American tax officials

Chapter 296 200 Billion Received

"Chief, judging from the way those Illuminati members are acting, they don't seem like they'll let this go easily."

Back in a lounge on the aircraft carrier, Bucky spoke with a hint of worry.

"They're definitely not going to be happy about being 'extorted' like this by us, but now that we know who they are, we don't need to be too afraid of them!"

To be honest, he was still somewhat wary of the Illuminati before.

Because this organization is too mysterious, and mysterious things often inspire awe.

But now that he's come to the island, seen who their members are, and figured them out, David isn't so afraid of them anymore.

If these people obediently admit it, that's fine. But if they dare to do anything bad, he'll let them know why the flowers are so red!

"It's a rare day like this, so don't overthink it. Just relax for a couple of days."

……

While Washington was on its way back, things were in an uproar in Los Angeles.

The reason is simple: David has not shown his face for several days, which has led to a lot of gossip and rumors. Some say that David was killed while investigating Satoshi Nakamoto, while others say that he was injured. In short, there are many different opinions, but no conclusion has been reached.

Meanwhile, no matter how much the media tried to find out, the higher-ups at the Los Angeles IRS remained tight-lipped, which only fueled the public's speculation.

On July 2, as the USS Washington entered the Port of Los Angeles, David and his entourage bid farewell to Linden and other naval officers and men, and then returned by vehicle towards the city police department.

Los Angeles IRS.

A large number of media outlets arrived early today to keep watch, hoping to see if there was any progress in the investigation of David's "disappearance".

Just then, David and his group arrived at the door in their Chevrolet. When the four of them got out of the car, the scene erupted in chaos.

"Chief David, it's Chief David! He's finally shown up!"

"The claim that Chief David was murdered or injured during the investigation has now been confirmed as a complete and utter rumor!"

"You're crazy! Chief David is the face of the IRS now. Anyone who dares to touch him is asking for trouble!"

In short, many people breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing David appear unharmed.

Upon learning of David's return, a group of high-ranking officials from the bureau immediately came to find him and inquire about the progress of the matter. He did not hide anything and told everyone that the trip had gone smoothly. As long as the data on Satoshi Nakamoto was compiled and sent to the Illuminati, the tax payment should be received smoothly.

Upon hearing this, the senior executives were naturally delighted and immediately gathered their respective departments to quickly compile the statistics.

Around noon, Kepper brought him a set of data.

Based on the more than 110 million Bitcoins held by Satoshi Nakamoto, he would need to pay $123.6 billion in capital gains tax to the IRS. Adding the tax amount allegedly levied on illegal Bitcoin transactions, the total would be $201.6 billion.

200 billion seems like an astronomical tax amount, but considering that Bitcoin's current market value is close to one trillion, this 200 billion is nothing in comparison.

Of course, the 200 billion they've collected so far is just an appetizer, because Bitcoin has already been included in the IRS's tax system, and they'll have to pay them a tax every month from now on—that's the real money!

David picked up his phone, dialed Augustine's number, and said, "Archbishop Augustine, we've already calculated it. The amount of tax you need to pay us is 201.6 billion US dollars."

"201.6 billion? Are you kidding me? Even if you calculate it based on the amount of Bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto owns, it's impossible to need to pay that much, right?"

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you, Satoshi Nakamoto needs to pay 123.6 billion in taxes. As for the extra part, it's the tax we collected from illegal transactions using your Bitcoin."

"What are you talking about? Taxes generated by illegal Bitcoin transactions? Then go collect them from them, why are you collecting from us?"

"This is the platform you created, and it seems you've also collected a lot of regulatory fees from it. I can only ask you for that money; you can ask these people for it later."

First of all, Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, and they can only find some general transaction data here, but they don't have much detailed information about who the transacting parties are.

Secondly, with so many people using Bitcoin around the world, he can't possibly go to each and every one of them to collect it, can he?

So the best outcome would be to collect the money from the controllers of Bitcoin. How they communicate with those criminals is their business.

I'm sure the Illuminati have their own solutions.

On the Vatican side, Augustine was furious. Being forced by David to hand over a portion of his interests related to Satoshi Nakamoto already made him feel like he had eaten shit.

And now, they're even trying to hold those criminals accountable! This is outrageous!

Just as Augustine was about to lash out, Sandy grabbed his arm, took the phone, and replied, "Okay, we'll transfer the money to your IRS account before 3 p.m. this afternoon."

"Archbishop Sandy, I am very grateful for this..."

After ending the call, Augustine immediately glared at Sandy and demanded, "Sandy, why did you agree to his outrageous request?"

"The situation is not good for us now. If we are not patient, we will ruin our big plans. Let's agree to his request for now."

Augustine was silent for a moment, then seemed to remember something and asked, "Haven't you heard from Edgar yet?"

"I just spoke to him on the phone today. He said the Freemasons seem to be busy with something, and we can't get a chance to meet for the time being."

"Damn it..."

……

At 3 p.m., Huo Ya, who was in charge of the warehousing department, knocked on the door and walked in, saying with a look of ecstatic joy, "Director, the funds of 201.6 billion have arrived."

"very good."

David picked up the phone on the table and instructed, "Arrange a press conference for me in half an hour. Oh, and by the way, have a reporter ask questions later..."

The reason for holding this press conference is to tell the regulators of cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and USDT that I've even taken care of Satoshi Nakamoto. If you know what's good for you, you'd better pay your taxes yourself, or I'll have to come knocking on your door!

Soon after, all the media outlets were excited when they received the notification that David was going to hold a press conference.

Because they had already guessed that something big was going to be announced.

