Chapter 280: Risk Control
It's not that Mr. McCord says it's okay, it's really okay.
Judging from the attitude of Baker & McKenzie's lawyers, Ye Dongqing understands that most of the Tamsui Investment Group will get into some small trouble because of this business, and it depends on whether it can minimize the loss of money and reputation.
I don't know if my friend Calkawi knows that there is a problem with the money, so he doesn't know whether he should be angry with that guy or not, maybe he did something bad with good intentions.
Ye Dongqing thinks that Carkaveh has been in the United States for so many years, and he should understand what kind of big trouble it will cause if he has a relationship with Yiguo, and it seems that there is no reason to use this to pit himself, judging from his usual personality, Carkaveh belongs to a more bold kind of person, and he is quite likely to be deceived.
It's useless to speculate now, so I'll accompany the lawyer and Mr. McCord into the police station to take notes and find out what is going on.
An FBI agent received them, who seemed to have a relatively high status, a white man in his early thirties, wearing a black suit, and the other party personally poured a glass of water for Ye Dongqing, sat on the sofa and said: "We have been staring at this fund for a long time, and we have been staring since we found out that one of the accounts had paid for an arms order, and I thought that we could catch a big fish along this money, but I didn't expect it to end up in your company's account."
But I also know that most of you are unaware, the details are very clean, you have made so much money, and there is no reason to work for the organization, but your friend, Ben Abdullah Karkawi, we have reason to suspect that he is handling funds for Iraq and getting huge returns from it, how much do you know about him? ”
The FBI was filming and recording, and Ye Dongqing's lawyer also turned on the recorder, and after blocking it at the moment, he attached a reminder in Ye Dongqing's ear.
Ye Dongqing replied: "I can tell you everything I know, and all the information about that transaction can be provided at any time, but I must get your commitment, on behalf of the FBI, to completely block all news related to me and my company, to ensure that I will not be subjected to any criminal investigation and will not affect the normal operation of my company." ”
"This ...... I need to make a phone call and give me a few minutes to report back to my superiors, OK?"
"Yes. ”
In order to promote the progress of the investigation of the case, many things can be negotiated and negotiated, and Ye Dongqing is trying to use the information he knows to make a deal with the FBI, which is a lawyer's proposal, ready to minimize the risk and harm.
After the Hamilton police inspector went out, Ye Dongqing looked at himself in the mirror, his face was very ugly, and he had reason to suspect that there might be other people standing behind the mirror, such as people from the CIA and NSA.
Not going to pin all his hopes on others, he also took his mobile phone and made a phone call, an NSA senior executive who worked in Washington, D.C., who had personally contacted him in Hawaii, and belonged to the kind of big people who could report to the Oval Office.
Without the intention of concealment, he directly told the other party the cause and effect, and said that if it threatened his business, then the previously negotiated cooperation would be null and void.
The so-called cooperation refers to the cooperation between the NSA and Facebook, Skype, and Whatsapp, which is one of the secret plans exposed by Snowden, giving the NSA the right to obtain all the user data designated by it from these companies without any explanation.
It is true that it is no longer a small role that can be manipulated by others, and through a mirror, the expressions of several people are quite unsightly, but tonight's target is not Ye Dongqing, so it is actually not a big deal.
Hamilton was authorised, and soon returned, telling him that the release agreement would be drawn up later, asking him to cooperate in handing over all the documents relating to the business, explaining the matter, and intentionally or unintentionally bringing the subject to Calkawi.
The lawyer answered on behalf of Ye Dongqing, and before the agreement was signed, no news and information would be given, unless authorized by the court.
In this way, after more than twenty minutes, after making sure that they would help block the relevant news, he said: "As far as I know, Carkawi does not have any hostility towards the United States, on the contrary, he also likes it very much, such as whiskey, cigars, white girls, etc., purely an American with a Middle Eastern appearance."
This business was introduced to me by Carlkaveh at a party a few days ago, and I only know that the investors are official Sharjah, with a total amount of two billion US dollars, and my Freshwater Investment Group gives them an annualized interest rate return of 9 percent, and Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Merrill Lynch and other institutions are also my customers, because the funds are in Citibank, and it is impossible for us to check the source of funds when someone comes to invest, and that is your business. ”
The answer did not satisfy the Hamilton police commissioner, and he asked, "Two billion dollars, don't you have any doubts?"
"Why should I be suspicious? It's just a small amount of money, and Carlkaveh has introduced investors to me before, and I only know that he will take a portion of the commission from it, and that's none of my business. Ye Dongqing changed the topic and said: "And you said before that you have been staring at this fund for a long time, so why don't you stop it before the transfer is transferred to my company, isn't this fishing law enforcement?
The lawyer sitting next to him said: "This is fishing law enforcement, my client pays a lot of taxes in New York, and provides financial and material support to poor areas, has always been a representative of young businessmen, because of your negligence to get into the current situation, Leo, you have every reason to get compensation." ”
Hamilton Police Superintendent has a headache, people like them are most afraid of dealing with the super-rich, connections, financial resources, influence, none of which can be underestimated, if you can not provoke, no one is willing to take the initiative to provoke trouble, it is afraid that his subordinates will mess up this questioning, so he will show up in person to interrogate.
Tell Ye Dongqing and say: "We just want to find the whereabouts of this fund, and we don't have any intention of targeting you, right? Tonight I just want to learn about the situation from you, the situation related to Carkawi, I believe you can also understand us, after all, it involves Iraq, we have reason to suspect that this fund will be used against the United States, and we want to find the behind-the-scenes forces that are hostile to us through it, and we didn't expect it to enter your company and be used for investment and financial management ......."
