Chapter 547: Ponzi Scheme or Insider Trading

FBI Washington Headquarters Building, Office Area 13.

"17% APY?!"

Hearing Roan's words, Winslow's eyes widened suddenly, Lacey's face was full of incredulity, Michelle and Chenelle looked at each other and realized something, and said in unison:

"Osmond has inside information? He rushed? ”

"Ponzi scheme?"

Both girls realized that the yield was wrong, but they imagined it in a completely different direction.

Michelle used to work at the Washington headquarters and had seen many cases of using inside information to cut leeks in the rain.

Having worked in international business, she has seen similar financial cases that are more of Ponzi schemes.

"It's possible to do both."

Luo An handed the documents in his hand to everyone, and now he didn't have enough information in his hands, and he couldn't be sure what the boss of the pharmaceutical company, Osmond, was doing for the time being.

But Luo An has a simpler thinking logic: stocks, funds, financial products, etc., with an annual return of more than 6%, must put a big question mark.

Because most banks give an annual rate of return between 3% and 6%, banks are the ones who can make money in the world.

All the agents present knew what a Ponzi scheme was, and several people looked at the documents in their hands, and Lacey and Chenelle stood together:

"I think the fund in Osmond's mouth is a Ponzi scheme."

Winslow shook his head, he chose to trust Michelle's judgment:

"I think Osmond is using internal information to rush and cut the leeks of the people at the bottom.

We can all recognize the Ponzi scheme, which is a fraud, and the rich people will not be able to see it? ”

"No, Winslow, you're thinking wrong."

Mona tossed the folder aside, raised her head, sneered, and said:

"A Ponzi scheme is actually a story of three people becoming tigers, you believe that you can make money, I believe you can make money, we can deceive the next person and it can make money, and in the end it can really make money.

The thing itself is an exploitation system, exploiting and sucking blood from the late arrivals to feed the first to enrich the first.

Many of those rich people probably know that this is a scam, but they all think that as long as they withdraw their money before the scam is exposed, they will not lose. ”

Luo An grinned and added:

"It's about who has a quick nose and is a fast runner."

“OK。”

Michelle hesitated for a few seconds and nodded, Winslow thought for a moment and said with a smile:

"I still think Osmond is using insider information to play preemptively."

"This cannot be ruled out."

Luo An did not deny this possibility, and after a few seconds of silence, he picked up the coffee and drank it all, and said:

"Guys, whether it's a Ponzi scheme or an insider run-and-roll, Knockwick-Bragg must have been killed because he found out something.

During his lifetime, Nockwick used the fake name Luthul-Field to find a scientific institute to test something.

Mona, Michelle, you two use the computer to investigate and see if you can figure out what the thing being tested is.

Winslow, Chenelle, Lacey, and the others went offline to go to that scientific research institution to investigate, surveillance video, entry and exit records, experiment records, etc., and try to find a way to get a copy back. ”

“OK!”

"No problem!"

The five agents nodded in unison, Michelle and Mona returned to their seats and began to operate the computer, and the other three simply sorted out their equipment and immediately set off from the office area of Investigation Team 13.

As the leader of the group, Luo Ann groaned for a while, briefly sorted out the folders, and took them to Verenis's office.

When Verenes was transferred to the FBI's Washington headquarters, she served as a working assistant to Secretary Steuse.

As a work assistant, Vereneth's office in this building is more than double the size of the office she had when she was the team leader in the New York branch.

Roan knocked on the door and entered the office:

"Good afternoon, sir."

"Good afternoon."

Seeing Luo An, Verenis didn't talk nonsense, waved his hand and motioned for him to take a chair and sit down, and then said:

"What's the matter?"

"Regarding the case in my hand, I led someone to find some clues."

Luo Ann handed the folder to Vereneth and briefly described the pharmaceutical company boss Osmond, the head of scientific research Vivina, and the fund.

Osmond and Vivina's identities are not ordinary, and for this kind of rich person, the investigation team's previous investigation methods are not suitable, because the other party will not say a word 100% and ask for a lawyer.

Coupled with the fact that there are a lot of people and money involved in this case, Luo An thinks that he is just a small investigation team leader, and his identity and position are not suitable for lifting such a big lid.

So it's time to get thighs for help.

Looking at the information in her hand, the expression on Vereneth's face was a little strange, and after Luo An finished narrating, she closed the folder and raised her eyebrows slightly, took a deep look at Luo An, and said softly:

"You're so fast."

Ann: "......"

Without waiting for Luo Ann to speak, Vereneth took out a black folder from the pile of documents next to him, handed it to Luo An, and said:

"That private club, I happened to find some clues."

Luo An took the folder and looked down, Verenis leaned back and lifted Erlang's legs, and introduced:

"The owner of that club is a senator in Congress.

Osmond, the pharmaceutical company boss you just mentioned, and the senator are college friends, belong to the same brotherhood, and have a very good relationship.

When I looked up these clues before, I was still wondering why the relationship between Osmond and the senator was so good.

The fund with an annual return of 17% that you just introduced finally made me figure this out. ”

"Wow."

After reading the information in the document, Luo An casually said an interjection.

Roan is actually not surprised, there is no corruption here, everything is in accordance with the law of the federation.

It's normal for a senator to have a good relationship with a company owner.

"As for the Vivina you mentioned, I've found out a little bit about her, too."

A strange color flashed in Vereneth's eyes, and her voice changed slightly:

"She and Osmond, and the senator, the three of them often go to certain locations together."

Seeing that the expression on Verenis's face was not quite right, Luo An thought of something in his mind, and asked tentatively:

"Sir, what are you talking about?"

"It's exactly what you think."

The air in the office instantly quieted down, and Luo An was a little surprised this time.

After a few seconds of silence, Luo An changed the topic with a light cough and asked:

"Sir, what are we going to do with this case next?"

Senators, corporate bosses, Ponzi schemes, insider trading, private clubs...... Each of these words represents trouble.

Vereneth glanced at the watch on her wrist, stood up and began to pack her papers, and said:

"Mr. Clement will be right back."

After Vereneth found out about the club, she originally planned to contact Mr. Clement first, and then call Roan with the clue, and go to Mr. Clement's office with Roan to discuss the case.

But Verenis never expected that Luo Ann would investigate the case so quickly, and almost at the same time as her, he found out about Osmond, and also found clues such as funds that she didn't find.

Thinking of this, Verenis, who had finished packing up the documents, glanced at Luo An quietly, a flash of appreciation flashed in her eyes, and she said softly:

"Roan, come with me to Mr. Clement's office."

“OK。”

Roan got up and followed, and walked a short distance to Mr. Clement's office.

As soon as Verenith was about to reach out and knock on the door, the secretary outside the office pushed the door open first, and then he smiled at the two of them and made a "please come in" gesture.

Vereneth had a strange look in her eyes, took a deep look at Luo An, and said softly:

"This is the first time I've entered this office without knocking."

“……”

Luo An was a little surprised but didn't speak, I don't know if it was an illusion, he felt as if he smelled a smell of vinegar?

Walking into the office, Mr. Clement was lying on the desk writing something, took the document handed by Vereneth, looked at it for a moment, he suddenly looked at Roan and asked:

"Luo An, what do you think of Tairen?"

Ann: "......"
