Chapter 221: Unnecessary
The scene of the trial.
"This ...... How can this be considered tax evasion, I didn't know that this stone was worth $550, I just thought it looked good and bought it home, this is simply wronged, everyone commented on it! ”
Flynn was so aggrieved that he turned to the crowd of people who were watching and wanted the people in the room to say something for him.
But after David's coupons and tips, who on the scene dared to speak for him.
They were also afraid, after all, David was the one who dared to arrest people on the street and then drag them into the courtroom for trial.
If they come forward and David also finds an excuse to accuse them of tax evasion, where can they cry out?
What's more, the courts and judges here are all from the IRS, and if they dare to talk too much and be charged with contempt of court, it will not be bearable.
"Flynn, I've said it many times, people in your human rights organizations should know the law better than ordinary people, so the windfall benefits are also reported to our IRS for tax payment, and the stone you picked up is worth $550, but you didn't report it to pay taxes, so what's wrong with convicting you of tax evasion?"
David repeated his previous words, but Flynn was still unconvinced, he retorted: "I understand the law is understand the law, but I really don't understand the value of this stone, those who don't know are not guilty, and you IRS can't arbitrarily deduct crimes!" ”
"He who does not know is not guilty? Okay, then I'll let you die! ”
David reached into a file bag, took out another USB flash drive, and handed it to a staff member at the scene.
The staff member immediately took it and plugged it into the playback device, and soon, a picture appeared on the big screen.
The picture shows a jade shop, and the next second a man walks into the shop, this person is none other than Flynn who is now standing in the defendant's dock.
"Hello sir, is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Okay, please help me identify this stone."
"Okay, please wait a minute......"
In the shop, a staff member took the stone handed by Flynn to the bottom of an instrument, and after about two or three minutes, the man took the stone out, returned to Flynn and said, "Sir, this is a red beryl, the market value is about $550, do you need to sell it?" ”
"Not for now, thank you."
The picture stopped abruptly here, but at this time, everyone in the courtroom had different expressions.
Everyone in the auditorium knew that Flynn would definitely not be able to use the excuse of the innocence of the ignorant to refute it, because the video had already proved that he had gone to identify the stone, which proved that he knew the price of the jade.
That is, he is going to be finished.
On the defendant's side, Flynn was like a mourner, he didn't expect that David would even get this video, and because of the appearance of this video, it can be regarded as defeating the reason he used to argue before.
And when the atmosphere in the arena was silent, Nicola on the stage knocked on the gavel and said: "Defendant Flynn, now that the evidence is conclusive, it proves that you are not unaware of the value of this stone, what else do you have to say?" ”
Flynn was speechless, and Jeff on the side also understood that the IRS was determined to charge their members, and the most important thing was to find a reason to charge, so he was also speechless at the moment.
"Since the defendant and the defense lawyer did not refute, then this court declares that the defendant is guilty of tax evasion! In addition, as a member of a human rights organization, the defendant should have known that windfall income tax was subject to accident income tax, but the defendant knew about this law but still chose to conceal it, which is even more of a crime! ”
Nicola's words fell, and Flynn below was almost crying without tears.
At this moment, how he wished that he was not a member of a human rights organization, but an ordinary citizen.
In that case, the IRS would not be able to convict him of being a member of a human rights organization and familiar with the law.
At the thought of the cruel punishment he was about to face, Flynn panicked completely, and he shouted hoarsely, "No, I don't accept your sentence, I will appeal......"
"The appeal is invalid and dismissed!"
Nicola's cold words not only made Flynn's face bloodless, but also the two companions on the side, who criticized the IRS for abusing their private power and trampling on the human rights of citizens all day long, but they did not expect that today, this private power was used on their heads.
"Now announce the verdict!"
Nicola stood up directly and recited aloud: "The defendants Ted, Flynn, and Darwin are guilty of tax evasion!" ”
"And as a human rights organization, you are familiar with the laws of the Federation, and you are considered to be guilty of knowing the law and committing a crime!"
"Ted is now sentenced to 30 years in prison without parole for life!"
"Sentenced to Darwin, 30 years in prison, no parole for life!"
"Sentenced Flynn to 30 years in prison without parole for life!"
Although many people have guessed that once these three people are charged, they will definitely be sentenced to a light sentence, but after such a heavy sentence of 30 years, they are really shocked.
30 years!
How many 30 years can there be in life!
To say that Rodgosky and those people were sentenced to thousands of years in prison, although this punishment is cruel, it can be regarded as excusable, after all, this group of people is not only extremely vicious, but also evaded tens of millions of taxes.
And now the three members of this human rights organization have only escaped tens of dollars in taxes at most, and the few like Ted have only collected a $20 tip, and only need to pay $2 in taxes according to the tax rate.
