I was acting crazy in North America, and all the crazy people there took it seriously.

Chapter 144 The Most Contract-Savvy Swindler in History (Bonus Chapter for 1900 Monthly Tickets)

The one codenamed "President" was actually Derek Kennedy.

The conman, who was caught by the real Donald for swindling, has been freed after the Kennedy family sent people to compensate him and actively helped to establish an Irish mutual aid organization.

However, instead of returning to his family or leaving to continue his life of debauchery, he entered Arkham Academy, where he systematized and theorized his fraudulent experience and became a "mentor".

Because Logan said the Kennedy family could produce presidents, this guy wisely gave himself the code name "President," indicating that what Logan said was always true.

So this time, he decided to pull off a big heist, and he's starting to enjoy the benefits of having an organized group behind him.

Need intelligence on the target? The Irish gang has gathered all the details about Roy Omdes, Seattle’s biggest bootlegging dealer, provided by the local Irish community, including his shady “money ties” with the Seattle Police Department;
Need professional personnel? Arkham College is a veritable treasure trove of criminal talent.

As a “mentor,” he easily gathered all the students for this cohort at Arkham Academy, having all the necessary personnel.

If you need forged documents, there are experts skilled in forging documents; if you need force, there are skilled gunmen; if you need spies, there are people skilled in disguise and psychological manipulation...

Need supplies for operations? Whether it's weapons or modified official vehicles, the Irish gang can provide them quickly and in excellent quality.

Looking back on his past "freedom" of fighting alone, he felt a pang of bitterness for his own stupidity—he should have joined the organization long ago!

Look at us now, we have everything we need, the plans are meticulous, and the execution is smooth. This is the mindset for accomplishing great things!

He could almost see himself bidding farewell to "ten years of freedom where no one cared" and ushering in "one day he made a move and the world knew him!"

……

Seattle Police Department.

That day, the police chief finally "dealt with" the guy under Roy who was directly responsible for paying the police force's salaries. He breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to make a cup of coffee to calm his overly frightened nerves.

Then you hear your subordinates yelling at the top of their lungs, "Chief! Something's wrong! Something's wrong!" Their voices are filled with panic.

Startled, the police chief snapped angrily, "What's wrong? Is the sky falling down? How many times have I told you to be calm in any situation..."

Before he could finish his admonition, his subordinate had already shoved a copy of The Sun into his hand.

The police chief's eyes swept over the scene quickly, his face turned deathly pale, his legs trembled, and he rolled his eyes back and fainted, collapsing onto his office chair with a thud.

……

In fact, The Sun newspaper didn't contain any bloody or terrifying content; it simply introduced a new "hero of the storm."

【president】

Synopsis: "Some people cheat to make a living; but some people cheat to create legends. He turned a seemingly impossible scam into a breathtaking art."

Recent Achievements: Leading a team posing as FBI agents, they successfully mobilized Seattle police without firing a single shot, "lawfully arresting" the city's biggest bootlegging dealer and looting all his valuables. Incredibly, as of this publication, the Seattle Police Department seems unaware that it was a hoax. A Hero's Declaration: "If I have deceived you, do not grieve, do not be angry, believe me, I will continue to deceive you!"

The commentary states: "We have no way of knowing what kind of grand ambition he harbored in choosing 'President' as his codename. But whatever his ambition may be, he seems to possess the courage, strategy, and execution ability to match it!"

The following three pages use vivid, detailed, and highly evocative language to meticulously describe the legendary hoax orchestrated by the "president's" team in Seattle.

From how to use precise intelligence to lock onto targets, to how to forge documents; from how to put on a great performance in front of the police chief, to how to use the charge of "espionage" to intimidate the police into fully cooperating; and finally to how to calmly empty the vault and leave safely under the "escort" of the police.

The novel vividly portrays an arrogant conman who impersonates a Bureau of Investigation agent, directs real police officers, and robs a bootlegging kingpin!

The article concludes, "If the 'President's' feat had ended there, it would have been nothing more than another amazing case in the history of human fraud. Throughout history, there has never been a shortage of clever swindlers who could deceive the public with deception."

"What truly made him unique, and arguably redefined the 'ethics' of con artists, was his astonishing actions after successfully committing a scam—"

"The President told this newspaper that although he was impersonating the Bureau of Investigation, he is by no means an unreasonable person and he will not use it for free."

"Therefore, he is willing to pay half of the proceeds from this fraud to the investigation bureau as 'copyright usage fees' and 'damages for reputation'!"

"Moreover, he also demonstrated a peculiar sense of social responsibility by handing over evidence of the Seattle bootlegging king and his bribery to the Chicago police, stating that he had no right to judge anyone's crimes and that the matter should be handled by the statutory law enforcement agency."

"Therefore, this newspaper would like to call him the most contract-conscious swindler in history!"

This issue of The Sun, with its unique perspective and explosive content, once again refreshed the limits of American readers' understanding of the extent of a hero's charisma!

Meanwhile, Logan was on the phone with Hoover, boasting, "...He originally wanted to donate half of his earnings to the Prohibition Bureau and the FBI, but I persuaded him to donate it all to the FBI...Sigh, I've gone to great lengths to get sponsorships for the agency, even interfering with a hero's choice without any principles of fairness."

(Actually, no. He wanted to donate half of the funds to an Irish mutual aid organization, but Logan felt that would be too obvious and not "just" enough; moreover, the Irish mutual aid organization didn't need to attract too much attention at this stage.)
Hoover's lips twitched, completely ignoring Logan's boasting, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Our Bureau's reputation has been so tarnished, does he think he can get away with just a little money..."

“That’s five hundred thousand dollars! In cash!” Logan interrupted him immediately.

Five hundred thousand dollars! How much extra operating budget does that equate to for the Bureau of Investigation? How many informants could be developed? How many covert operations could be conducted without budget constraints?

Reputation? Does it really matter?

Besides, after the Chicago “sneak attack” farce, how much reputation does the Bureau of Investigation have left?

Logan was too embarrassed to say it, but the guy was using the FBI's name to give you face!
Hoover: "..."

He fell into a long silence.

Fuck, Seattle bootleggers are fucking rich!
