Taking the paper Luo An handed him, the table above was filled with various numbers.
Augustus was dizzy and didn't understand what the numbers in the table meant, so he asked directly:
"What's this?"
"A miracle of capitalist society."
Luo An took the paper back, took a few bites of the burger, and explained with a smile:
"This company, called SDAM, executed a stock transaction for a Wall Street company, worth $20 million.
The next day, SDAM miraculously sold the shares for $42 million. "
"Wow."
After hearing Luo An's explanation, Augustus' eyes widened instantly and he asked hurriedly:
"Have you found out who is behind the SDAM company?"
"No, SDAM company is just a leather company."
Luo An shook his head. He had studied accounting before, so he could quickly find this abnormal transaction among the many transactions that Brent Hughes had come into contact with.
Immediately afterwards, Luo An continued:
“Not only that, after the SDAM leather bag company, there is another leather bag company.
And the US$42 million first entered a bank in Houston, and then was quickly transferred to some offshore banks.
After spending a few seconds at the offshore bank, it was quickly transferred to..."
Before Luo An could say anything, Augustus replied with an ugly expression:
"Cayman Islands, right?"
"Yeah."
Luo An nodded.
The confidentiality of the Cayman Islands is very strong. For companies registered in the Cayman Islands, the information of directors and shareholders is not open to the public. A copy of the register of directors and shareholders is kept at the registry and will never be released.
As for taxes, there are no other taxes to pay except the license fee paid to the government in January every year.
As a result, the Cayman Islands has become the world's largest tax haven, and it is extremely difficult to find specific information about transactions there.
After all, in America, the last thing to offend is the rich.
"Then the search warrant is useless."
After receiving Luo An's affirmative reply, Augustus looked very unhappy:
"In other words, we are fighting against masters this time, right?"
Luo An nodded. The other party's operation seemed very skillful:
"The person who transferred the funds is not an ordinary expert."
After pondering for a few seconds, Augustus tilted his head and asked:
"So, do you still have any clues to continue the investigation?"
Augustus felt a little headache for a while when it came to such a high-capital crime.
"Of course!"
Hearing August's question, Luo An grinned and took out another piece of paper from the table nearby.
Augustus didn't answer, and directly waved his hand for Luo An to explain.
"On this piece of paper are the numbers that Brent Hughes has dialed and received on his mobile phone in the past few days."
Luo An glanced at the string of numbers on the paper and felt that Augustus might have misunderstood something, so he explained with a smile:
“One of the numbers was from the Securities and Exchange Commission.
I just called the other party and found out that the other party's identity is a lawyer named Wells.
And this Wells is at the Securities and Exchange Commission, where he is the head of the Enforcement Division. "
August's eyes suddenly lit up.
It is clear that what really happened in this case is that Brent Hughes discovered improper stock trading at SDAM and contacted the Securities and Exchange Commission.
As a result, the news leaked out from nowhere, causing Brent Hughes to be silenced.
Hearing Luo An's words, August's big black face suddenly showed a smile, nodded repeatedly and praised loudly:
“Well done Roan!
I knew that leaving this case to you was the right choice! "
Hearing this, Luo An grinned, stretched out his hand and took out a big hamburger from the box in front of Augustus.
——
The next day, morning.
In a building in the Wall Street area.
In the elevator, Lacey was silent for a while, tilted her head and asked:
"Luo An, I remember that the information showed that before you came to the FBI, you worked on Wall Street, right?"
"Yeah."
Luo An nodded.
Seeing this, Lacey became even more confused. She slowly moved closer to Luo An and asked in a low voice:
"Why would you, a top accounting graduate from the University of Massachusetts Boston, leave here and choose the FBI?"
With Luo An's conditions and decades of hard work on Wall Street, he would definitely be able to live an elite life that ordinary people would envy.
The FBI's monthly salary is not as high as the commission that some people on Wall Street receive after completing a stock transaction.
Hearing Mona's words, Luo An immediately rolled his eyes:
how could I know?
Roan Greenwood's memory, Roan has received seven, seven, eight and eight.
But the reason why Roan Greenwood chose to leave Wall Street and join the FBI was unclear no matter what he did.
All that can be seen clearly are the days when Roan Greenwood was training at the FBI academy, and the memories of him graduating with honors and finally being transferred to the FBI's New York branch.
After trying all kinds of methods to see that memory clearly, Luo An finally chose to put it aside temporarily.
Anyway, this memory has no impact on his current life, and there will always be a day when he will see this memory clearly.
However, Luo An also has some speculations about the content of this memory, but no evidence has been found yet.
Ding--
The elevator arrived at the destination. Luo An chose to ignore Lacey's expectant eyes waiting for him to answer the question, and walked into a small economic investment company.
As soon as they got to work this morning, Roan and Lacey went to the Securities and Exchange Commission to question Attorney Wells.
Then I learned the name of this small economic investment company from Lawyer Wells.
According to Wells' lawyer, Brent Hughes found out that it was an employee of this company who completed all operations of buying and selling stocks in SDAM.
The small economic investment company was buzzing with people, and there were shouts on the phone everywhere, excitement and exclamations that were completely synchronized with the rise and fall of the stock price on the computer.
Looking around, Luo An led Mona to a thin white young man, patted him on the shoulder and said expressionlessly:
“F.B.I.
Hello Kermit, we have some questions for you. "
Seeing the golden badge that Luo An displayed in front of him, Kermit's face, which was flushed due to the rising stock price, instantly turned a little pale.
In the break room of the Small Economic Investment Company, Luo An poured himself and Lacey a cup of coffee very familiarly, then handed Kermit a piece of paper from his pocket and asked with a smile:
“Kermit, it seems that you already know the reason why we came to you, so I won’t waste any more nonsense.
Tell me, what’s going on with this 20 million deal? "
"this……"
Holding the data in the paper in his hand, Kermit thought for a moment, and finally exhaled with an ugly face, looked up at Luo An, and explained:
“I swear, I really don’t know.
The entire transaction process was conducted using bank accounts and phone calls. "
Lacey on the side frowned when she heard this:
"Then who did you call?"
"I have no idea."
Kermit shook his head repeatedly:
"All I knew was that there was a woman on the other end of the phone."
