Chapter 486 News that shocked the whole United States
Two days later, as if they had made an appointment, the US media released one after another exciting news one after another, which shocked the people of the United States for a while.
JPMorgan Bank merged with Chase Bank, and at the same time acquired First Bank of Chicago and Washington Mutual, which remained as JPMorgan Bank after the merger. —The New York Times.
Mobil merged with Exxon to become ExxonMobil and acquired Continental Oil, making it the world's largest oil company, USA Today.
Miramax Films became the second film and television company of Star-Lord Film Investments, the Los Angeles Times.
These three news, especially the first two, touched the nerves of many people, some were worried, and some regretted it.
Those who are worried are nothing more than afraid of the emergence of banks and oil trust companies to manipulate the financial and oil markets.
Those who regret it regret that they did not anticipate the bulk merger between Morgan Bank and American Capture Oil earlier, otherwise they would have hoarded the shares of these two companies earlier, and now the limit has been limited.
But whether worried or regretful, the American people were drawn to another event the next day.
The day after the merger, the US media unanimously issued even more vigorous news.
Michael Ovitz was taken away by the FBI at the company on suspicion of rape and sexual crimes against four women – Los Angeles Times.
Harvey Weinstein was taken away from his home by the FBI on suspicion of rape and sexual offences against seven women – The New York Times.
As soon as this news came out, the whole United States was in an uproar and shocked countless people's eyes.
Countless people who eat melons took out small benches one after another, sat in rows, and waited to see the follow-up development of the incident.
And the Morgan and Rockefeller families are also happy to see such an outcome, and the reason why they let the FBI arrest Michael Ovitz and Harvey Weinstein after the merger news was released was to divert everyone's attention and downplay the takeover.
And the performance of the public has also developed in the direction that the Morgan and Rockefeller families expected, and the general public is more interested in entertainment gossip than in the economic aspect.
With the effect, the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family naturally let the media spare no effort to promote the Michael Ovitz and Harvey Weinstein incident.
Since the people like it, it is necessary to meet the needs of the people.
After receiving the instructions of the boss, the media company naturally stepped up its reporting efforts and drove the OB truck directly to the gate of the FBI's Los Angeles branch in order to release the latest news at any time.
According to the latest news, Harvey Weinstein and Michael Ovitz were arraigned by the court today, in which both claimed that they were not guilty and wanted to pay $1 million bail, but the judge rejected their bail requests. ”
The latest General Law stipulates that no person involved in a criminal case shall be released on bail before or after trial.
In the United States, as long as you have money, you can pay bail if you are caught breaking the law, and you can also pay bail if you are sentenced.
Therefore, in the United States, the law is only for the poor, and the rich have no fear of the law, and they can come out and do evil after being sentenced to prison and paying some money.
Therefore, when the "General Law" was built, John strongly recommended that bail be abolished, and that the law should treat everyone fairly and justly, so that the rich can not go to jail if they have money, and the poor should sit through prison if they have no money.
Is it possible that if you have money, you will not be punished by the law?
Then what else do you want to do with the Fa?
So John suggested that bail be lifted, and that once a person breaks the law, whether poor or rich, honestly go to prison to meet his sentence, and want to get out early unless he behaves well, gets a reduced sentence or a presidential pardon.
"Prosecutors claim they have enough evidence to send Harvey Weinstein and Michael Ovitz to prison, where they face at least 40 to 45 years in prison. ”
NBC News reporters waited in front of the courthouse early in the morning, and as soon as the news of the arraignment came out, it was broadcast live.
John has kept the Hollywood Eye on Harvey Weinstein and Michael Ovitz for so many years, and he has long had evidence of every crime committed by the two. Combined with John's instructions to the Department of Justice, Harvey Weinstein and Michael Ovitz will definitely go to jail this time.
However, Harvey Weinstein and Michael Ovitz still have the illusion that they have the money to hire a large team of lawyers to win the lawsuit, and even if they can't win, they will have to drag it out slowly, or find some connections to bail out of prison when the time comes.
It can only be said that they are too naïve to figure out the situation.
Half a month later, the court officially opened the trial, Harvey Weinstein and Michael Ovitz hired a large team of lawyers for themselves, but they forgot that the case is not won by a large number of people, under the ironclad evidence, the court quickly made a verdict, Harvey Weinstein sentenced to 45 years in prison and paid a total of $3.5 million to the seven victims, and Michael Owitz was sentenced to 40 years in prison and paid $2.1 million to the four victims. Judging from the age of the two, they will not be able to get out of prison until they are at least eighty or ninety years old.
At the end of the trial, Harvey Weinstein and Michael Ovitz both expressed dissatisfaction with the court's verdict and submitted an appeal to the city court, which accepted their appeals and decided to formally hear the case 15 days later.
After 15 days, the city court held a trial, and after three days of hearing, the verdict of the first court was finally upheld, Harvey Weinstein and Michael Ovitz were still dissatisfied with the verdict, and submitted an appeal to the state court, and the state court also accepted the appeal request of the two, but the final trial result was still upheld.
The United States now implements a three-instance final adjudication system, and the judgment of the state court means that it is the final result, but Harvey Weinstein and Michael Ovitz can still file a complaint with the federal superior court.
But the federal superior court rejected the two men's appeals, ending the case that shocked the nation.
Harvey Weinstein and Michael Ovitz will also be taken to Vasila, a small town in southern Alaska.
Vasila is rich in mineral resources, but the population is very small, only about 6,000 people, so John asked the prison company to build three new prisons of 10,000 people here to exploit the mineral resources here.
But most of the three 10,000-strong prisoners were blacks, with Harvey Weinstein and Michael Ovitz being the first two white people to be incarcerated here. Of course, this was instructed by John, since these two of them like to do some things about overlords being forced to bow hard, John is going to let these two people taste the feeling of being forced by other people's overlords.
The black people in these three prisons are all felons transferred from other prisons, a group of people who have been locked up for more than ten or twenty years, not to mention seeing a woman, even seeing a sow and thinking it is beautiful, not to mention that Harvey Weinstein and Michael Ovitz are both fair-skinned and plump, such physical conditions will definitely become sought-after, maybe when they are old, everyone may lose their sexual interest in them.
However, it is still a question whether these two people can live to the day when they are old and yellow.
…………
On the other hand, John, who was filming in the UK, knew that Harvey Weinstein and Michael Ovitz had been escorted to Alaska, so he called his assistant Eve Hugo to his side and asked Eve Hugo to help him buy two boxes of soap and send them to Harvey Enstein and Michael Owitz.
