American Tax Officer-Chapter 553 - 280: UBS Group Backing Down?

Chapter 553: Chapter 280: UBS Group Backing Down?

“Soros is indeed right, the Speaker of the House has been preparing this bill lately, and had a discussion with me about it. While numerous Congress members support the bill, there’s a significant obstacle, which is securing the necessary funding. It now seems likely that they’re looking at the funds David has recently collected.”

“Likewise, the Speaker’s people have spoken to me about this bill. America’s finances are really tight, and apart from the funds David has recently secured, there’s nowhere else to obtain money from.”

“…”

Among the Freemasonry members present, many were current Congress members who had also heard about this bill, so they now began to express their stands one by one.

People like those from Bogwana and Bennett had their expressions turn sour almost immediately upon hearing these statements.

The situation had become clear, the ‘Aid W Act’ was evidently the White House’s, and Congress’s, main policy.

And for this bill to pass, the funding source had to be addressed first.

Every penny in America’s budget is accounted for, and taking from any category would upset those with existing benefits—the only funds available for the ‘Aid W Act’ were those that David had recently come into, which hadn’t been budgeted yet.

So, to return to the point.

If they decided to take action against David now, the White House would likely be the first to express dissatisfaction, followed by Congress. But that’s not even the worst of it.

The worst issue is that the funds for the ‘Aid W Act’ aren’t going directly to the W party, but are instead going to be used to purchase arms that would then be sent to them.

Where would these weapons be bought?

From America’s military-industrial complexes, of course.

And whose realm of influence are the military-industrial complexes under?

The answer is the Ansa Group!

In other words, if they dare touch David now, they would essentially be cutting off the Ansa Group’s revenue stream.

We’re talking about a budget of hundreds of billions here.

In the face of such a huge sum, not just the Ansa Group, but also groups like the Yudai Group would be in a frenzy. If the Ansa Group chalked this bill up to them, they would be in for it as well.

Don’t think that Freemasonry has unassailable power in America, controlling the economic lifelines of the nation— the Ansa Group isn’t to be trifled with either, this group holds the guns.

Right now, many of them harbored deep resentment against David for overextending, but they also didn’t want to spark a conflict with the Ansa Group because of that.

“Hmm… in light of this, I think it’s better not to move against David for the time being, to avoid stirring dissatisfaction from all parties.”

“That’s right, there’s no need to touch David now. We can wait until the ‘Aid W Act’ passes. After that, we can make a decision without it being too late.”

“No, if we don’t take action now, he might strike at us while the ‘Aid W Act’ hasn’t passed yet, taking advantage of the protection from various forces. Then, what do we do?”

“Bogwana is correct—David may or may not know about the ‘Aid W Act.’ If he finds out and reacts, I’m sure he’ll intensify his moves against us with his disposition…”

“…”

As the ‘Aid W Act’ was brought to the fore, the Freemasonry Group became internally divided due to the involvement of various powers. After an afternoon of discussion, no one was able to persuade the others. Without a direct stance from Henrietta either, they finally decided to wait for UBS Group’s stance the next day before further discussions.

Time moved on to the next morning.

A fatigued-looking Yamarin and others once again arrived at the Los Angeles Branch early in the morning, under the watchful eyes of the media, and walked in.

In the Director’s office.

David, who had been reading the morning news, saw the group being led in. He put down the newspaper, leaned back in his chair, fixed his gaze on them, and said, “Mr. Yamarin, tell me your group’s response from UBS!”

“Our group’s executives believe that you exaggerated a bit yesterday, Director David; they don’t think you have that much leverage,” Yamarin said.

This was also the conclusion he and people like Jace in the group had come to after discussions the day before: before today’s meeting, they had to probe more about David’s detailed transaction information, besides the customer’s information revealed yesterday.

They were concerned that David might have been bluffing to trick them.

David’s face remained impassive as he pulled open a drawer, took out a stack of thick documents and dropped them on the desk.

Seeing this, Yamarin and the others grew serious. They didn’t dare waste time and immediately picked up a file to start reviewing it.

Seven or eight minutes later, their expressions turned grim.

David then spoke up, “Well, do you need to see more of my leverage? I can have someone bring over a few more stacks of documents like these.”

At the mention of several more stacks, Yamarin and the others broke out in a cold sweat. Just the dozen or so documents on hand, if taken to court, would be more than enough trouble for them.

It seemed David wasn’t just bluffing; he actually had gathered God-knows-how details about the CUUI, CUUO products, which was why he was so confident.

Realizing this, Yamarin could only say, “No need, we can talk about the Sackler family’s assets, but there are some conditional terms.”
