"Of course, isn't this normal?" Louis Alsop shrugged, "American rich people pay very little tax, if a few hundred dollars is considered tax."

"How could that happen!?" Sean couldn't understand it at all.

"In the IRS database, you have no money, and you still owe more than a billion dollars in loans."

Sean:o_O||

"It's not me..." Sean didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Your accountant may not have explained it clearly to you. You actually have no money, it's all arrears." Louis Alsop said expressionlessly.

"For example, for your airplane, the down payment is a bank loan, and the remaining balance is still a bank loan. There is no difference except that the bank is different."

"The island you purchased, your car, and your property were all purchased with a loan. In IRS records, your salary is based on New Jersey's legal minimum income standards."

Sean almost spit out all his coffee.

"This is normal, because taxes are payable on wages, so these rich people in the United States hardly give any salary. Your living expenses are completely covered by loans. After all, loans are neither salary income nor asset income. They are

It's negative, so there's no tax to pay, you just have to pay some interest, which is nothing compared to the tax."

"Using your airplane as an example, if you purchased it with personal funds, you would have to pay at least 30 million in tax."

Sean rubbed his head with a headache. He had a headache hearing about complicated tax avoidance methods. He only remembered one thing: he had no money...

No money!

Although in terms of assets, he is no longer a loser, but a super rich man worth more than one billion, but if something happens to the company, he will be completely bankrupt.

This is the disadvantage of tax avoidance.

This topic was quickly skipped, and Sean explained the reason for his visit.

He didn't mention reselling missiles. He just said that he was working as a middleman abroad, buying and reselling, and was about to make a lot of money, billions of dollars.

The IRS never cares where your money comes from, whether it's drug trafficking or robbery, it doesn't matter.

They only care if you pay taxes!

So, Louis Alsop asked, "So, what do you mean?"

"This money may cause some trouble." Sean gestured, trying to adjust his words, "Well, of course, it's not illegal. Well, it's not legal either. At most, it's not in compliance with the regulations."

"No, you are wrong about one thing. As long as you pay taxes on this money, it is legal!" Louis Alsop looked at Sean and said lightly: "You pay taxes on a billion dollars, then

, this billion US dollars is legal, no one or any institution can say there is anything wrong with the money after paying taxes, it is legal income."

"The court can say that your behavior is illegal, but the money is absolutely legal!"

Awesome!

Sean gave a thumbs up, that’s awesome!

This is the power of the IRS in the United States. Even if you are the Pentagon, even if you are the president, if they say your taxes will be checked, they will check your taxes!

Sean understood what Louis Alsop meant.

Suppose you make 1 million from drug addiction. As long as you pay taxes on this money, the court will only say that your drug abuse behavior is illegal when trying you, and you can be tried for your crime. However,

The money you have left after paying taxes is legal.

The money is still in your account.

U.S. law stipulates that fees and costs related to criminal acts can be deducted from the calculation of the tax payable. As long as you can produce the relevant receipts, the tax bureau will recognize the account.

Courts have publicly declared that tax laws are designed to tax people's net income, not to punish them for illegal behavior.

U.S. legislation stipulates that the IRS has the right not to disclose any information about taxpayers to the Immigration Service and the FBI unless it involves terrorism.

Even if it is terrorism, other law enforcement agencies must first obtain a court order before the IRS will cooperate with relevant legal actions and allow other law enforcement agencies to view the tax returns of specific individuals.

The United States even has tax stamps specifically provided to drug dealers that can be purchased anonymously.

In this case, the IRS only collects taxes. As long as it pays taxes on the US$5.5 billion, the money can enter the United States, enter banks, and begin to circulate.

Other institutions or individuals have no right to know how the money came from. Even if you actually know it, you cannot provide evidence to prove that what you know is correct.

Of course, the behavior itself is not illegal.

The rest just needs to be approved by the military!

Louis Alsop was thanked by Sean, but Sean did not dare to ask for money.

Of course, if there aren't too many people staring at Louis Alsop, he won't dare to stop them.

All said and done, old David will find a way to thank Louis Alsop.

…

After Sean returned from New York, he went to see Major General Leighton Stevens.

After hearing what Sean said, Layton Steven was shocked and completely speechless.

"No, I don't understand. After Congress rejected Saudi Arabia's purchase intention, how could you think of going to China? It's so poor and backward!" Leighton Steven was very concerned about the depth of Sean's brain sulci.

interest.

