For the next few days, Edward was studying the dossier in addition to class, and Rustberg did not rush him.

Only then did he know that Bergman was really old, and after sending Edward out of the office, he called Roseberg in a low voice, apologized to her repeatedly, and promised generous legal fees, which moved the other party.

Edward felt strange about this, although it was hard for Rustberg to raise a child alone, it didn't look like he was short of money.

He tactfully asked her, "Why did you take this case in the first place, and still decide to help him file an appeal after being wronged by Bergman?" ”

Rustberg's answer was also simple: "You can read all the files once...... Don't ask me similar questions in the future, learn to find the answers yourself......"

Edward: "¥%............*"

……

After three days, he found that the case was indeed strange.

Bergman is certainly not a good person, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a bad person.

It is not an exaggeration to put such a person in prison.

The strange thing is that almost all the media are denouncing Bergman in one voice, there are many and mixed media in the United States, and it is normal for everyone to disagree with each other, and even large media groups rely on this strategy to cut leeks.

New York is a media stronghold, bringing together the largest number of news media in the whole meter and even the world, and the political spectrum covers all from the far left to the far right.

The last time he enjoyed this treatment was when Hitler was alive.

As I said before, the innocence of the people who run the nursing home is news, Bergman is really not too dark in it, at least the mortality rate of the elderly in his nursing home has always been normal, compared to the fierce attacks he received from the media, it is simply a fuss.

And there is also a charge of colluding with the underworld to launder money, and it is pointed out that it is with the Genoves family, one of the five major families in New York.

This is obviously illogical, the Italians are mostly ecumenical Catholics, and it stands to reason that they cannot go with Judaism.

Besides, the Italians also have their own churches, their own revolving doors, so why bother to go far and wide to find Bergman.

No, the five major families can also help each other to launder money, and the entire committee can also assume the role of coordinating resource channels, which is a very normal "commercial" behavior.

As one of the five major families, Genoves must have a lot of money laundering agencies under his hands, and for Italian gangsters who have always been accustomed to trusting their own people, it seems a bit unreasonable to let a Jew whose main business is to open a nursing home participate in their money laundering business.

If it is said that it is colluding with a small and medium-sized family like Nizo, it is somewhat possible.

Edward thought of this and called Felice.

Two hours later, the latter appeared in front of him.

"I'm sorry, Ferritsch, for you to make the trip, but I really don't have time to come to New York right now, and there are things that are neither safe nor clear on the phone."

"We're friends and we don't need to see each other like that. God, this is Yale? Why does this group of guys look like they are all ...... than my subordinates" Fetcher thought for a long time, "not like serious people?" ”

When they said this, the two of them were passing by the "liberated area" of the big lawn, and in the face of the smoky tents, men and women, and the smell of big m in the air, Fetcher seemed very uncomfortable. After all, the mafia is ostensibly not allowed to get poisoned.

Edward shook his head: "To be honest, these people are really inferior to the mafia in many cases......"

"I can't say that, Hansen is very powerful, and those who can get into Yale are amazing people," Ferry said seriously, his eyes flashing with admiration, "You have graduated, and you can casually turn the case upside down, how admirable." ”

Edward knew he couldn't talk to him much about it, "I ask you, do you know anything about the family's money laundering?" ”

"Me?" Fetcher shook his head, "This thing is too complicated, I have to calculate it all day long, and I am only responsible for escorting the cash at most, and I don't interfere in the specifics......"

"Uh......" Edward then remembered that the person in front of him could do addition and subtraction within 100 at most before he knew himself.

"I'm not going to hide it from you, my teacher and I are working as lawyers for Bergman and helping him appeal......"

"God, Eddard, listen to me, listen to me, you have to push this case off, push it off, push it away" Féricher clasped his head in his hands, as if the trouble was his own.

"This guy has become a public enemy of the United States, and everyone wants him to die, even we think he is a scumbag, a scum!" Féricher looked extremely angry, "Don't let me see this guy, or else!" ”

"Uh...... Uh, you calm down first, calm down. I ask you, how do you know he's scum. ”

"Huh? Don't you watch TV? Ferichet glared at him

"So if you say on TV that he's a scumbag, he's a scumbag."

"I'm not stupid!" Fetcher was very dissatisfied, "But several major TV stations say that he is a scumbag, so how can you say it?" ”

"Okay" Edward could only spread his hands, the other party's words sounded quite reasonable, with his level of intelligence, it was already very good to think so.

If you continue to entangle with him, it means that you are not worthy of Yale.

But the more this happened, the more it made him feel that there was something wrong with the situation.

"Tell me about money laundering, then? Tell as much as you know. ”

As a result, Ferry babbled on and on a long way, but it was useless, and it could neither prove that Bergman and Genoves were involved, nor could it prove that it was okay.

But these details also prove from the side that if the underworld really wants to launder money, there is really no need to find an outsider like Bergman.

At the peak of the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union confronted each other, each with a bunch of little brothers to make trouble all over the world, and it costs money to make trouble.

In this environment, the easiest way to launder money is to take a briefcase full of cash, usually which can hold 200W dollars, fly directly from the United States to Switzerland, find a local bank to deposit the money, it's as simple and rude.

