There are scams everywhere, Wall Street, there are people who make their fortunes because of scams, and there are people who go bankrupt because of scams. The debt crisis is not over, but the fools are predicting that the worst is over. From Charles Ponzi to Robert Wesco to Madoff, investment scams have been repeated, and some of the old scams have taken on many variations in modern times, but people are doomed to repeat them.

A shallow smile emerged with the calm tone of the young man, the largest fraud in the world's financial history, the Ponzi scheme, was outdated, Wall Street began to change its strategy, and more and more investment advisers began to shift their positions to become registered investment advisers, recommending a low-fee fund to investors.

He is always in a plain narrative, without the slightest emotional element. A year ago, he and his alumnus Jeffer set up a fund to raise funds from the community, and after October, Jeffer said goodbye and creditors came to the door. Nowadays on Wall Street, Ponzi schemes are nothing, and the latest dirty trick is "passive index investment", the so-called low-fee passive index investment, in fact, will eventually trick investors into the trap step by step.

Wall Street's dirtiest investment trap right now is investing in "passive" products with an "active" fee structure, which does not mean greater returns, but shows that investors have fallen into Wall Street's latest beauty trap.

He slowly closed his eyes, hiding from the open gun and not guarding against the hidden arrow; the company's operation, he is the most informed and trusted person, and often hurts you the most at a certain moment; Levi knew that he was likely to be prosecuted and arrested on suspicion of fraud, so he changed his identity and fled to Russia. In the end, he was accompanied by the innocent girl Aurora.

"What will Aurora do if you go to jail?" she asked, "are you going to give up?"

He lowered his head slightly, and his jet-black hair slid down his slender eyebrows. "Give up?...... What can I do. ”

His hands clenched into fists, trembling slightly.

"As long as you don't give up, do you believe it?" Su Xiaoqi said to him, "Don't let me down, Levi, since I've already helped Aurora, I don't want to give up halfway." ”

He raised his eyes, looked at the young woman's face, looked at her dark eyes, and eyebrows painted in light ink, at this moment, it was Xiaoqi who reached out to him, stretched out the weak and slender hand that originally belonged to the woman, and gave him courage and support.

Trust is a bloody scar in my heart. Although trust has taken a heavy toll on one's life, reason tells him that when the time is right, one should choose to trust someone.

Levi lowered his eyes and said, "What do you want me to do?"

She said, "How do you know if you don't try?"

After speaking, Su Xiaoqi walked to the side of the room and pulled out a phone.

She put away her phone and turned to look at the young man, "You will go out with me with your head held high later, and tell the creditors outside that you will pay back the money, you are not absconding with the money, you are planning a project, and you will pay off all the debts in a year and six months!"

"In that case, what will I use to pay back?" asked Levi, looking up.

"There will always be a way. ”

After coming out of the detention cell, she told the police: "I have to go through the formalities of release on bail pending trial." ”

"Miss, what is your relationship with this suspect?"

"This is a misunderstanding, my friend, came to Russia to find me, to prepare a project, not to run away with money, he will return a batch of debts within a month, and within a year and a half, he will return all the money, I will explain this to those creditors later. ”

Su Xiaoqi is signing the formalities. After finishing it, she looked into Levi's eyes: "Sue me, you are not a coward." ”

His eyes moved slightly, and there was a fine light in his inky black eyes, "I'm not!"

She nodded, smiled, and said, "Trust me not to be wrong." ”

"Since it is a debt, you carry it until it is paid off, from now on, I am your partner, the new company is called Dugardfeld, and you, as a partner, announce the claim of your previous debt. She said to him.

They walked out and confronted several creditors outside, announcing that Dugardfield would soon repay the money, but the other party still didn't believe it.

Su Xiaoqi walked over and asked, "Sir, how much money did you invest?"

"$1.8 million. ”

"What about you?"

"$1,000,000. ”

"Okay, please go to the hotel opposite the consulate to find a Mr. You, don't be anxious, after registration, pay you 40% today, and then come back to get the rest in a month, Dugar Fairfield will definitely settle it." ”

Su Xiaoqi asked the last creditor, and the other party replied that it was $5 million.