And just because he escaped such a small tax, he had to endure 30 years of torture, which has to be said to be too appalling.
But it didn't take long for everyone at the scene to be relieved.
The reason why these three people were sentenced to such heavy penalties was, of course, not because they had evaded such a small amount of taxes.
The main reason is that I chose to work against David and the IRS, which will end up like this!
So it may not be an exaggeration to say that they are to blame for all this.
Thinking of this, a thought arose in the hearts of the celebrities from all walks of life present, that is, if they were also approached by David, it would be best not to resist but to destroy the disaster, otherwise, if they don't do it, they will be charged with such a crime, then there is really no place to cry.
"Your Excellency, I strongly protest against this, even if they are convicted of tax evasion, but the amount is so small, it absolutely should not be punished with such a heavy sentence of 30 years, such a sentence is seriously contrary to our country's judicial standards, and will cause chaos in our country's judicial process!"
Jeff was in a hurry, the organization originally sent him to confront the IRS, so as not to let the IRS arbitrarily charge him.
But now that the charges have been charged, even if the members of his organization have been sentenced like this, if this is really the end of the result, then he will not have the face to serve as the chief lawyer of the Los Angeles Human Rights Organization in the future.
"Defense lawyer, you have to make it clear that the Department of Justice is the business of the Department of Justice, and the IRS is another system, and the measurement standards of the two cannot be the same, so don't mix them up and dismiss the protest!"
Nicola's words are actually saying, 'I have my own national situation here, don't use your court's sword to behead the officials of my dynasty!' ’
Of course, Jeff understood, he was so angry at the moment, but there was nothing he could do, because this was the IRS courtroom.
At this time, Ted in the dock also recovered from 30 years of cruel punishment and lost consciousness, and he roared angrily: "Fake, I will evade taxes, and that is only a tax of 2 US dollars, why should I be sentenced to 30 years?" Why? On what basis? ”
"Hmph, if you want to know why, then I'll tell you!"
"The basis of this court's decision is not based on the size of the amount, but on the basis of the severity of the circumstances. It's like a robber, he only grabbed 1 US knife, but because the plot is too bad, isn't it reasonable to sentence him to ten years? ”
"And your tax evasion is the same, the circumstances are heinous, and we can also sentence you to 30 years!"
Nicola can become a judge of the IRS, and the theory of eloquence is naturally not weak, and with these words alone, Ted is so frightened that he doesn't know how to refute it.
"Take it down, do it now!"
"Fack, I'm not convinced, I'm not convinced!"
"I want to appeal, I want to find the media to expose your IRS abuse of power enforcement!"
“……”
Although the three of them continued to abuse and express their dissatisfaction, how could the law enforcement officers of the IRS at the scene get used to them and directly carry them down like pigs.
Nicola tapped the gavel and said, "Okay guys, that's the end of today's trial!" ”
The celebrities from all walks of life in the auditorium stood up one after another, and after glancing at David with jealous eyes, they walked towards the door in an orderly manner.
And the people in the IRS system here came to David's side, and Joao was the first to speak: "Director David, you really have you, in such a short period of time, you can really get these three people, I believe that after this incident, you will be more comfortable in your jurisdiction!" ”
Charging the three members of the human rights group with tips, coupons and jade is a bit of an unforgivable offense, but it is in line with the IRS's approach.
In addition, after today's judgment is announced, people from all walks of life will definitely be more jealous of their IRS.
After all, even tips and coupons can be grounds for conviction, so who can guarantee that they will not be charged with such a crime one day?
In this way, in order to avoid being charged with crimes, those suspected of tax evasion must only pay their taxes obediently!
"Maybe......"
Of course, David also knows that today's trial may be very shocking after it is heard, but it will also have a greater impact on those lawbreakers in the jurisdiction.
As for the group of capitalists in Hollywood, it may not be easy for them to pay their taxes openly and honestly.
"Okay, Director David, this is your credit, you go out and report the results to the media!"
Hearing Joao's reminder, David nodded and then came to the elevator entrance, took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor and walked out of the door.
And the media, who had been waiting for news here for a long time, saw that David, the 'leading actor', appeared, and immediately swarmed around.
"Director David, is there any result for the three members of the human rights organization?"
David pressed his hands down, waited until everyone was quiet, and then said: "There is a result, the three of them were convicted of tax evasion and were sentenced to 30 years in prison!" ”
"What! Convicted of tax evasion? Also sentenced to thirty years in prison? ”
The media at the scene were all dumbfounded when they heard this.
"My hair, it's impossible, that's a member of a human rights organization, how can he be convicted so easily?"