As long as the person with the money is well-dressed and behaves generously, he will basically not be asked to open the box for inspection.

Fetcher has done similar work a few times, the advantage of this approach is that it is convenient and fast, but it also has disadvantages, once it is necessary to use money on a large scale, a large amount of foreign funds will be remitted, which will make government regulators suspicious, and in case of bad luck, it will come across unpacking spot checks......

As for the rest, as Edward guessed, several families cooperated with each other, started shell companies, set up fake projects, and made a complicated financial exchange, and the money was bleached.

There's no need to look for Bergman.

"Hey......" Ferry sighed, "Genoves has been developing very rapidly lately, and has become more and more harsh on us, if it weren't for the old guy's ability to 'negotiate' with them repeatedly, I'm afraid we would have been swallowed up long ago." ”

Edward could only pat him on the shoulder, but didn't know what to say.

Fetcher hurriedly took his leave, he still had to go back to New York to see the show.

Chris doesn't come back to eat these nights for a few days, and eats the nutritious meals configured by the nutrition consultant during training.

It is said that the nutrition is balanced, and after eating, the muscles will not grow fat, but in terms of taste, Chris is reluctant to mention it.

Edward was eating pasta in the dining room while watching the news on TV.

"THIS IS FAKENEWS, PROSECUTOR HINES OF THE 'NEW YORK STATE SPECIAL ATTORNEY'S OFFICE FOR HEALTH AND SPECIAL SERVICES' GAVE AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW TO OUR REPORTER, AND HE SAID THAT IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EVERY LAW ENFORCER TO BRING PEOPLE LIKE BERGMAN TO JUSTICE, AND SUCH SCUM MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO GO UNPUNISHED."

"New York State Office of the Special Attorney for Health and Special Services," Edward muttered the awkward name, "what kind of institution is this, it sounds like it is not serious, could it be that it was established temporarily?" ”

The dossier has been almost read, Lustberg has been very busy these days, and he has no time to analyze the case with him, so Edward can only do it single-handedly.

With the idea of trying his luck, after eating, he went straight to the library.

I found the New York State debriefing report for the previous year, flipped to the "Agency" chapter, and read it carefully.

"FXXK......" he scolded softly.

The feeling just now is right, this "New York State Health and Special Services Special Prosecutor's Office" really has a doorway, and it is a new yamen that was only listed last year.

It was noted as temporary, and was set up primarily in response to the Bergman affair to oversee various charities across the state, particularly nursing homes.

It seems normal, and it can even be praised that the New York State government has the spirit of making amends.

But looking down, this provisional institution has a budget of more than $10 million a year and hundreds of staff.

In an age where a dollar can buy a Big Mac and a cup of coffee, the budget and staffing of this agency is a huge one.

Simply converted, the salary of 100 personnel is considered the market average, 1w people, that is, 100w dollars, plus miscellaneous personnel auxiliary expenses, it is great to calculate 150w.

In this way, there is still 850w of surplus money available for use at any time, and you always have to borrow office space, right?

Temporary institutions are not necessarily listed in the state government, find a bigwig's office building, regardless of the location, this benefit will be conveyed.

As for other services, such as purchasing various reports, data, etc., it is even more bottomless.

In a year, the budget of 10 million must be spent cleanly, and most of them will be overspent or something, and then the investment in the next year will definitely be added.

That's how the snowball rolls.

And first the nursing home, then the orphanage, then the homeless shelter, in short, as long as there is a reason to give birth to various institutions and budgets.

The state treasury of New York State is very rich, but the annual expenses are also very scary, and the money is spent in this way for a long time.

"Obedient ......" Edward was speechless, the budget of tens of millions of dollars was approved, how could this state legislature be like a rubber stamp?

What about the legislative power that is said to be a good check and balance on the executive power?

Oh, by the way, New York State is the stronghold of the Democratic Party, the senators elected in the state, the representatives are all Democrats, the state legislature is also the Democratic majority, and the governor and secretary of state are naturally the same, no wonder......

And looking at this report, it seems that this office is going to be converted into a formal body.

"Got it......"

Edward leaned back in his chair, and the messages from before were immediately strung together.

No wonder senior senators, representatives, and senior municipal councilors were dispatched, and this deal was not a loss.

Catch Bergman and beat him up, and then use this as an excuse to get the state legislature to approve the establishment of a new yamen.

From this point of view, 10 million years is still a small meaning, the key is that after the establishment of the new yamen, you can stuff your own people into it in a grand manner.

Using taxpayers' money to support the minions of their own party is a small abacus.

And the whole time was in the sun, and no one could find fault with it.

The Democratic Party has always had a lot of influence in the entertainment media industry, and as long as it is mobilized a little, it can easily cause a chain reaction.

"No wonder......" Edward's brain started quickly, only a few big media took the lead, and the small media would soon follow to bite Bergman, as soon as he was not clean, he could pour out a lot of black material by tearing it off; Second, veteran Senator Andrew Percy stepped out, which is tantamount to giving everyone a signal "Don't worry about him, there is no one above him!" ”。