David is currently investigating Satoshi Nakamoto, which means that this press conference is very likely related to that matter.

Could it be that... Satoshi Nakamoto has really been unearthed?

Filled with curiosity, the media quickly arrived at the lobby of the Los Angeles IRS, set up their cameras, and prepared for the upcoming press conference.

Amidst the attention of the crowd, David appeared, surrounded by a throng of people. He stepped into the spotlight, gestured for everyone to quiet down, and then spoke: "Good morning, friends from the media. I know that since our Los Angeles IRS announced its investigation into Satoshi Nakamoto, there has been a great deal of attention on this matter. But today I can announce that this case is now closed."

After those words were spoken, the minds of the media present went completely blank.

Is the case closed?

According to David, does this mean that Satoshi Nakamoto has really been unearthed?

Did David really find the founder of what is claimed to be the world's most mysterious and largest cryptocurrency and collect "protection money" from him?

"My goodness, this is unbelievable!"

"They claimed to be even harder to find than Bin Laden, and Chief David actually found him?"

"Wait... what I really want to know right now is, who exactly is Satoshi Nakamoto?"

"Yeah, who exactly is Satoshi Nakamoto? Chief David, just tell us already, it's driving me crazy!"

The people watching this scene through the live broadcast were also in disbelief, but they quickly turned their attention to Satoshi Nakamoto's identity.

At this point, the media present also came to their senses, and one reporter preemptively asked, "Director David, who exactly is this so-called Satoshi Nakamoto?"

David smiled slightly and replied, "I believe everyone knows that the IRS has confidentiality clauses. Since Satoshi Nakamoto is willing to pay taxes to the IRS, we have a responsibility to keep his identity confidential, so I'm sorry..."

Upon hearing this, both the media and the public watching were instantly disappointed.

It feels like a beautiful, delicate woman is standing in front of you, but you suddenly become impotent; you're itching to have sex but feel helpless.

"Director David, is Satoshi Nakamoto really representing a certain organization, as rumored?"

"I'm sorry, but as I said before, this involves a confidentiality clause, so I can't comment."

"..."

In the following time, the reporters on site were still persistent, trying to get some information by subtly probing, but no matter what they asked, David remained tight-lipped.

Finally, the reporter, having exhausted all other options, changed the subject and asked, "Director David, how much tax did you receive from Satoshi Nakamoto?"

"The total amount is 201.6 billion, which has already been deposited into our State Taxation Administration's tax treasury."

There's nothing to hide about this issue.

"Oh my god, over 200 billion, that's another huge sum of money..."

"If only this money could be used in areas like education and healthcare, but unfortunately it has to be used on that damn aid bill."

"Protesting the W aid bill..."

Upon hearing that another 200 billion had been brought in, some people were initially happy. However, when they thought about how this money would be used for the damned war, they couldn't help but curse.

Of course, as the saying goes, for every person who is happy, there is someone who is sad.

At this moment, the five major military-industrial complexes led by Lockheed, as well as the Onsa Group, were overjoyed upon hearing about the sum of money.

The initial amount of the aid bill was $1000 billion, and with the $200 billion going into the Canada Revenue Agency's coffers, which already had over $500 billion lying around, that's over $700 billion.

They're getting closer and closer to receiving the money!

"Director David, Bitcoin's success stems from its intention to be free from regulation by any official or private institution. Now that you've identified Satoshi Nakamoto, will this have any impact on the currency?"

At the press conference, a reporter raised this question.

Bitcoin's popularity is currently comparable to that of real estate speculation, stock speculation, and gold speculation.

If this currency were to collapse, it could, at best, bankrupt countless people, and at worst, cause economic turmoil in the country.

The others at the scene, as well as many people online, realized the seriousness of the issue and held their breath, wanting to hear David's response.

In fact, the reporter and the question he raised were arranged by David beforehand.

As the reporter said, Bitcoin was intended to be unregulated, but now their IRS is clearly showing a trend towards regulation.

Therefore, he must make some promises and guarantees to maintain market confidence in the currency.

Otherwise, if this currency collapses, the IRS will naturally not be able to collect this tax anymore.

"That's a good question, but I want to clarify one point: we only reached an agreement with Satoshi Nakamoto, it doesn't mean we're going to regulate this currency."

"As is well known, after the Black Tax Act was enacted, we respected the freedom of anyone—thieves, swindlers, drug dealers—as long as they paid our taxes, and we would never overstep our bounds. The same applies to this currency now."

"You can rest assured that we will absolutely not interfere in any matters concerning Bitcoin or make any changes!"

It must be said that David's assurances calmed the panicked crowd considerably.

Since the Black Tax Act was enacted, no matter what illegal activities someone has engaged in, as long as they have paid taxes to the IRS, there has never been a case where their identity has been exposed due to the IRS's actions.

This shows that the IRS's credibility is still guaranteed.

Now that Satoshi Nakamoto has paid taxes to the IRS, and the IRS has made a guarantee in front of the world, it is certain that they will not interfere with this currency.

Seeing that he had stabilized market confidence in Bitcoin, David continued, "As everyone has seen, Bitcoin has set a good example for cryptocurrencies. I hope that in the future, USDT, Ethereum, and all these other cryptocurrencies will also voluntarily file a tax return with the Los Angeles IRS."

"If you come voluntarily and there are indeed tax issues, I can give you a 3% tax reduction. If you have tax issues but don't file a tax return, I will investigate, but then it won't be a reduction; it will be a penalty!"

The IRS commissioner of each region has the authority to adjust tax rates, and as the head of the Los Angeles IRS, he naturally has the power to reduce or exempt taxes for taxpayers.
