American Tax Officer-Chapter 603 - 304: The Debate Over David’s Entry into the Headquarters
Chapter 603: Chapter 304: The Debate Over David’s Entry into the Headquarters
“Go ahead, Director David, the Director and the chief consultant are already waiting for you,”
Upon hearing the reminder from the staff who came to pick them up, David and his entourage were snapped out of their thoughts. They followed the staff to the top floor’s conference room door and walked in.
Inside, Obadiah, Welton Heng, Donald, and other high-ranking officials from Headquarters were already present.
“David, welcome to the Headquarters,”
On seeing his arrival, Obadiah and Donald were among the first to stand up, smiling and reaching out to shake his hand.
Seeing what the Director had done, Rohan and others couldn’t maintain their aloofness, and they too extended their hands for a polite handshake.
“Please take a seat, David,”

When the pleasantries were over, Obadiah gestured for David to sit down.
After David sat down, he opened his briefcase, took out a stack of documents, pushed them forward, and said, “Director, chief consultant… here is the case report on the major cryptocurrency companies, please take a look.”
Obadiah and the others, not wasting any time, took a copy each and started to review them.
About seven or eight minutes later, Obadiah, having looked through the reports, nodded in satisfaction and said, “You investigated Ethereum Company’s transaction data very well, no wonder they ended up playing ball.”
“These must be very confidential information from USDT Company, only you could have obtained it, David, no wonder they gave in as well.”
“Wrigley, so it was you who had such a hold over them…”
Up until then, the high-ranking officials only knew that David was investigating Satoshi Nakamoto and various major cryptocurrency companies.
But as for some of the details, such as why companies like Ethereum and USDT were compromised, they weren’t very clear. Now, after seeing these case reports, they finally understood.
It turned out that David had accessed the top-secret data of these companies. It would have been strange if they hadn’t compromised.
“Director, chief consultant… about the taxation situation in the cryptocurrency field, I have made a summary, and I would like to report it to you now…”
David’s visit to Washington D.C. was under the pretext of reporting on work. Therefore, last night, he had Assistant Kepler arrange a presentation for him, which he now delivered point by point.
After listening to his speech, Obadiah nodded in satisfaction and then asked, “In the cryptocurrency field’s tax inspection, the Headquarters will credit your achievements; you can be assured of that. However, I would like to know, what direction will you take in your governance from now on?”
Upon hearing this question, Welton Heng, Rohan, and the others pricked up their ears.
Because the tax inspection in the cryptocurrency field had been completed, what David’s next investigative direction would be was naturally something everyone wanted to know.
David pondered for a moment before speaking with a pained expression, “Although Los Angeles is a big city, I feel a bit constrained by it. Like this time when I was investigating Ethereum, whose headquarters are in Chicago, I not only had to make a trip there in person but also had to request a lot of cooperation from the local IRS, which is a very cumbersome process.”
“Similarly with USDT Company, their headquarters are in San Jose; a few days ago, when I was investigating them, I had some unpleasant experiences with the head of the local National Revenue Service. If these issues are not resolved, it will be difficult for me to plan my next steps in governance…”
A few days ago, when he was covertly investigating USDT Company, he indeed had some unpleasantness with the head of the San Jose National Revenue Service.
The reason was quite simple: the individual felt that USDT was under his jurisdiction and that David shouldn’t be meddling.
Even if there was to be meddling, their San Jose National Revenue Service should get a share of the taxes.
Of course, David wasn’t unreasonable; he even promised to share a portion of the tax credits with them after the matter was concluded.
But the individual’s appetite was too great: he said a portion wasn’t enough; at least a fifty-fifty split was necessary.
Faced with such an impudent demand, David wasn’t foolish enough to agree, and a conflict ensued.
Unable to compromise, David was incensed and threatened to have the confrontation arbitrated by the high-ranking officials in Washington D.C. Headquarters, which made the individual back down and make concessions.
“The head of San Jose National Revenue Service is Yiheng, right? What’s the matter with him, David?”
“You were investigating USDT Company, and he should have just cooperated properly. What grievances could he have?”
Seeing David vent his frustrations, some of the high-ranking officials also expressed dissatisfaction with the San Jose National Revenue Service chief.
“Actually, it’s not entirely unreasonable for San Jose’s Yiheng to be dissatisfied!”
While the high-ranking officials were looking at David, waiting for him to explain, a voice suddenly made them turn their heads. Seeing that Donald was the one who spoke, they were taken aback.
It was well known that David was Donald’s man.
Why wasn’t he speaking up for him now, but instead speaking on behalf of Yiheng from San Jose?
Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Donald calmly said, “David mentioned it just now, USDT is a company from San Jose’s region, and now that the company has paid such a substantial amount in taxes, it was taken by the Los Angeles IRS. Tell me, wouldn’t anyone be a bit upset?”
“But Donald, David isn’t targeting just the individual company USDT; he’s tackling the whole cryptocurrency field. His San Jose region must consider the bigger picture and support it. How can he justify making things difficult for David?”
