang Zhidong and his entourage arrived, they found that Qin Feng and Jiang Yong had arrived early.

"Qin Feng!" Wang Zhidong gritted his teeth.

This guy actually arrived earlier than him. Damn, did he want to blackmail himself after he took it for himself?

But now that I'm here, I won't allow you to mess around.

"Wang Zhidong has arrived!" Jiang Yong whispered.

"Leave him alone, wait until the funeral is over!" Qin Feng said lightly.

This is at the funeral, in China, there is an old saying that people die greatly. Whatever the interests, the funeral must not be ruined. At the very least, Philippe Katz has to be put to rest.

Under the auspices of the priest, the funeral was quickly completed.

The staff buried the coffin in the tomb. The earth was filled, the lawn was covered, and the last prayers were prayed, and the funeral was over.

At this moment, a man with blond hair and blue eyes and a somewhat hooked nose stepped forward.

"You are all the ones who attended Philip Katz's funeral, so I will read your rights. The blonde man said.

"Who are you?" Qin Feng asked in surprise.

"I'm Henry, the tax collector. Philip Katz has no relatives, and he once made a will that all those who attended his funeral would have the opportunity to receive his inheritance!" said Henry.

"Wait, shouldn't the lawyer announce it?" Qin Feng said suspiciously.

This kind of thing should be announced by a lawyer, not a tax officer.

"I don't care how to get the inheritance, but I want to tell you that he received a $70,000 income during his lifetime and did not pay taxes. Under U.S. law, if someone inherits his estate, they need to help him pay this tax as well as a punitive fine. Also, after his death, all the estate will be subject to taxes. Henry said, "All right, I'm done." ”

Everyone was black.

Sure enough, in the United States, from life to death, the only thing that this person cannot do without is two words: tax.

For Americans, this is the whole life of struggling with taxes. No matter who you are, no matter what your status, the one you are most afraid of, and the one you are most reluctant to deal with, is the tax officer.

Because the police will still ask for evidence, the immigration bureau will still find it troublesome, but the tax officer will spare no effort to pay taxes.

Many gang bosses, black immigrants, are not afraid of the police and immigration officers, but they are only afraid of the tax officers.

"We're just here and don't want to get their legacy!" several people who attended the funeral left.

After all, that's a lot of taxes. $70,000, this income, according to U.S. law, is almost one-third of the tax, plus punitive fines. I am afraid that this money will not be obtained in the end, and it may even be poured back to the money.

This is not impossible.

So, they slipped away early.

Wang Zhidong's eyes rolled and he stayed firmly. No matter how much tax is paid, what he wants is authorization. Otherwise, it would be up to Qin Feng to open his mouth here.

This kind of lawsuit involving the United States, you don't have to fight it in the past few years, you will lose.

In particular, he was the first to infringe.

"It's just the four of you at the moment. As my client's lawyer, I would like to announce his will first!" said the lawyer.

Needless to say, this lawyer was also paid by hackers. There is no way, Philip Katz is too poor.

Although he had Jiang Yong's $70,000, he completely squandered it. Drinking, ordering takeout, buying prowess, etc., didn't take his turn to think about paying taxes, so they all squandered it.

"I, Philip Katz, as the founder of winzip, single-handedly beat ARC and brought free compression technology to everyone. But instead of getting any benefit, my life was full of tragedy. The spirit of the Internet is sharing, and I am willing to sacrifice everything for that spirit. But, for me, it's still unfair. I made so much, but in the most pitiful time, I couldn't even afford a piece of pizza. And as a hacker, this is not just for me. This has also happened to many hackers. So, I hope that the people who have my legacy will be able to create a Turing Award-like award to reward all hackers. The lawyer read out.

The crowd was amazed.

As we all know, the Turing Award is similar to the Nobel Prize.

It's just that the Nobel Prize is limited by the environment at the time, and there is no computer related.

Later, in 1966, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) created the Turing Award to encourage the development of computers.

As for the word Turing, it comes from Alan Matheson Turing.

British mathematician and logician, known as the father of computer science and the father of artificial intelligence. In 1931, Turing entered King's College, Cambridge University, and after graduation, he went to Princeton University in the United States to study for a doctorate.

It can be said that without Turing cracking the German army's Engoma encryption system, it would have been difficult for the Allies to achieve victory.

At that time, the German army's trust in the Engma encryption system led the German army to send information at will. Every day, the British were able to intercept thousands of various cipher intelligence from the German army.

However, due to the use of Engema encryption mechanism for transmission, there are a total of 1550 trillion encryption methods. At the time, it was impossible for humans to crack it.

Later, Turing designed the first rudimentary computer to hack. This led directly to the beginning of the middle of the war, and all the intelligence of the German army was cracked.

When the secrecy of one side is completely in the eyes of the other, the balance of war is completely tilted.
