"Brother, you can eat!" After returning to the hotel, Yang Meng was eating breakfast there, looking at the big stall in front of the table, Xiao Peng teased.

Yang Meng nodded: "No way, the amount of exercise in the morning is too much, and you need to eat more to make up." ”

Xiao Peng looked left and right: "What do you look like? Why don't you see anyone?"

"After you finish eating fast food, you still leave the delivery person at home to invite guests to dinner?" Yang Meng looked at Xiao Peng with a disgusted expression.

Xiao Peng stretched out his hand and gave him a middle finger: "In the words of Master Mo Yan, you are 'ruthless'! By the way, Will invited us to dinner, you know?"

"How do I know I'm in the room all the time. Why don't you try these breakfasts? Yang Meng's attention was clearly focused on food.

Xiao Peng was speechless: "Then you eat quickly, let's go out for a walk after eating, you can't go empty-handed when you go to other people's homes." ”

When Yang Meng heard this, he stretched out his thumb: "Okay, I like it." I heard that the Upper East Side is full of celebrities, so let's go and open our eyes. ”

Xiao Peng threw a big bag onto the sofa, and Yang Meng tilted his head and looked: "What's the matter?"

Xiao Peng said: "Clothes and shoes, etc., when I came up just now, I raised another 20,000 US dollars by the way." You can't go without clothes, can you?"

Yang Meng was stunned: "You don't wear your bag Hanfu anymore?"

Xiao Peng grinned: "I bought it for you." I'm sure I have clothes to wear!"

", you have no friends like this!" Yang Meng said angrily.

"Then do you want to wear it?" Xiao Peng asked rhetorically.

"Wear!It just so happened that I sprinkled a whole body of wine on my clothes last night!" Yang Meng said.

When the two were still arguing there, someone suddenly knocked on the door, the two were stunned, and Yang Meng asked, "Who?"

"Maybe Will. Xiao Peng got up to open the door, but after opening the door, there was a group of people standing outside the door, both men and women, all in suits and leather shoes: "Are you reporters?"

Xiao Peng was a little dumbfounded. As a result, the man who took the lead took out his ID and showed it in front of Xiao Peng's eyes: "We are FB, this is our investigation order, please come with us." ”

"Poof. Yang Meng was still eating, and when he heard this, he sprayed directly: "Is this a movie? The lines are so familiar!"

Xiao Peng coughed dryly: "Mengzi, be honest, go with them to see what's going on." The police here dare to shoot!"

He was also quite uneasy now, Made's morning was obviously blocked by the group of dead children, why did the police come after a while? or FB, that is, the famous FBI, is this so awesome? Is he in big trouble? Who are those boys so energetic?

When I arrived in the Stars and Stripes, I learned how many kinds of police there were. There are more than 100 kinds of police officers of all kinds! Because the Stars and Stripes have a loose federal state, it is administratively divided into four levels: federal, state, county, and city, and each level has its own law enforcement department, each performing its own duties. They are generally accountable only to the elected chief executive at their own level or directly to the electorate, and are not subordinate to each other.

Take New York as an example, if a case occurs here, it is very likely that there will be four types of police, the New York Police Officer, the New York County Police Officer, the New York State Police Officer, and the Federal Police to deal with the case.

However, ordinary cases don't come directly to FB, what is the situation?

Yang Meng also found that the problem was wrong at this time, although he said that he had a temper, he was not stupid: "I'll put on my clothes, ok?"

The FB policeman who took the lead looked at the bag of clothes on the sofa and nodded: "You guys bring all these clothes, as well as the purchase receipt and so on." ”

Xiao Peng frowned, what does this mean?" "Mengzi, do as they say!"

"Yes. Yang Meng got dressed, put the changed clothes into his bag, and left with them.

Will saw Xiao Peng and the others being taken away by the police, and looked surprised: "Mr. Xiao, Mr. Yang, is this。。。。。。 ”

Xiao Peng shrugged: "Don't worry, there must be a misunderstanding here!" said that, he didn't know the bottom of his heart. Made, isn't it just beating people? It's a big deal to pay for it! As for FB, it's even called?

But by the time Xiao Peng figured out the truth of the matter, he was completely speechless, this Nima 。。。。。。 What a thing!

