Chapter 3600: Bankruptcy of the U.S. Government
[Monster] Chapter 3600 The Bankruptcy of the U.S. Government [Text Version] Chapter 3600 The Bankruptcy of the U.S. Government
There was a burst of surprise in the courtroom. No one expected that Ivanka would appear in court as Lin Feng’s girlfriend. Isn’t this Lin Feng’s girlfriend Avril, Jessica and the others? How did it become Ivanka? Or is it that Ivanka has also become Lin Feng’s girlfriend?
The courtroom was buzzing with discussion.
"Quiet!" The judge banged his gavel.
"Your Honor, I protest on behalf of my client, the U.S. government, regarding the sudden change of plaintiff. I think there is a problem with the identity of Ivanka's first plaintiff." The defense lawyer protested loudly. The defense lawyer standing next to Bush is also a well-known prosecutor in the American judicial circle. Of course, he is also Ron's old opponent. He has been defeated and defeated repeatedly and his fighting spirit is high.
"Your Honor, the relationship between Miss Ivanka and Lin Feng is a matter between the two of them, not to mention how to define the relationship between lovers? Is it necessary to apply for a love certificate from the court? As long as Miss Trump and Mr. Lin If they don't object to each other's relationship, then they can be confirmed as lovers." Ron immediately countered without mercy.
"Defense lawyer, regarding the relationship between the two, since Ms. Trump has already stood here and confirmed their relationship, don't dwell on it anymore. This lawsuit affects the entire United States. In order to avoid wasting taxes, People’s money, so please don’t prolong the lawsuit innocently,” the judge ruled.
This lawsuit seems to be huge, but in fact it is not that big a lawsuit. It was nothing more than the matter of Lin Feng being deprived of his visa without reason. This matter was usually a small case and could be decided in one day. Sometimes, there is no need for a jury, just a judge. It was only this time that Lin Feng sued the U.S. government that this small lawsuit became big, and that a small case that could have been solved by one judge had to be arranged to have 13 juries sitting here. However, in line with the principle of not wasting California taxpayers' money, the judge hopes that the trial will be completed as quickly as possible.
Defense lawyer Isko snorted coldly and said no more.
"Your Honor, this is proof of the tax paid by my client, Mr. Lin, in the past four years in California, totaling US$720 million. There are also handwritten statements from a total of 127 tax collectors in California proving that my client, Mr. Lin, has actively paid taxes. "All this proves that my client established a company in California and actively paid taxes, and made a certain contribution to the development of California." Ron paused slightly, allowing the jury to absorb this information, and then continued.
"Here is the information about my client from all police stations in California. In all police stations in California, my client's information is clean and clear. He has always cooperated with the police and has not committed any violations. . Not even speeding." Ron produced another pile of evidence.
Isco frowned. Continue like this. Jury trials are shit. Just declare Lin Feng not guilty.
“Your Honor, in view of the fact that my client’s decision to terminate Lin Feng’s visa was based on consideration of the harm he might cause to the U.S. government. Among the many terrorist attacks in the United States, many terrorists have Before the attack, they were all good people. According to our investigation, the greater the ability and economic strength of the "pseudo-terrorists", the greater the threat. Therefore, my party made such a decision. "Isco protested.
Ron could have interrupted Isco. But he didn't do that. Instead, he smiled and watched Isco finish everything. Out of respect for the U.S. government and considering the high stakes of this matter, the judge did not interrupt the defense lawyer.
"Your Honor, here I think I would like to elaborate on the legal spirit of our United States in response to the defense lawyer's suggestion that my client, Mr. Lin, may commit acts that endanger the U.S. government and that Lin Feng is prohibited from entering the country." Ron He stood up with a smile and said, "I believe that the jury should know very well what the foundation of our United States is! That is the United States Constitution. The reason why our United States is the United States and the reason why it is different from any other country in the world is that It lies in the uniqueness of our U.S. Constitution, which greatly restricts the rights of those in power, allowing every American citizen to enjoy fairness and justice! They can live freely and freely on American soil!”
All the jurors looked proud. The reason why the United States is the United States is because of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees the rights of all people. Let America be the only country in the world.
"My client, the second plaintiff, Mr. Lin, is not an American, but given his great contributions to California and his close relationship with my first client, Ms. Ivanka Trump, he may even become an American in the future. Husband and wife, so I don’t think Lin Feng can’t enjoy all the rights and responsibilities brought by American law in the United States, as well as the various restrictions imposed by American law on Mr. Lin!” Ron said with a smile.
