American Tax Officer-Chapter 631 - 318: Media Mogul Murdoch
Chapter 631: Chapter 318: Media Mogul Murdoch
“Get me a copy of the Wall Street Journal!” David said.
Although the headquarters in Washington D.C. mentioned that as long as he dealt with Amazon, he could join the headquarters, the changes in the power center of the Internal Revenue Service were not simple matters. Completing the formalities would take at least ten to eight days. He planned to use this time to resolve the troublesome public opinion first.
Otherwise, he didn’t care about continuing to let things run their course, but he feared that the top-level officials at the headquarters couldn’t withstand the pressure. By then, if they postponed his appointment or changed their minds, he would be utterly helpless.
…
At the same time, on the East Coast of New York at Senado Island, numerous helicopters and yachts had arrived. Members of Freemasonry successively disembarked and entered the mansion.
As a servant struck the clock on the second floor, the members of Freemasonry stopped their conversations and orderly ascended to the meeting room.
...
Once everyone had gathered, the doors closed and the atmosphere turned somewhat solemn.
A moment later, as Henrietta’s figure appeared in the corridor, all members stood up until he sat down and waved his hand, then everyone else took their seats.
“The Amazon Group has suffered a crushing defeat. What are all of you doing!?” Henrietta usually didn’t initiate conversation at Freemasonry meetings. He would listen to the members’ discourse and only express his stance when it was time to make a decision.
Now, without waiting for further discussion on this matter, he directly voiced his criticism—an indication of his true anger.

However, there was a reason for his anger.
Amazon, as a leading global e-commerce giant in the top ranks of the Fortune 500, was a core interest enterprise for their Freemasonry.
The turmoil caused by David had directly evaporated hundreds of billions in market value and incurred a hefty fine, causing significant losses to their group’s interests.
But that wasn’t the worst part.
Over the years, Freemasonry had reigned supremely in America, even overshadowing groups like the Ansa Group and nearly achieving unrivaled supremacy.
But now, they couldn’t protect entities like the Disney Family or the Sackler family; nor could they save cryptocurrency businesses like Ethereum USDT, which were heavily intertwined with them. The inability to protect a highly influential company like Amazon would make outsiders think what?
Now, many surely believed that Freemasonry’s strength was insufficient and that there might even be a risk of collapse.
For affiliates like Jeff Bezos, who lacked Jewish heritage but relied on them, this definitely triggered some doubts.
After all, why did he affiliate with Freemasonry and seek massive benefits for them?
It was supposed to be mutually beneficial!
Now, the Internal Revenue Service had targeted him, impacting everyone’s interests, yet Freemasonry did nothing. So why should he continue to associate with them?
Thus, the Amazon incident had directly shaken the foundation of Freemasonry, and its destructive power was even greater than previous incidents involving the Disney and Sackler families, which was why Henrietta was so furious and even took the initiative to convene a Freemasonry meeting today!
Listening to Henrietta’s furious criticism, everyone present, including members of The Seven Great Families, hung their heads low, feeling somewhat stifled inside.
They weren’t completely inactive; if they hadn’t exerted their influence at the last moment, the person sentenced might not have been Lakruwa’s underlings but Jeff himself.
As a four-time wealthiest man with significant influence, if he had been imprisoned, it would have resulted in a shock at least two to three times greater for them.
But in that situation, managing to protect Jeff was already quite commendable.
After all, the trial was broadcast nationwide, and everyone saw Amazon’s tax evasion and conclusive evidence of tax non-compliance. The most damning was the hidden tax, which directly ignited national outrage.
So no matter their capabilities, they absolutely couldn’t protect Amazon.
“How is it, are all of you deaf? Can anyone tell me what we should do next?” Henrietta voiced challenging questions again, scrutinizing the assembly of members with his gaze.
Finally, Joshua Morgan could no longer hold back and spoke up, “Mr. Henrietta, I believe that since the Amazon incident has already occurred, pursuing it further is pointless. What is pressing now is the rumor that David is being transferred to Washington D.C. Headquarters. Currently, he is just a regional director, and he is already so audacious. Just imagine, once he enters this power center, what will we face?”
It was already known that David had colluded with the Ansa Group, whose ambitions were clear—using David as a weapon against them.
Moreover, the Kennedy Family was also ‘whispering in David’s ear.’
This family and their Freemasonry harbored irreconcilable vendetta.
Therefore, once David truly entered the power center of the Internal Revenue Service, the consequences for Freemasonry could be dire.
Another concern was the power and resources David would wield if he entered the Internal Revenue Service’s power center, which were incomparable to his current position as a director. Once he targeted them, the potential devastation could be immeasurably greater.
