Madoff is hopelessly paralyzed in Shrek's Baroque chair.
"Oh, my God, father, what's the matter with you!" Exclaimed mark Madoff. He has never seen his father like this since he was young. In Mark's eyes, his father Bernard Madoff has always been his idol and a big man. No matter what he faces, he is calm and easy to deal with. But now? His father, the hero and great man in his heart, has dull eyes, pale face, messy hair, and even his Armani suit is wrinkled out of shape, which is far from the image of a father who has always been a stiff suit in the past.
"Mark, I'm done! I'm done! " Murmured Madoff.
"My God! Father, what's the end! What's the end of it Mark Madoff's a little crazy.
"Mark, my Madoff investment company is bankrupt! I'm done! " Madoff growled in a low voice.
"Bankrupt! How could that be! How could this be bankrupt! Father, isn't your company running well? Can you pay the interest on time every month! And the interest is as high as 2%! " Exclaimed mark Madoff.
"Mark, you also know that the interest rate is 2% per month. With your financial knowledge, no, tell me that the interest rate of 2% per month is reasonable? Is that normal? " Asked Madoff.
"This..." mark Madoff shook his head. From the first day he set foot in the financial industry, he knew that it was very good that the world's investment income ratio could maintain an annual growth of 5%. Of course, there are many people on Wall Street who make several times or even dozens of times their annual income, but that is not investment, but speculation. The normal and reasonable investment, 5% is good, if you can have 7% has been very happy, 10%, it is the most successful investment.
But my father's interest rate is 2% per month and 24% per year, which is not normal! How can there be such a high rate of return on investment! Unless, unless, unless this is... This is... A scam! With this in mind, mark Madoff came up with a financial word, but he couldn't believe his father would do it. Moreover, he did not believe that so many powerful celebrities and so many investment companies would blindly believe his father.
"But they all invest in you, and they trust you so much!" Mark Madoff is like a drowning man holding on to a straw.
"Mark! As for you, you are still the investment manager of our company. Have you ever doubted me? " Asked Madoff.
Mark is struck by lightning!
"Father, do you really, really, really create a Ponzi scheme?" Asked Mark Madoff, shivering, not even daring to look up at his father.
"Mark, this scam started 20 years ago. At the beginning, I just wanted to make up for my family. After all, our living standard far exceeded my income, but later I gradually indulged in the feeling of being respected and in power. You know, those people are even begging to invest their money in me and let me cheat them! These people are ridiculous, you say, as a senior liar, you will not accept the money Madoff grinned bitterly. "Step by step, step by step! Of course, if I had not met Lin Feng, I would not have laid such a deep mine. Unfortunately... "
"Lin Feng! What's his matter? What does it have to do with him? " Asked Mark Madoff in surprise.
"He invested 350 billion dollars in me!" Madoff said.
"What Exclaimed mark Madoff.
"And now, he's asking for the money to be redeemed. I didn't have money for him, so the Ponzi scheme went bankrupt! " Madoff grinned bitterly.
"Father, can you ask him not to redeem it?" Mark Madoff screamed.
"Mark, I thought the same as you before, but it's impossible. Do you know how much he spent on the wedding? He's short of money!" Madoff grinned bitterly.
Mark Madoff was silent. Indeed, Lin Feng's wedding was too luxurious. He built a mountain range as a new residence. No one could imagine that. He should be short of money.
Madoff sighed. In fact, he didn't say much, that is, Lin Feng's investment was originally a partner, but he didn't get the invitation, which in itself made Madoff feel a bit unreasonable. Today, Lin Feng asked for redemption, and it was Abby Cohen who asked for redemption, and didn't give him any chance to question or even negotiate. Madoff doubted, Lin Feng may have known about his Ponzi scheme.
If that's the case, then Madoff has to think about it. Lin Feng knew it early and later. If you know later, it's better. If you know it early and lend him money, you will be in great trouble. The trouble is really big. If so, what does Lin Feng want? What's his goal!
