Chapter 215: Sentencing You to Ten Thousand Years_3
"Ah..."
The already panicked members of the Latin Gang shivered one by one after hearing this.
According to the punishment standards of the Rodrigozki Group, the least sentence would be a thousand years of imprisonment. Who the hell could endure such a sentence?
"Boss, don't hesitate anymore, let's hurry up."
"Yeah, boss, David provoking the Rodrigozki Group is definitely a case of killing the chicken to scare the monkey for us to see, but there's no guarantee that he won't kill another one. We can't let him catch and mess with us."
"..."
Seeing his core members nearly peeing themselves with fear, Joey was enraged, but after hesitating for a long time, he still didn't agree.
Because he knew the tax rate of the IRS, which was as high as nearly 40 percent.
The money he worked so hard to earn every month, through fighting and killing, nearly half would be easily taken away by the IRS. How could this be bearable?
But if taxes weren't paid, the example of the Rodrigozki was right there, so he was now in a state of great inner conflict.
At this moment, a tall and thin man who looked somewhat scholarly narrowed his eyes, then turned his head towards him and said, "Joey, under the current circumstances, taxes definitely need to be paid, but there are so many criminal gangs and organizations in the Western Suburb, the IRS won't possibly be able to audit them all, we just have to..."
Towards the end, his voice grew lower and lower.
After listening, Joey's expression changed, and after thinking it over carefully, he said fiercely, "Fine, let's do as you say, but be extra careful not to expose any flaws or handles."
Besides the Latin Gang, all criminal gangs and organizations in the Western Suburb were discussing the event at this time.
But no matter how they discussed it, the overall thinking of the gangs was the same: the example of Rodrigozki was there, and not paying taxes was definitely not an option.
However, as to how much to pay, some gangs gradually began to harbor devious thoughts.
Western Suburb Branch.
"Chief, the news has been released, and I think with the example of Rodrigozki there, no one should dare confront us now."
Inside the office, Bucky reported.
David nodded and said, "Then in the next few days, our branch will see a large amount of tax revenue. You guys follow up and hang more of the tax achievements onto your own accounts."
When David was the Chief Tax Officer and Inspector, the ranking of tax achievements on the board was particularly important to him.
But now that he had risen to the position of Chief of the Western Suburb Branch and became the spokesperson for the IRS's black tax law, he was regarded as a key figure to be cultivated and therefore no longer needed the boost from the tax achievement ranking.
The reason he told Nisen Bakesimmons and the others to hang more tax achievements onto their own accounts was also to promote them more quickly.
Nisen Bakesimmons and the others were stunned at first, but they quickly understood David's intentions and unanimously agreed, their faces alight with joy.
"Call Keanu, Lewis over for me."
About seven or eight minutes later, there was a knock on the office door, then Keanu and Lewis pushed the door open and asked in unison, "Chief, did you summon me?"
"The Rodrigozki matter has been settled. During the five-day period that follows, numerous criminal organizations and gangs within our jurisdiction will flock to our branch to pay their taxes. As management, you must lead them to closely manage the collection," David instructed.
The purpose of killing the chicken to scare the monkey had been achieved. So, now David wanted to concentrate on the tax audit operation in Hollywood, leaving the rest for people like Keanu Lewis to arrange.
"Understood."
Indeed, over the next three days, a continuous stream of criminal groups, organizations, and individuals came to the Western Suburbs Branch to pay their taxes.
Of course, even though three days had passed, the outside world was still hotly discussing the ten-thousand-year sentence and how exactly David managed to bring Rodrigozki back from Bear Country.
After much probing and research, many reporters and experts finally came to a more unbelievable yet seemingly reasonable analysis.
That is, Rodrigozki was caught by the official authorities of Bear Country and then handed over to the Western Suburbs Branch.
Once this analysis came out, the whole network exploded. It was already puzzling enough that David could catch Rodrigozki in Bear Country; now it turned out that he was caught and handed over by the authorities there?
How was this achieved?
Everybody wanted to know the secrets behind it, but unfortunately, no matter how the media probed into the Western Suburbs Branch, they didn't get a definitive answer.
Around noon, shortly after David had enjoyed his lunch and returned to the office, there was a knock on the door. He called out, "Come in."
Keanu entered, placed a file in front of David, and said, "Chief, this is the data and financial details that our branch has recorded over the past three days."
David picked it up and looked closely. In those three days, the Western Suburbs Branch had dealt with 26 criminal gangs, hundreds of individual operators, totaling 96.33 million US dollars in taxes.
After pondering for a moment, he looked up at Keanu and asked, "Have you verified the financial scale and background of these 26 gangs and these individuals?"
"We definitely checked, but... I can't say for certain it's accurate," Keanu hesitated before finally speaking the truth.
David paused, and after a moment, he said, "Alright, summon the leaders of the 26 criminal gangs here, I will personally review them."