"Oh my God, how long has it been since the three of them were arrested, no matter how powerful the IRS is, it is impossible to collect evidence of their crimes in such a short period of time, right? What's more, did they really sin? ”
"It's an IRS court, after all, I think...... The IRS wouldn't be guilty of misuse of lynching, would it? ”
At the same time, after hearing David's words, the Internet was also suddenly fried.
Los Angeles, headquarters of human rights organizations.
Butler and the rest of the team were still waiting with anticipation for the IRS to be deflated, and then they were ready to ascend to the great image of the coronation of the great warriors, but they did not expect to wait for this result in front of the TV, which made them all stunned as if they had been immobilized by the spell.
It wasn't until half a ring that Butler was the first to come to his senses, he slammed his fist on the table, and scolded angrily: "Falk squid, can anyone tell me what the hell is going on, how can our people be sentenced to 30 years, and what is that bastard Jeff doing!" ”
When the words fell, everyone at the scene didn't dare to take a breath, and they were also puzzled, and their three members didn't have any problems with taxes, how could they come up with such a result?
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and it was none other than Jeff, who had hurried back from the courtroom.
As soon as he saw that it was him, Butler immediately asked: "You came back just in time for Jeff, if you can't give me a reasonable explanation for this matter, you don't have to stay in a human rights organization!" ”
Jeff looked bitter, but he still spoke slowly: "President Butler, everyone, this is how it ......"
Jeff painted a detailed picture of tips, coupons, and jade.
And Butler and the others, who listened to the words, were even more dumbfounded, tipping coupon jade, this can also be regarded as tax evasion?
"What the are you talking about Jeff, tips, coupons, jade, which could also charge him with tax evasion? Are you too drunk or what? ”
Butler directly reprimanded, and the rest of the members present also looked at Jeff with dissatisfied.
"This ...... I don't want to......"
Jeff looked aggrieved and explained: "The black tax bill has a 'profit regulation', the definition of this regulation is very general, in short, as long as an individual generates income, whether it is robbery, fraud, or the current tip, coupon, as long as the income is generated, then it needs to pay taxes to the IRS, this regulation he insists on deducting now, I can't refute it......"
"Then according to what you say, as long as he sees someone who is not pleasing to his eyes in the future, and uses this so-called 'profit regulation' to deduct this person, then who can escape?"
"Then this man has to pray that he really has no handle......"
"What kind of international joke are you kidding, there are 300 million people in the whole of the United States, not to mention the more, at least 10 million people have received tips, right? Aren't all 10 million people guilty of tax evasion? ”
Jeff shrunk his head: "Strictly speaking, but David and the IRS will definitely not really pursue it, he will pursue us mainly ...... Mainly......"
What he wanted to say was that it was mainly because the people from their human rights organization went to make trouble and did it against David that they ended up like this, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.
But although he didn't say it, but Butler and the others didn't say stupid, they naturally understood, and he could only scold angrily: "Damn,"
"Wait...... Jeff, even if he was charged with tax evasion, how many dollars did he escape, and our people were sentenced to 30 years? Are you a dead man, and you won't argue with reason? ”
"Yes, the eight leaders of the criminal group in front of me have only been sentenced to 20 years, even if the people of our human rights organization have evaded taxes, how much have they escaped, and they have been sentenced to 30 years, how can this sentence not make sense, right?"
“……”
In the face of a crowd of questions, Jeff felt a sense of grievance in his heart at this time, he was fighting, but there was a bird, it was the judge court of the Internal Revenue Bureau, could he still rush to the judge's seat and reject the judge's sentence?
"Hello high-level human rights organizations, I know you're watching!"
Just as the atmosphere was deadlocked, a sound from the TV made everyone let go of their prejudices against Jeff and turn their heads to look at the TV.
At this time, the TV was still showing David being interviewed, and he continued: "Listen to me, your human rights organization is a public welfare organization, and I have always respected you before, and I also uphold the posture that the well water does not interfere with the river water. ”
"However, some of your members are too irrational and think about stepping on our IRS every day to show off, which seriously affects the operation of our work, so after I finish dealing with the matter at hand, I may go to your headquarters to help you eliminate these black sheep!"
As soon as David's words came out, Butler and the others were stunned again.
Isn't this a naked threat to their human rights organizations in front of the whole world?
"Fake, Fake, this bastard dares to threaten us!"
"Damn, this bastard's arrogance is too arrogant, it's really easy for us human rights organizations to bully, right?"
"President Butler, we can't sit back any longer, we must fight back!"
Members of human rights organizations were blown up in their lungs.
David sentenced their members to 30 years in prison for such trivial charges, and now dares to threaten them in front of the whole world.
If there is no reaction to this, then their human rights organization will become a joke in the future?
What else do you talk about becoming a human rights fighter?
