American tax officials

Chapter 7 Native American Tribes

As for the other inspectors, the two could simply dismiss them with a "none of your business."

But Lewis was their boss, so they naturally had to give him what needed to be said; offending one's boss was not a wise thing to do.

Nissen organized his thoughts briefly before speaking, "Chief Tax Officer Lewis, this tax certainly wasn't collected from those black people; it was collected from the group of robbers who looted the casino's cash transport truck not long ago."

Upon hearing this, Lewis's eyes widened suddenly, and the muscles on his face twitched as if he had been struck by an invisible force.

A full minute or so passed.

He suddenly came to his senses and asked in shock, "You mean, this illicit tax, you two got it from the robbers who robbed the cash transport truck at the Encar Casino?"

"Yes!"

Upon receiving confirmation once again, Lewis's lips twitched once more.

He had certainly heard about the robbery of the cash transport truck at the Encar casino, and had even considered starting an investigation, but ultimately gave up on the idea.

Why?

the reason is simple!

The local police department has investigated this case, and even the FBI sent agents, but they haven't been able to find any clues.

It's not that the IRS's investigative methods are inferior to those of the police and the FBI.

Quite the opposite.

Their IRS is so powerful not only because of armed tax collection, but also because their auditing methods are top-notch.

Lewis just thought so.

This robbery is a bit tricky. Even if the IRS wants to investigate, it won't be something they can figure out in a short time.

The Washington headquarters has now issued targets for collecting illegal taxes to all its regional offices across the country.

Those who can complete the task within the stipulated time will naturally receive a raise and a promotion.

Those who fail to complete the task will be subject to certain penalties.

Therefore, he felt that instead of spending a lot of time and energy investigating this robbery, it would be better to investigate something that was readily available and easy to do.

Take, for example, the case of Black people buying things for free.

This may result in a smaller amount of tax collected, but it is faster and simpler.

Those black guys aren't very educated. Just arrest them, interrogate them briefly, teach them a lesson, and they'll obediently hand over their taxes.

But Lewis never dreamed of this.

This seemingly tricky case was solved by Nissen and David, who also cleanly and efficiently recovered $39.6 in black taxes.

Happiness came so suddenly!

Composing himself, Lewis asked with a hint of curiosity, "Who are these robbers?"

"It's an inside job, Anthony from their vault, and a few accomplices!"

"He really was the mole!"

Lewis suddenly realized something, then quickly remembered something else and asked, "But since this mole was able to get through the police and FBI investigations, he must have some skills. How did you guys find out?"

It can pass the investigations of the police and the FBI.

This mole's intelligence and mental fortitude are definitely not those of an ordinary person.

The fact that these two could get these guys to obediently hand over their taxes proved that they must have them under their control, which made Lewis even more curious.

This time, Nissen didn't answer, but instead looked at David.

"Chief Tax Commissioner Lewis, it's a long story, but I doubt you'd want to know the details!"

David's tone surprised Nissen, who was standing next to him.

However, David knew Lewis well; he knew that the tax chief was a smart man and would understand the point after hearing his words.

really.

After hearing this answer, Lewis did not rush to ask any more questions, but looked at David with a slightly meaningful gaze.

He also started as an inspector.

It is well known that sometimes tax inspectors will resort to extreme or even outrageous methods in order to collect taxes.

Of course, he didn't care about any of that.

After all, what's being targeted now isn't just any ordinary law-abiding citizen.

Now they're targeting the criminals.

Do these guys have human rights?

Of course!

The prerequisite is that you have to honestly pay your taxes!

Then our tax authorities would not only smile at you, they would treat you like their own father!

Not paying?

Well, I'm sorry to say, but to put it dramatically, even if I took off your arms and legs, would you still dare to go to the police station to plead your case?

But then again.

Although the IRS is all-powerful, the American media is not to be underestimated.

If this matter were to come to light and become a scandal, it would have an impact on the IRS and even on his superior, the tax chief.

So, as David said, he doesn't need to know too many details about this matter.

In this case.

If anything unexpected happens, he can at least distance himself from the situation to the greatest extent possible!

David really knows how to think of his boss!

Moreover, judging from Nissen's tone, David was the "main force" behind securing this illicit tax payment.

Not bad!

Lewis immediately developed a much better impression of the inspector under his command.

"You handled this case very well!"

"However, I asked you to investigate the case of Black people buying things for free. This is a one-time exception, understand?"

The two of them understood Lewis's words perfectly; he was telling them that they could no longer act on their own!

Nissen nodded in understanding, his lips twitching before he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Chief Tax Officer Lewis, the success of this case has given me a lot of confidence. I would like to request an investigation into Dieter's case!"

Upon hearing the name Dieter, David's expression froze instantly, while Lewis's pupils contracted sharply.

Dieter, whose full name is Dieter Omaha.

He is an Indian who now runs more than a dozen bars, nightclubs, and other entertainment venues in the Lake District.

Bars are a legitimate business.

However, his business also dealt in various prohibited items such as flour and "fairy water".

After the Black Tax Act was passed.

Their IRS Lake District branch conducted a survey.

The combined illicit income from all of Dieter's venues amounts to at least $300 million a month.

Therefore, Dieter is a target that their Lake District branch really wants to take down.

However, there is one tricky point.

This Dieter is from the Omaha family, which is the largest Native American tribe in Las Vegas.

His uncle, Gar Omaha, was the chief of the tribe.

In the United States, Native Americans are a very special group.

They may not be as powerful as the Jews, but in terms of the privileges granted to them by the federal constitution, they far exceed those of any other ethnic group.

They can enjoy tax breaks, priority operating rights in casinos, and even reserves, where they have almost absolute power.

With these advantages, Chief Gar Omaha was all-powerful in Las Vegas, and even the mayor and council members treated him like a brother.

So although the IRS Lake District branch really wanted to take down Dieter, they were very cautious for the time being due to the power of the Native American tribe.
