Chapter 1072: The Penguin Who Fell in Love with LOL

The "Ponzi scheme" takes its name from Charles Pontz, who began to engage in investment fraud in 1920, and about 40,000 people were involved in the scam for up to $15 million.

"Ponzi scheme" is one of the oldest and most common investment frauds, and in the Celestial Empire, this kind of scam is nothing more than a combination of "empty gloves white wolf" and "tearing down the east wall to make up the west wall".

Wall Street myth busted!

Looking at Madoff who was taken away by the FBI, with a calm face, Andy can understand Madoff's mood now, after all, he is also a person who can't tell secrets to the second person.

Andy doesn't know how much of a psychological burden Madoff has spent 20 years concocting and maintaining a hoax. Maybe the moment he was taken away by the FBI, he was freed.

Truth be told, if it weren't for the financial crisis, the truth might never have come out in the dark, even if Andy had given it to Paulson.

You must know that there are a lot of people who found out about the Madoff scam, and they have been reporting and exposing it, but they have all fallen into the sea and been scoffed by the regulators, and this time, Andy was able to lift the lid in advance, in addition to his personal influence and credit played a big role, the most important thing is that he hopes to let this scammer fall early, so that some victims can recover some of their losses.

Because if memory serves, many people who have lost their money have chosen to commit suicide for a period of time after the outbreak of the case, and this old liar is living a good life without repentance in prison, which is undoubtedly unfair.

Of course, being able to take advantage of this God-given opportunity to make a fortune from it is also a very convenient and happy thing。。。。。。

He is happy, and naturally some people are not happy, not only unhappy, but almost angry.

"If you fall into the greed for wealth, you will not be able to extricate yourself ... Kid, can you stop a bit?"

Thinking of his grandfather's somewhat helpless phone call, Andy lay on the recliner by the pool in the courtyard of the small Versailles, and pursed the corners of his mouth unhappily, he was just making a little money of more than a billion dollars to spend, which caused the dissatisfaction of a group of guys, and it was really his meow.

If Andy's slander was known to Paulson, he would definitely jump to the street and scold the street, and no one cares about making money, but creating panic and malicious hype is a bit too much for Nima.

To be honest, if he really wants to find trouble, Andy will really be retained, indulge public opinion, maliciously control the market, and impose fines to restrict him from entering the market, which may not make Andy suffer.

After all, the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States is one of the few institutions that needs to find evidence to prove its innocence.

Although Andy's lawyer team is not vegetarian, if the U.S. government really wants to be unreasonable, Andy really can't bear it, and he needs to pay the fine obediently.

Don't say that the United States has a perfect legal system, and there will be no unreasonable things, it's all nonsense, and there are more unreasonable things.

You must know that several fund managers who made a lot of money in the subprime mortgage crisis in the previous life were targeted by the FBI, and they were investigated and questioned twice in three days, and they were very annoyed.

I'm not afraid, but it's not worth being tough with those guys in Washington, even if they have a deep background in the Smith family, they have to follow the crowd and not be too unscrupulous, so Andy asked the media who fanned the Madoff Madoff scam to keep the tone to the minimum, and the focus of shorting shifted to Britain and France, as well as the footbasin.

Anyway, the harvest on the side of the United States is already very good, to be honest, all countries in the world do not have a good impression of big shorts, for this group of investors who are used to doing things and shorting, people prefer to call them speculators, predators, you can refer to the notorious Soros.

Andy doesn't want to really get to that point, everyone shouts and beats, and everyone doesn't want to see him, if he is really labeled as Andy Smith equal to trouble, it will really make him depressed to death.

It's important to do it in moderation.

He has really made a lot of money during this time, and moderate greed is good.

The only pleasure of stealing money all over the world is for Andy, the hand-off shopkeeper, to see some increased numbers in his daily work briefing, which, of course, makes him happy.

Andy, who wears sunglasses and only swim trunks to bask in the sun, is rarely struggling with one thing.

Riot, which is making its presence felt at the E3 Game Show, the annual Olympic event in the electronic entertainment industry, brought League of Legends, which has not yet opened and perfected, to the game show.

Although Andy's attention to Riot is not very high, it is mainly because the game is in the development period, and it is mainly money-burning, and Andy must have attention even if he wants to pay attention.

However, the current Riot Company is not the period when he spent millions to acquire two or three small meows, and you must know what kind of boss will bring out what kind of team.

Andy Smith, who is not short of money and likes to poach talents from rival companies with two birds with one stone, will naturally not expand the team lineup of Riot Company, after all, this is not only as simple as expanding the scale of the company and increasing development talents, but also plays a role in mixing sand into the company.

After all, when Andy acquired Riot, the entire founding team did not change in the slightest, except for the financial and legal departments, no one else changed, and the founding team that was too united was not a good thing for Andy, the hand-off shopkeeper.

Therefore, because of so many of the above considerations, Blizzard and Villefort Software have become the targets of Andy's headhunting, as long as the hoe is well wielded, there is no corner that cannot be dug up, not only some planners, data balancers, and code engineers of Blizzard World of Warcraft games have dug up a lot, but even the Dota god in Villefort Software's pseudonym Ice Frog Shaalshan Ismail has been dug up.

This made Riot, which had not yet released a full game, completely famous, and was also blacklisted by Blizzard and Villefort Software.

Whether it's black or not, Andy doesn't care at all, as long as he can poach talents.

Speaking of ice frogs, Andy has to say that it's really difficult to dig him up, this product is simply low-key and numb, and his only hobby is to develop games quietly and happily, and he refused to jump ship or something.

Andy asked the headhunter to contact the headhunter many times, and finally called to communicate in person, promising that as long as the "League of Legends" structure is completed, Andy will invest in him to lead the team to develop Dota 2, which can be regarded as making Ice Frog moved.

The main reason for the development of Dota 2 is because of copyright issues, so in addition to the hero attributes, the characters' models, backgrounds, and world views also need to be reset.

The growing Riot company is not only not what it used to be, but also after running-in, a group of geniuses got together and burst out with unlimited momentum, and the development progress of "League of Legends" has also been greatly improved.

Andy no longer has to worry about the company's problems, at this time, from the E3 game show Riot CEO Brandon Baker got a news, also at the E3 show from the Celestial Empire Penguin Company, after learning the details of "League of Legends", has a strong interest, very interested in becoming the "League of Legends" Celestial Empire general agent, and hopes to invest in Riot company.