"American Lenovo!" Sean shrugged and spread his hands, feeling complacent.

"It's incomprehensible. It's like going to a group of primitive people to buy a computer." Leighton Steven kept shaking his head.

"Making money is actually very simple." Sean reached out and tapped his temple.

"Okay, okay, so, what's the problem you have now?" Leighton Steven asked.

"I need the military's recognition of my resale of missiles this time to deal with those idiots who are jealous of the huge profits I've made!" Sean gritted his teeth.

"Who is jealous?" Leighton Steven asked subconsciously.

A lot of names of well-known arms companies came out of Sean's mouth, and Layton Steven's mouth opened wider and wider.

"How much money did you make?" Layton Steven asked with a frown. He was curious about how much profit could make these big companies jealous.

"Ahem, it's not much." After a slight cough, Sean whispered: "It's only more than 5 billion, that's all."

The air in the room seemed to have stopped flowing. Old man Leiden froze in place, his expression changed from curiosity to shock, and from jealousy to anger. The last thing he saw was his eyes were blood red. He looked... particularly scary.

"Calm down, calm down, don't be like this, okay, I'm bragging, the IRS is going to take away a huge sum, but in fact it's only more than 3 billion." Sean quickly comforted the old man Layton. The old man's blood filled eyes now made the old man afraid.

He died of cerebral congestion on the spot.

It doesn't matter whether he dies or not, but it's not good if he delays his own affairs.

"I feel like I should contact those companies and grab all the fucking money. Damn it, why is there so much?"

"You can't imagine how low China's cost is. They only ask for 11 million US dollars a piece."

"Damn, this is destroying the market. These hateful, evil guys should all die!" Old Man Leiden cursed.

After finally appeasing Old Man Layton, the old man calmed down and thought about it from the perspective of the military and asked.

"From the military's point of view, your behavior will cause a security crisis for the military's military bases, facilities and operations in the Middle East. You are endangering national security and are traitors. The military has every reason to send you to prison.

Court-martial.”

"No way!" Sean's eyes almost popped out.

"Of course!" Old Man Layton snorted and said something that made Sean a little confused, "The 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis!"

"Missile crisis?" Sean frowned and spread his hands.

Layton rolled his eyes, okay, you were still peeing in mud at that time.

There were only 13 days after the Cuban Missile Crisis. During this period, both the Soviet Union and the United States were hovering near the nuclear button. As long as the situation slipped slightly, an unprecedented nuclear bomb war would be staged, and mankind would be on the verge of destruction!

So far, this crisis has almost led to a thermonuclear war, and it is still considered the most dangerous moment for human existence. President Radi and Secretary Husband highly agree on this view.

On April 15, 1961, under the planning of the United States, Cuban exiles flew B-26 bombers to bomb Cuba for two days. Immediately, Cuba and the Soviet Union resumed diplomacy, and Huff decided to embrace Castro.

In response to the United States' deployment of medium-range ballistic missiles Thor and Jupiter missiles in Italy and Turkey, Huff seized the opportunity and decided to secretly transport dozens of missiles and dozens of aircraft to Cuba, including 3,500 military technicians.

.

Each missile carries a nuclear warhead 20 or 30 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

In August 1962, the United States discovered a Soviet missile launch site in Cuba.

On October 14, experts took a large number of photos taken by reconnaissance aircraft and identified the strong permanent base used by medium and long-range ballistic missiles with a range of 2,000 miles.

On the 15th, it was confirmed that the launcher was equipped with a missile nuclear weapon.

On the 16th, Ledi received a report from the military.

At 7 o'clock in the evening on October 22, Ledi gave a radio speech to the world, announcing an armed blockade of Cuba.

On Tuesday, the 23rd, the Soviet Union issued a statement that it would continue to provide arms assistance to Cuba and would launch the fiercest response to the U.S. threat.

On the 24th, the largest fleet of 90 warships, escorted by 68 air force squadrons and 8 aircraft carriers, was dispatched to blockade the waters of Cuba. At the same time, the largest landing force since World War II was preparing to join the war, and US military bases around the world were also

Entering an alert state, all US missile forces have entered a state of combat readiness, and missiles are on the launch pad ready to be launched at any time.

On the 25th, Soviet ships went to test the blockade.

On the 26th, the two sides began negotiations on the Cuban missile issue and the Turkish-Italian missile issue.