"Mr. Ron, according to US law, there is a Crime Prevention Act. If we determine that your client Lin Feng may have committed a crime, we can ban him from entering the country." Isko counterattacked forcefully.
Ron smiled.
"Of course, crime prevention has always been advocated by our country's laws. Instead of punishing people after they commit crimes, it is better to stop them before they commit crimes and prevent them from making mistakes. This is more humane and more scientific!" Ron admitted, "But there is a premise here, that is evidence. All suspicions require evidence. All kinds of suspicions and accusations against my client require evidence. If there is no evidence, it is slander! Legally speaking, this is defamation! My client can file a complaint and even ask for compensation. And with my client's current identity and status, the economic losses caused by defamation to my client are extremely serious. For example, in the past two days, my client's "Second World" has fallen by 32 billion US dollars, and my client has lost more than 10 billion US dollars. This does not include the stocks of other companies, as well as the impact caused by various companies that are about to go public. According to statistics from Ms. Abby Cohen, the chief investment advisor of my client's investment advisory team, who was once known as the legend of Wall Street, because the defendant accused my client without reason and banned him from entering the country, my client's direct economic losses amounted to 27 billion US dollars, and indirect economic losses exceeded 100 billion US dollars!"
Wow! This time, the whole court was shocked.
Direct economic losses amounted to 27 billion U.S. dollars, and indirect economic losses exceeded 100 billion U.S. dollars! If this figure is true, then once the defamation charge is established, the U.S. government will have to compensate Lin Feng over 100 billion U.S. dollars. This amount of money is incredible.
Although the United States is the richest country in the world and the most developed country in the world, it represents the entire American people, not the U.S. government. The U.S. government does not have much money. In the 50 states of the United States, more than 70 cities have fallen into bankruptcy. California, as the most prosperous state in the United States, is known as the sixth largest economy in the world. The California government is also in a loss-making state and relies on borrowing to survive.
If the U.S. government pays this compensation of more than 100 billion U.S. dollars, I am afraid that the U.S. government will go bankrupt! This is by no means impossible, but a fact. Of course, if a large consortium takes over this debt and helps the U.S. government pay it, then you don't have to let the U.S. government go bankrupt. However, this depends on the mood of those large consortiums.
Lawyer Isco had a gloomy face. His eyes stared at Ron like a venomous snake. He had long experienced Ron, a lawyer who repeatedly went against the U.S. judicial system. But no one expected that Ron would bankrupt the US government directly this time. This move was too vicious.
"So, lawyer Isco, please show evidence to prove that my client Lin Feng has cooperated with terrorist organizations! If not, I will sue the US government for defaming my client and demand a total of $137 billion in compensation!" Ron said with a smile.
But at this moment, no one felt that the smiling Ron was really laughing, but instead felt a piercing chill emanating from his body. It would be terrible if the US government went bankrupt because of Lin Feng. If that were the case, it would probably become a big joke. But according to US law, this situation is really possible. After all, the slander that Lin Feng had colluded with terrorist organizations did cause Lin Feng huge economic losses.
Evidence! There is really no conclusive evidence for this. Rice banned Lin Feng from entering the country for long-term strategic considerations. This was just a trust in her power by the always strong Secretary of State Rice, and her arrogant contempt for Chinese businessmen like Lin Feng. She didn't believe that Lin Feng would not compromise. Who would have thought that Lin Feng would not compromise, and even filed a lawsuit.
"President, if there is no evidence, we will lose this time!" Isco said solemnly.
Bush's face was also livid. At this moment, he naturally knew the seriousness of the situation, but where was the evidence? If there was evidence, would he still need to threaten Lin Feng? He could just arrest Lin Feng and make him agree to all the conditions on his side. It was precisely because there was no evidence that Bush was afraid of the trial and was even more reluctant to go to court.
"Mr. President, there is no need to rush for the time being. Director Mueller is going to prepare evidence. Isco, can you delay it for a while?" Rice asked.
"Well, it's still possible to delay it. However, since this lawsuit itself is not big, the delay time may not be long. At most 2 hours!" Isco thought for a while and said solemnly.
"Okay, 2 hours is enough. Director Mueller will bring enough evidence." Rice said in a deep voice.
Then, at Isco's request, the judge announced a 2-hour recess.