Madoff is the former chairman of NASDAQ. Naturally, he knows that if Lin Fengming knows about his Ponzi scheme and invests in him, he must have a plan. Lin Feng's 350 billion US dollars have been invested, so he certainly didn't want to take it back. It's impossible to take back the money from Ponzi's scheme. It's bound to be lost. With so much money invested, Lin Feng must want to get more. The only place where Lin Feng can get more profits is in the stock market.
He's going to sell short on the index! God, it's going to be a catastrophe! This may become the most terrible financial crisis ever! God, the world economy will collapse! At this moment, Madoff almost jumped up to warn NASDAQ and wall street. But then, he sat on Shrek's Baroque sofa again.
What if he warned? This financial crisis, no, should be caused by him. If he warns, it will directly set off a financial storm in the whole world. He knows very well how much money he has and where it comes from. The whole world has gone crazy. He is just the last straw to crush the world's fragile financial system. Whether he warns or not, this financial storm is bound to break out.
Thinking of this, Madoff was in despair. When he first created the Ponzi scheme, it was not without consideration of the consequences. However, he believes that the consequences will not be too serious, because the funds he has absorbed have been repeatedly reviewed by him, and not arbitrarily absorbed. Even if his Ponzi scheme broke out, it would not be too serious.
Of course, he admitted that he lost control later. He couldn't control his own money. Later, he lost control and absorbed too much money. But even so, he also believes that the world economy is still controllable and will not change. But this time, Lin Feng was like a thunderbolt, smashing Wall Street's already fragile financial system to pieces.
But he can't stop it! There's no way to stop it! In this case, it is doomed. Perhaps from the beginning of his "Ponzi scheme", everything has been doomed.
"Father, what shall we do now?" Mark Madoff asked in a low voice.
Madoff figured it out, and he was much more stable. Since it is unavoidable, how to minimize the loss! This is the key.
"Mark, what you need to do now is to report me to the police station!" Madoff said in a deep voice.
what! Hold your own father! Mark Madoff screamed and screamed.
"Mark, calm down. Listen to me!" Madoff grabs mark and calms him down.
"Mark, listen to me. This time, there will be a lot of trouble, and I will be the target of public criticism. But I'm old, and I'm just waiting for me to go to jail. My result will certainly not calm those people's anger, they will spread their anger on you. So, you have to report me and get rid of you. Otherwise, they will definitely aim at you. " Madoff said in a deep voice.
Madoff can be sure that when the Ponzi scheme goes bankrupt, there will be a lot of people itching their teeth. Where will their anger pour out? What about him? It's no use. He's old and he's going to jail. If he doesn't get a good fight, he'll be killed. And they're bound to take it out on their son. He has two sons. The youngest son went out early to start his own business, but the eldest son, who has always been around, is also his favorite. He has to think about the future of his two sons.
"But, father, I'll report you. It's... It's not OK!" Mark Madoff shook his head.
The word "great righteousness destroys relatives" has been used all over the world. But it would be cruel to do so. Mark Madoff, you can't do this.
"Mark, you have to! Also, I have a sum of money here, which is a secret fund. It's about 100 million US dollars. It won't be noticed. Take it, give half to your brother, and then you can change places, leave the United States, live in seclusion in other countries, and don't come out again. Otherwise, they won't let you go! " Madoff hands mark Madoff a card.
"Father Mark Madoff looked at the bank card and didn't dare to pick it up.
"Catch it, and report me now, now!" Madoff said in a deep voice, "also, I heard that the fireworks on Lin Feng's side should be set off at 12 a.m., that is, 11 a.m. New York time. Remember to set the right time and ask the police to come here at 10:55. Also, you inform the reporter to arrive on time at 12 o'clock! "
Mark Madoff was stunned. Why?
"Well, go ahead and do as I tell you! Remember, when the reporters arrive, you will report all my crimes. Also, this list, if someone threatens you, you will give it to Lin Feng. He owes me a favor and he has to pay me back. " Madoff gives mark a USB flash drive.
