In New York, a big cloud drifted in the early morning, the humidity in the air was thick, and the rain fell in a thousand waves.

As soon as the weather is warm, there is a faint smell of NIAO in the subway station. Even so, there are still people eating breakfast here. At the exit of the subway station, everyone huddled under the shelter, side by side, looking at the water converging between the sky and the earth. There are many noisy people, whispering to each other in different languages, mixed with laughter, and with the sound of rain, it is also full of rhythm in the chaos.

A pair of speeding black convoys didn't care whether they would throw the water on the road on passers-by, and rushed towards Midtown Manhattan.

885 Third Avenue is a 34-story red oval granite building that New Yorkers call the "Lipstick Building" because of its resemblance to lipstick. An office building named after cosmetics may be the perfect place to take center stage in the biggest financial scam in history, with a glamorous whitewash that hides a reality that may be far from glamorous.

On the 19th floor of the building, employees of Madoff Investment & Securities are busy trading the company's "main business" stocks, and the 18th floor is dedicated to the company's computer and administrative work.

There are also 17 floors called the "hedge fund layer" within the company, and it is from here that for 20 years, the accounts under the name of Madoff have been able to generate nearly 1% of the income on time every month like a clock, whether the stock market rises or falls...

In fact, what Madoff did on the 17th floor of the mysterious Lipstick Mansion was to weave and maintain his scam for decades, including forging all sorts of documents such as tax returns, transaction confirmations, bank transfer certificates, etc., for non-existent investments and transactions.

In the square of the Lipstick Building, there was a sharp sound of brakes and the sound of car doors slamming one after another, and dozens of people in FBI and OCC blue dark blue uniforms rushed into the Lipstick Building in the pouring rain.

The stunned and panicked building staff didn't know what was going on, but they just turned sideways to make way for the group of indifferent agents.

Both elevators were all occupied by them, and there was even a group of people who handled the stairwell, and even a fool knew that something big was happening.

The front desk lady on the 19th floor saw a group of menacing people walking towards their company gate, and was a little flustered and just wanted to pick up the phone to notify someone, but was indifferently pressed down by an agent who stepped forward quickly.

"We are FBI, please cooperate with our work and leave the position thank you. ”

Whoop -

A group of people directly pushed open the glass door of the office and quickly distributed the audience under the stunned eyes of the staff.

"We are the FBI, please raise your hands, slowly stand up, get out of your position, and don't make any extra moves... ”

At the same time, this scene was also playing out on the 18th floor, but the 17th floor was in trouble, looking at the closed iron door of the combination lock, one of the agents who was blocked at the door pressed the headset in his ear, stepped forward, and began to enter the password according to the prompts in the headset.

"Click!"

"Hula-"

The agents who were blocking the door rushed through the gate, each running to the target, controlling everyone, and then a group of agents with suitcases began to sit in front of the computer under the gaze of the frightened employees, and began to collect and preserve all the evidence.

Madoff, who was in an office full of folders like a warehouse of miscellaneous items, watched the agents rushing in and before he could react, he took him under control and took his laptop.

"Mr. Madoff, there is evidence that you are suspected of securities fraud, investment advisory fraud, mail fraud, remittance fraud, three counts of money laundering, providing false credentials, giving false testimony, giving false reports to the SEC, and misappropriation of funds from an employee benefits plan。。。。。。。 ”

Madoff, who was still stunned, but still calm, listened to the accusations reported by the other party, his face was completely gloomy, his eyes flickered, listening to the other party explain his power to him, the whole person seemed to be occupied by decadence all of a sudden, and finally his expression became calm, and he exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, and the tight string in his heart broke suddenly, as if he was relieved.

The shocking scam that lasted for 20 years finally came to an end at this moment.

Of course, this is only for Madoff, an old liar, but for Wall Street, New York, the United States, and the world, May 23 is just the beginning of a big show.

When the four FBI guards Madoff and walks out of the red building, reporters and cameramen who have been waiting at the door for a long time immediately surround them, and the live broadcast car on the side of the road has the logo of AMC cable news station...

On this morning accompanied by heavy rain, the whole New York, the whole American people were stunned as if they had pressed the pause button, watching the AMC cable news station live broadcast the picture of Madoff being taken away by the FBI, the host in the studio hall was full of excitement, and wanted to start introducing this shocking scam that had lasted for 20 years to everyone.

At this moment, no one thought about where the news and materials of the AMC cable news station came from, because everyone was stunned by the news, some of the rich people who put their money in Madoff's place were even more mournful, some of the older rich people fainted directly to the ground, and more people were panicked and picked up the phone to call Madoff...

The collapse of the Wall Street statue caused a huge earthquake on Wall Street, which also shocked the whole United States and caused an uproar around the world.

The ace host of AMC Cable News raised the document in his hand and began a hysterical speech。。。。。。

Perhaps God thought that Wall Street was not causing enough trouble, and sent the "Madoff scam" as if adding fuel to the fire.

Funnily enough, Madoff's English is exactly "Mad" plus "off."

Now the whole Wall Street is in a mess, the investors are almost crazy, the Madoff is finished...

But the tide of questions has just begun, why could Madoff single-handedly create such a shocking case?

Why can't investment institutions with top financial experts see through such an ancient scam?

What are U.S. regulators doing to keep him from cheating for 20 years undetected?

What is the impact of the Madoff case on the economic crisis? Will it cause the economic and financial markets in the United States to collapse...

Let's take a look at more than 40 institutions around the world... HSBC became the largest affected household... Europe's top banks are on the ship of thieves... Four French banks victimized... Sovereign wealth funds may also be subscribed to... Footbasin, stick financial giant dragged into the water... The victims could be as many as three million... ”

"Bang!"

"FXXK! Bastard!" Paulson slammed the table with gritted teeth and rage, and he was a little maddened as he watched the TV host impassionedly clicking on the list of banks and businesses that had been victimized.

Hamilton on the side could only show an extremely bitter smile, he naturally knew who the bastard in the treasurer's mouth was, who else could there be besides Andy Smith!

"The Dow Jones fell 4.60% and could be the biggest drop in U.S. stock history today... As a result, the stock prices of the banks and companies that were named by name will plummet, and he will hand us the gun and kill us one by one, and we will have to do it, and there is nothing to say... ”