She said, "Sir, I will pay you $1 million today, and after a month, I will get the rest." Don't worry, you'll be sent a cheque. ”

He shook his head, "No, I have to get the money today." ”

Su Xiaoqi stopped and said, "Sir, if you look at the problem this way, after a period of time, you will get the money with interest, which is not a loss for you." ”

She brought a bit of gentleness and momentum that belonged to the upper social circle, "If you don't agree, find the prosecutor to arrest him, you can get the money quickly, so you may have to wait until ten years later." It is not easy for everyone to go out, please come to the hotel today to be treated, and all the expenses of the round trip will be borne by us. ”

Levi watched her silently, and shifted his gaze to the other side, looking at the creditors—a simple prisoner's dilemma, and he understood that the few creditors present were only willing to choose to stop their losses.

After Su Xiaoqi's patient explanation, the creditors finally relented, and they set a deadline with Dugard Fell in the hotel and left.

Despite promising to repay the loan, Levi's suspicion of financial fraud was not so easy to clear and get rid of, and with the help of lawyers, they found out that Manhattan prosecutors had investigated Levi's colleagues and investors, including a philanthropist, Jeffrey.

Prosecutors have access to the man's account records for several years and have been making staggering earnings at the beginning of each quarter, after he said he and his foundation were the biggest victims of the scam. Evidence shows that this person has achieved higher returns than thousands of other investors, with annual returns of more than 100 per cent, sometimes as high as 300 or 950 per cent.

But prosecutors still don't know what role Jeffrey's charities played in the scam or where the money he got from it went. However, a recent investigation has uncovered a number of correspondence between customers and their companies, which has provided new clues for the investigation of this case.

The prosecution found the latest evidence and handed it over to the Chinese side, who found that there was insufficient evidence of Li Wei's suspected fraud, and finally released him after three months to dismiss the case. When the group returned to the apartment, Li Wei looked at Su Xiaoqi and You Shi'an, lowered his head, and asked, "Xiaoqi, how much money have you spent now?"

She did the math and said: "2.12 million has been repaid, and 500,000 yuan has been spent on hosting a banquet to hire a lawyer, and the lawyer was found with the help of Mr. Yu." ”

Mr. You hesitated and said, "I'm sorry! I can't help you much." What do you do with the rest of the money?"

Su Xiaoqi said to him: "The arrears can be divided into batches, and it is not so much at one time. ”

Mr. You has always been very puzzled by Katerina, the tranquility and calmness in her body should not be something that few people who have experienced it can have, however, he has never heard her talk about it, so naturally he has no way of knowing, and he speculates in his heart.

Li Wei said: "I have 120,000. ”

Su Xiaoqi nodded, "Let's take a long-term view." ”

They calculated the debts that had been repaid, and the money on her plus Levi's, and Mr. You also made some, and the piecing together was only 1 million.

The two began to study what should be done in the Russian market, where many transactions are easy to make money, but due to the environment here, they can't intervene at all, and there are also some projects that are highly profitable, have too long investment cycles, or require too much capital investment, and are not projects that they can start now.

Su Xiaoqi got up from the chair and said: "There is always a way, 1 million gambling is not a small amount, if you admit defeat now, it will be too early." ”

They set their sights on the art of the Russian diaspora, as well as the Russian boxing industry. Su Xiaoqi was not interested in boxing, which is an important event in Russia, and after watching the Russian boxing industry, she and Levi set up interesting bets to attract them.

Before the start of the race, the scene was hot, the lights were dazzling, and the tycoons in designer suits got out of their Bentleys, BMWs or Mercedes Benzes, and entered the stadium with bejeweled women, and those small businessmen and white-collar workers, got out of Honda or Toyota.

In a mixed coat and a mist of perfume and cologne, she made her way through the crowd to the audience and said to them with a smile, "Gentlemen, why don't you come and play a fun game with a bet of 50 roubles each." ”

"If you lose, it's only 50 rubles, and if you win, maybe you get a big surprise?"

A man watching the match said, "I'll buy a bet." He took out the money and bought a bet.

