Chapter 360:. Child-raised
"The PwC accountant called me the morning before yesterday and said that their PwC was replaced by Catherine. Ms. Douglas sued, Catherine. Ms. Douglas filed a lawsuit against PwC in a court in Washington, D.C., demanding that PwC return ownership of the Little Angel Fund they oversaw with a total value of $2.2 million, as well as compensation for her investment losses totaling $800,000 plus interest. ”
"Catherine. Douglas? Who is this woman? Why did she want a little angel fund? Tang Feng asked puzzledly, the Little Angel Fund was the fund that he and Sam jointly funded to ensure the future life of Tim and their families.
Sam smiled wryly, "Catherine. You may not be familiar with the name Douglas, but if you say Catherine. Stanton, you'll probably know who she is. ”
"Catherine. Stanton? Last name Stanton? Could it be that she is Tim's wife? ”
"Ex-wife, to be exact." Sam nodded and said, "We all know about Tim's divorce, and Tim's ex-wife is this Catherine. Stanton. ”
"But she has already divorced Tim, and this fund is not her share in any way you think about it, so what money does she ask for with a shy face?" Tang Feng was puzzled.
Sam shook his head, as if he didn't know where to explain to Tang Feng, and after smoking half a cigarette, he spoke: "According to the conditions under which we set up this fund, Catherine. Douglas is indeed not eligible to have this fund, but don't forget, she is the biological mother of Little Stanton after all, and some time ago, she has regained custody of Little Stanton through legal channels. That is to say, from the current legal point of view, everything that little Stanton owns should be subject to Catherine. Ms. Douglas's guardianship, so, from another legal point of view. Catherine. Douglas also has custody of the Little Angel Fund. ”
Little Stanton is Tim. Stanton's son, only eleven years old this year, is a very lively and cute little guy, after Tim's accident last year, Tang Feng and Sam put the little angel fund in the name of Stanton Jr. and his grandparents.
Tang Feng said strangely: "But when we set up the fund, we had already signed an agreement with Tim and their family, and Tim's family only had the annual dividends of this fund before the child grew up to be eighteen years old, and could not touch the principal!" ”
"Herein lies the problem. It's good that Sean and Ethan's families have signed this agreement, and even Tim's parents have signed this agreement, but only Catherine. Douglas did not sign this agreement, that is, Catherine. Douglas was no longer bound by the agreement, but now that she had regained custody of Stanton Jr., she took the opportunity to sue the court for the money. Legally. Catherine. There is nothing wrong with Douglas's approach. ”
Tang Feng patted the table and said a little angrily, "Sam." Didn't I come up with this money? We should have the right to decide what to do with the money. ”
Sam smiled bitterly and said, "Wind, have you forgotten that after we set up this fund, you still said that you wanted to give all the ownership of this fund to Tim and his family. So, although the money was paid by both of us, after they signed that agreement. This money is actually equivalent to us giving it away to them for free, and we don't even have the right to monitor it, because according to the agreement, the monitoring rights of this money are with PricewaterhouseCoopers, and the two of us actually did that once. It's the famous hero of your country, the hero who likes to help people do good deeds."
"His name is Lei Feng!"
"That's right! In fact, the two of us just did Lei Feng once from beginning to end, in fact, PwC called me to inform me just because of face. ”
"Sam, do we have any means to fight back? I'm not short of that money, but I really don't want to give that our hard-earned money. Child-raised! We paid this money to provide a living security for Tim's parents and children, otherwise why would we set up this fund? Just give them the money! So, this money definitely can't make that. The child raised got it! Tang Feng was really a little angry.
"Well, man, don't be angry just yet, there should be a solution to this matter. After all, this fund was originally funded by us, and the records of the capital contribution at that time were all on the bank's side, and we also have the signatures of Sean, Shaq, Lewis, Oscar, Jones, Ethan, and their families, which is enough to prove why this fund was established in the first place, so if we file a counterclaim, we should have a good chance of winning this lawsuit. It's just that such a lawsuit involves a relatively long time, and "
"Say, if you have any concerns, I don't know as well as you about the legal aspects, you can call the shots in this regard, I just don't want that. The son raised the money! When I heard Tim say, that. Ziyang abandoned their father and son, and now he sees that Tim has a large amount of compensation here, and he wants to come back to get involved in this compensation, where is there such a good thing in this world? No, this thing must not be let that. The son succeeded! Otherwise I wouldn't mind going back and finding someone to take out this. Child-raised! "Tang Feng is really angry this time, he looks down on this kind of person the most, he abandoned his husband and son at the beginning, but now he sees the benefits, and he is like a wild dog that smells, if it is replaced by Tang Feng, Tang Feng will really break this kind of person's legs!
Sam shook his head helplessly and said, "It's definitely okay to fight a lawsuit, I'm more than ninety percent sure of this." It's just the wind, have you thought about it? If we were to sue that woman with such fanfare, it would definitely be a great disservice to little Stanton. Because as long as this kind of lawsuit is fought, it is inevitable that Stanton's grandparents will testify in court, and even confront Stanton's mother in court, but Stanton Jr. is only a child less than twelve years old."
Sam's words made Tang Feng suffocate suddenly, yes, the purpose of setting up this fund was to protect Tim and his family, but now if it is really a confrontation with the court, this is the biggest harm to little Stanton, which is contrary to the original intention of setting up this fund!
For a while, Tang Feng also fell into silence. (To be continued......)