He was called by FB, and he had nothing to do with the group of young people! What's the problem? Citibank!

Originally, according to the laws of the Stars and Stripes, if the deposit or withdrawal exceeds 10,000 US dollars, it must be submitted to the Treasury Department with a 'currency transaction report'! If the declaration is evaded, the maximum sentence is 10 years in prison!

Xiao Peng came to the Stars and Stripes country to compete this time, and in order to facilitate the collection of competition prizes, he deliberately went to Citibank to open a new account. These are all large-value transactions, and Xiao Peng's frequent large-amount deposit withdrawals have not been reported recently, and Citibank thinks he is suspected of money laundering!

In the Stars and Stripes, there's a lot of like that. Is it okay to follow the rules and pay attention to the upper limit? Not really! Withdrawals that seem reasonable are also sentenced!

There was a business owner in Missouri who made cash withdrawals in a five-month period, most of which were made for several days in a row, or only a few days apart, although each time it was less than $10,000, to avoid filling out a currency transaction report, but in the end he was arrested for deliberately circumventing this reporting requirement knowing the threshold for filling out a currency transaction report, and faced up to 10 years in prison! Because in the Stars and Stripes, you withdraw money more than three times a week, and each time the amount exceeds $1,000, so your account is easy to be targeted by the IRS.

But the Stars and Stripes is such a magical country: the owner of a Chinese-American massage parlor in Illinois splits large sums of cash into multiple small deposits in order to avoid federal filings, depositing thousands of dollars into his bank account every few days over the course of a year. There were a total of three times, almost every time it was $3,000, and the total amount was about $10,000.

It's perfectly legal to have less than $10,000 in deposits, but it's illegal to deliberately save a large amount of money in order to avoid IRS scrutiny. In the end, the Chinese shopkeeper was fined nearly $35,000 and sentenced to five years of probation!

Under Stars and Stripes, banks are required to file a suspicious activity report with the IRS if, within a 30-day period, they suspect that a depositor may be involved in money laundering, tax evasion and other criminal activities. Similarly, a suspicious activity report (SUSPICIOUS) would be filed with the IRS if he received large amounts of cash without filling out a Currency Transaction Report.

And once the IRS suspects it, they will take direct action, such as sealing accounts, confiscating property, etc., and if they do, the cost of recovery is extremely high! During the period of suspicion, if the government of the Stars and Stripes country cannot find more evidence, it will often take the initiative to settle, but it must be a conditional settlement, because the cost of suing the federal government is huge, many students have no choice but to accept the settlement conditions.

Many domestic students who go abroad, especially those at home who are not short of money and have nothing to do with their children's cards, often suffer losses in this matter! Because it is very common among Chinese to have 'huge amounts of money deposited' and those who do not fill in the 'currency transaction report' for their excess deposits, the confiscated assets of Chinese people in these two areas alone have exceeded hundreds of millions of dollars in recent years.

Xiao Peng now knew how nonsense the laws of this particular Stars and Stripes were. If you want to avoid trouble, you must make a deposit of less than 2,000 each time, and you can't make a small deposit more than four times a month.

Why is the business of the Stars and Stripes National Post Office so hot? Because the post office there sells cash checks! There are two kinds of cash checks: domestic cash checks and international cash checks, which have no expiration date, and can be reissued if they are lost. Stars and Stripes domestic cash checks have a maximum denomination of $1,000 and charge about $2 per check, which is taxable. The maximum denomination of international checks is $700, and a fee of US dollars is charged for each check. There is no problem with this cash check.

Walking out of the FB office building, Xiao Peng felt very unhappy.

It's not that FB's attitude is bad, it's a very good attitude, and the uncles of the Stars and Stripes National Taxation Bureau were aggressive when they came, and in the end, they only nodded their heads.

This change in attitude is due to the fact that Xiao Peng has not done anything illegal at all! The prize money of the competition is a check, and there is no need to report; the cash withdrawal is AT, and it takes less than an hour, and it is completely too late to fill out the currency transaction report now!

Xiao Peng is unhappy now that the stars and stripes are Citibank and the national tax, and he is addicted to drinking Chinese blood, right?

Xiao Peng and Yang Meng walked out of the FB building, and the middle-aged woman in a suit who followed them now looked at Xiao Peng with a nervous expression.