Paying millions in arrears a month forced them to take some kind of action to set up a gambling game based on a mathematical model of Wall Street's money game, with a stake of £5 per game, and the snowball effect can last for more than 20 rounds, but for bettors, the game is exciting. Especially for people with status, whether it is the sobo under the boxing ring or the excitement of gambling, it attracts them to bet.

She folded her arms and said, "It seems, sir, that you have a lot of confidence in that contestant?"

"Very talented. He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes, "An old friend of mine said to me, 'How do you think about investing in a boxer?' I was always thinking about investing in horse racing. But he said boxers are more interesting than horses. ”

"Who is that person?" Su Xiaoqi saw a fat Russian man on the opposite side of the audience.

The man said: "Jiman, he is a powerful figure, not a figure who will appear casually, and he also has a Siberian boxing champion by his side. ”

The man lit a cigarette and said, "Ji Man has a wide range of paths, and if necessary, they can even apply for asylum for someone." ”

"Sir, do you still need to order art here with me?" asked Su Xiaoqi. Her current identity is Katerina, her father is a professor, her mother is a housewife, Russian, and her family has a building on Lazovsky Street, which was built after the revolution and sold to the All-Russian Anti-Terrorism Committee at a reasonable price, and the family moved to Malakhovka Street.

Katerina, who is of East Asian descent and went to the United States at the age of five, has returned from overseas, and her detailed experience and knowledge of local Russian culture have told people that she is the daughter of a Russian expatriate, that she has a hot fight with the locals, and that she sells art to them, and that it is only natural that she can watch boxing matches and buy art here.

The man who had bought her asked, "Oh, you mean those paintings of Chaucin?"

"Yes, gambling, and winning. "That's exciting enough." ”

He smoked a cigarette and said, "Just the Russian ones! I don't want the works of second- or third-rate painters in Paris or the Netherlands." ”

Su Xiaoqi looked up at the audience opposite, Levi walked through the flow of people, he had worked in Las Vegas casino, and it was not a problem to deal with all kinds of people. She looked at a beautiful blond Russian woman in the audience, who was accompanied by Mr. Jiman.

"Do you know who she is?" said the man's voice, "Marina, who speaks fluent English and French, specializes in costume design, and there is no doubt that she has the full support of her powerful father and will definitely do well in this industry." ”

The man's voice rang out, "No one here doesn't know about her, and it is said that the gentleman loves his daughter so much that he built her an indoor ski slope." ”

She immediately understood that it turned out to be the daughter of an oligarch.

The Russian oligarchs are already a bunch of powerful guys, and their daughters have taken this innate advantage to the extreme.

They are young and energetic, they have carved out their own world in all walks of life, they have full charm and god-like confidence, and it can be said that none of them are fuel-efficient lamps. Unlike their fathers, these rich daughters don't have to stage dirty deals in order to climb up, and they already have incredible wealth of their own.

When I saw her, I remembered a person - Catherine. They are the same kind of people, with rich and noble backgrounds, and their lives are destined to be left and right, and they are proud.

Three months ago.

Los Angeles, Southern California.

Under the crystal chandelier, five or six people from the Rose Hill family came, as well as celebrities from New York City. The banquet hall is designed in an antique style to accommodate all the guests.

Many people have heard that Egbert once photographed a famous diamond ring for a woman, and they also know the origin of the jewelry, the ring that the Emperor Napoleon created to crown Madame Jochenphine and crown her as empress. People like them just laughed. In particular, the children of certain high-class elites received a special education when they were young, and were taught to understand the pleasures of women's beds, so as to ensure that they would not be taken advantage of in the future by women who wanted to fish for golden turtles, and by beautiful women of the lower classes.

A silver-haired man in his fifties walked out of the crowd, came to Egbert's side, and said, "Sir, you have a missing female companion by your side?"

The blonde young man understood, smiled and said, "She didn't come tonight." ”

The silver-haired man said, "Come to me, Catherine." ”

Catherine in a white gown walked over, she was graceful and beautiful, her long golden eyelashes drooped slightly, and a shallow smile overflowed from her mouth, "Mr. Rosehill, how are you doing?"
