Wall Street Legend

  Chapter 322 Prison Calamity

  With the presence of Joseph Hale, the number of people present expanded to seven, including Citigroup, Merrill Lynch, KKR, three hedge funds, and a trust investment company. The leader was a middle-aged white man from the KKR Group.

This company is one of the oldest private equity investment institutions in the world. It has a total of eleven senior partners. Its main business is acquisition and restructuring of enterprises. million dollars in investment assets.

Several partners of the KKR Group paid attention to Ye Dongqing's industry by mistake, and felt that their own strength was not enough, so they asked Merrill Lynch and several other relatively powerful hedge funds and trust fund companies to help. Hale was pulled over by an executive from Merrill Lynch. They needed some information and hoped that Citigroup would not provide more financial support to Ye Dongqing.

  Wall Street is composed of small circles, just like a pack of wolves hunting cooperatively on the grassland. It is difficult to gnaw hard bones alone, but it is different when someone helps.

Back then, Soros, the financial tycoon, recruited a group of people, successively captured the United Kingdom, Mexico, and Southeast Asian countries, and by the way, also harvested a wave from the bear cubs in the north. As the dollar expanded to the world, the scope of activities of these capital merchants also It is getting bigger and bigger, wherever it is profitable, they will appear there, and plunder wealth by buying low and selling high, or directly shorting.

  Washington has always turned a blind eye to this, even if there are violations, it doesn't matter, because it is in the interests of the United States, and the meat is rotten in its own pot.

They are relatively consistent externally, and the internal chaos is also fierce. The starting point is the word "interest". They can join forces to attack countries with financial and exchange rate problems, and they can also join forces to try to carve up Ye Dongqing. wealth.

  Honestly.

His low-key has no effect, or until he is targeted, it is effective, but recently because of his low-key, he is regarded as weak, he is too young, even if he may become a predator, he is still just a half-sized crocodile cub , They feel that they have discovered the weak belly of the Freshwater Investment Group, that is, the astonishingly high debt.

   What makes them even more happy is that Danshui Investment Group only gives investors interest, and other returns brought by investment have little to do with investors.

   It also means that even if they make a move, those investors will not rush to help if Ye Dongqing will not go bankrupt and lose the interests of investors. This leaves an opportunity...

   There is also a big difference between the super rich and the super rich.

Some people don’t have much money, corporate debt is extremely high, and their wealth is mainly concentrated in book wealth, while some super-rich people control an entire country and have a lot of resources, cash, national debt and other stable assets. Brunei’s royal family, the United Arab Emirates’ The royal family, the minds of certain dictatorships, etc., all belong to the latter case.

  As long as there is no war, the latter is relatively safe, but Ye Dongqing is different. More than 95% of his wealth is paper wealth, and he has extremely high debts.

The old Mr. Bernard Madoff has been working on Wall Street for so many years, and he has gradually figured out something. Ever since Ye Dongqing appeared to be targeted, the old man began to have trouble sleeping and eating. With a sum of money, he ran to Russia for a "vacation" in the name of inspecting the market, leaving his wife and children at home.

On June 2nd, when a heavyweight New York prosecutor came to the door with a search warrant, he naturally did not see old Bernard Madoff. He just sealed up his company and sent the employees, computers and , Paper materials were taken back for investigation, and Mark Madoff and his family were also taken away.

  Ye Dongqing received the news immediately.

Old Bernard Madoff personally called, and after telling the general story, his voice trembled slightly: "Leo, you can't leave me alone this time, I will definitely go to jail, and I have nothing left! My gang Investors will receive the news soon, and the shortfall will be exposed!

  God, this time someone wanted to target you, which caused me to be implicated... I know you are a good person with a sense of justice, you must give me a hand! You have also seen the cooperation during this period, and I have not done anything to apologize to you! "

Such a bad situation, but Ye Dongqing wanted to laugh when he heard the old man's words, thinking that he was indeed an old fox, and he could seize the opportunity to sneak to Russia, which has no extradition treaty with the United States. He admires it.

   Thought about the possibility of directing and acting on his own, but it was quickly rejected. The news of the Ponzi scheme was exposed, which was absolutely harmful to old Bernard. His reputation and status disappeared in an instant, and he even had to face prison.

Potential opponents are so poorly seen, this actually makes Ye Dongqing a little more at ease. Fortunately, he didn't invest all of it out, and fortunately he made some money recently. Judging from the current capital flow, even if there is a run, the consequences are mostly acceptable. , It is nothing more than disrupting the plan, and there is still a chance for a comeback, so that his vitality will not be seriously injured, and his core interests, which are those companies and shares, will not be touched.

   "I understand, sir, I am happy to help you. After all, helping you is also helping me, but you will only cause greater suspicion in Russia, so it is better to come back first.

Now I need you to call all investors, tell them to come to New York, and keep your mouth shut, including your son, wife, as long as it doesn't implicate me in the Ponzi scheme, I can Help you out of trouble, understand? "

Ye Dongqing calmly appeased the old Jew, the old Bernard can only count on Ye Dongqing now, after a long silence, he replied: "I will book the earliest flight back, we will not say, who will ask It's just a normal investment, absolutely nothing to do with you, I'll call them later, my phone is about to explode, one after another, my God..."

  When he learned that his investors were going to find him, old Bernard felt a little relieved, because it didn't seem like he would do anything if he was going to stay out of the matter, and he was completely panicked now.

It can be predicted that tomorrow's financial headlines will be quite exciting, so Ye Dongqing is planning to contact those people to control the situation within an acceptable range. The word "Ponzi scheme" is extremely lethal to investors, God knows In order to get the money back, what kind of words will they say to the media? If they make a big fuss, the people behind the scenes will only succeed. Well-informed investors have already called Ye Dongqing one after another, asking him what happened .

  Mr. McCord rushed over in a hurry, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he rushed into the office with a panicked tone: "Do you know what happened to Bernard Madoff!?"