"Mr. Xiao, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble! But this is my job. The middle-aged woman apologized to Xiao Peng. She is a staff member of Citibank, and she is the one who reported Xiao Peng's account problem to the National Taxation Department, and joined FB to investigate Xiao Peng.

Xiao Peng shrugged his shoulders and said with a flat face: "That's right, I understand you, it's all for work." Okay, now please take me to the nearest bank, I want to fill out the currency transaction report!"

"Yes, yes, yes! We will go through these formalities right away! Two gentlemen, please get into my car!" Hearing Xiao Peng's expressions of understanding, the middle-aged woman let out a sigh of relief and took the two to Citibank on Wall Street.

After Xiao Peng entered the bank, he filled out the 'currency transaction report' in a proper manner and handed the report to the bank clerk: "Is there no problem now?" Xiao Peng asked.

The middle-aged woman took the 'currency transaction report' and breathed a sigh of relief. I saw her smile and said, "Mr. Xiao, today because of our work mistakes, we have caused you inconvenience. Once again, I would like to express my sincere apologies to you, but this matter is generally caused by the difference in the laws of the two countries. Mr. Xiao, we should pay more attention in the future to avoid such misunderstandings again. ”

Xiao Peng nodded: "Well, you're right, I will avoid such a thing." ”

The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, if you have any financial problems in the future, you can always come to me, my name is Bonnie, if you want, I am honored to be your financial product manager." ”

"Can I find you any financial problems?" Xiao Peng asked.

The middle-aged woman smiled and nodded: "Of course you can, that's my honor!"

"That's good, help me cancel my Citibank account. All funds are transferred to this Hua Xia Bank account. Xiao Peng handed Bonnie a note with his Huaxia Bank account number written on it.

Bonnie was shocked when she heard this: "Mr. Xiao, what are you doing here?" I have already expressed my sincere apologies to you. ”

Xiao Peng smiled slightly: "I accepted your suggestion, in order to avoid the same thing in the future, the best way is to stop using your bank's services." ”

Bonnie wanted to say something, but Yang Meng, who was on the side, was impatient: "Can you do it? Hurry up, don't waste our time!"

"This 。。。。。。 Bonnie didn't know what to say, and looked anxious. Xiao Peng's account is not very rich in money, and the bonuses of several competitions and the like add up to more than 10 million US dollars, which is really not much here on Wall Street.

But I can't stand it, it's just a month's worth of funds! And it's all private cash flow! The most important thing is that when FB investigated just now, she already knew Xiao Peng's identity, the new Triple Crown jockey!

If there is anyone in the Stars and Stripes who are most afraid of dealing with, it must be two kinds of people, one is a celebrity, the other is a rich person, Xiao Peng is now a rich celebrity, and if she has a dispute with such a person, the consequences are really unbearable for her.

Yang Meng's voice was not small, and a man in a suit walked over: "Mr. Xiao, why did you come to our bank?"

Xiao Peng was stunned: "You are?"

The man in the suit smiled, "My name is Fez, JD-Fez." We've seen it at the Bemon Championship, after all, our bank is one of the sponsors of that event. ”

Xiao Peng smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, Fez, I'm a patient with severe face blindness." "There are so many people who have participated in the competition, how can he remember it?

Fez said: "Mr. Xiao, you are a noble person who forgets things. Don't you know if there's anything I can do for you?"

Xiao Peng nodded and said, "I'm going to cancel my bank account." ”

Fez was stunned: "Mr. Xiao, I don't know why?"

"FB's coffee doesn't taste good. Xiao Peng said lightly.

Fez, who was puzzled when he heard this, frowned and asked, "Mr. Xiao, what does this mean, and what does it have to do with FB?"

Xiao Peng told Fez, who frowned more and more when he listened, and when he finally glared at Bonnie, Bonnie already felt bad.

After listening to Xiao Peng's narration, Fez frowned and thought for a while, and waved his hand behind him: "Nicole, you go and take these two gentlemen to the VIP room to wait for me." Whatever business they need, they can handle it quickly. ”

A young girl left with the two of them. Watching them leave, Bonnie asked, "Mr. Fez, what should I do now?"

"You've been fired!"
