Chapter 248： : Prosecution

Latest website: Hardy stayed with Taylor for two days in France and returned to Los Angeles by plane. He now has a lot of things to do.

The movie "Across the World" starring Ava Gardner and Gary Grant, and the movie "Song in the Rain" starring Judy Garland and Johnny Fontaine. Both movies have been produced and can be released at any time. Hardy decided to start On "Across the World", he was going to make a grand premiere before the movie was released.

For supermarket chains and logistics companies, he needs to decide on some things himself. The supermarket chain’s site selection report in New York came up. Hardy and the person in charge, Sam Wharton, conducted an on-site inspection and felt that the several places he chose were more suitable for him. Requirements.

The logistics company has recruited a large number of drivers and has begun to take on transportation tasks. At the same time, it has built several large storage bases in various parts of California. The location of these storage bases is much simpler than that of supermarkets, and the main reason is that the transportation is convenient.

Daily life is simple and busy.

President Johnson is carrying out his big speech tour, Hardy also saw the latest investigation report, Johnson's data has improved a lot.

Everything is moving in a good direction.

But he didn't know that someone was calculating him in private.

Dewey’s assistant led people to investigate the issue of'TV lottery betting'. This matter is not difficult to investigate. There are too many people playing TV lottery in the United States. After grabbing a large number, it only took a few days to collect a lot of evidence. .

Dewey got the case file and read it carefully, then frowned and said, "Is that the situation?"

"Yes, that's all." the assistant said.

"Las Vegas casino lottery draws, live TV broadcasts, players call money to the proxy investment company, and the proxy investment company helps to place bets. This Hardy picked himself up really clean. Even if the proxy investment company is found, it will not affect it. To Hardy himself."

"We also checked the law. It is obvious that they played a side ball. If this form is deemed to be a casino betting, it cannot be dealt with as a violation of the lottery ban. The only thing similar to a lottery is that he does not need to go directly to the casino. Instead, let people place bets on their behalf."

"This situation has never happened before, and there is no regulation in law, so it is very difficult to seize the handle of the casino. Perhaps it can be said that the court can be called to stop this form of sideball."

"As for the conviction? I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Dewey threw the information to his assistant, "That guy is too cunning, it's really hard to have any influence on that Hardy, but."

Dewey thought for a while.

"Let the New York State Attorney's Office submit it to the Federal Supreme Court to sue the Hardy Hotel for violating the lottery ban. If the case is won, the Supreme Court will issue an injunction, which will also have a significant impact on his business, causing him to lose tens of millions of dollars every year. Even if it’s a lesson to him, even if you can’t move Hardy, you still have to trouble him.” Dewey said.

The Federal Supreme Court received the California lawsuit and issued a leaflet to notify the Hardy Group to respond. After receiving the lawsuit, the Hardy Group immediately notified Hardy.

He was prosecuted by the New York State prosecutor on charges of ‘violating the lottery ban to conduct lottery activities in disguise,’ which is a TV lottery draw in a casino.

New York State Prosecutors.

Hardy's first thought was Dewey.

Before Dewey became governor, he worked in the New York prosecutors office, where he had a strong network. He supported Johnson and moved his cake. Dewey naturally hated himself, which made people trouble him.

But Hardy was not too worried.

He thought of this when he started the TV lottery draw, so he created a proxy investment company. The owner of the proxy investment company is a member of the Los Angeles Gang and one of Hardy's **** men.

By the way, this guy has been undergoing psychiatric treatment these days, and he has the treatment materials and prescription certificates prescribed by the doctor.

As for me, I am definitely not sick.

Although it is impossible for the other party to seize Hardy's handle, this business is the most profitable business in the casino, with more than 30 million yuan per year. If the Federal Supreme Court orders it to be shut down, it will naturally cause great losses to his business.

Hardy immediately notified Ross Baker and John McKenzie of the law firm to come over. As soon as they sat down, Hardy gave them the flyer and explained the details of the matter, including the operation of the casino. The model and the situation of the agency investment company.

You cannot hide from your own lawyers. If they cannot fully understand the situation, it will be very detrimental to the subsequent litigation. If the other party presents a few pieces of evidence and the lawyer does not know the situation, then they will be very passive.

So it is best for lawyers to find the person they trust the most.

After the two listened to Hardy's narration, Rosbeck said: "Boss, based on your narration, it is now certain that this matter will definitely not be held accountable to Hardy Hotel and you. You can rest assured of this."

"As for the proxy investment company, you also made plans in advance. I admire your foresight. Now what we are most concerned about is that the court will deny that this kind of behavior is a lottery act."

John McKenzie said: "Boss, I thought about the terms of the lottery ban, and now it can be determined that it is completely outside the scope of the ban. It is mainly the casino proxy model, which has never happened before, and gambling has occurred. In casinos, proxy investment companies only help guests place bets and do not violate Nevada's open gambling regulations."

"The only place the other party can catch now is that the customer is in another state and people use the phone to help betting. Whether this method can be used to determine that the gambling occurred in another state is a point of dispute."

Strictly speaking, the TV lottery model is similar to later generations of online gambling. It is naturally not there. He had already thought that someone might use this to attack the casino, so he set up a proxy investment company to physically isolate the trouble.

"The other party will hold on to this point, because this is the only handle they can grasp. Boss, you know, this kind of litigation may last a long time, and it may be possible for a year or two."

After hearing this, Hardy smiled, "I don’t care for one or two years. Just play with them. You can also earn a little more legal fees. But in the end, I hope to win, because this involves tens of millions of business in the casino every year. ."

"One more thing, the court cannot order the suspension of this business during the litigation period, otherwise it will cause us losses."

Hardy made his request.

"The boss rest assured, we will use all our strength to deal with this lawsuit." Rosbeck and John McKenzie said together.

After the two left, Hardy picked up the office phone and called the old godfather first. The Corleone family is also a major shareholder of the casino and should have known about this.

After hearing this, the old godfather said: "I guess Dewey's hand moved."

"I think so too. After all, I stand on his opponent's side and have become his enemy." Hardy said.

"What are you going to do to Hardy next?" the old godfather asked.

"Responding to the lawsuit, I let the lawyers form a strong team of lawyers. It is naturally best to win the lawsuit. If there is a problem, I will delay it for a year or two." Hardy said.

The old godfather admired Hardy's heavy response in his heart.

"Well, you have no impulse. This is good, Hardy. This is also my business. I have some connections in the judiciary. I will use them to help solve this matter." The old godfather said.

The old godfather has been in business for decades, and he has certain contacts in the political and judicial circles. This is also the main reason why other mafia families persecuted him.

"That's a little more sure of victory." Hardy said with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Hardy called Giannini again. Bank of America is the second largest shareholder of Hardy Hotel, with 30% of the shares, second only to Hardy’s 41% and one percentage point more than the Corleone family. .

After listening to Hardy's narration, Janini frowned, "Hadi, do you know who is going to attack us?"

"I guess it's Dewey." Hardy said.

Hardy supports Johnson, and now the other party's revenge has come so quickly. In fact, Janini was a little angry about Hardy's advocacy and affected the business, but he can't say anything now.

He is waiting for the result.

Hardy said that there will be war in the Middle East. If this war really breaks out, perhaps Johnson really has a chance.

certainly,

If Johnson loses, he will kick the Hardy Group out of the consortium without hesitation. As for the private agreement between the two before, hehe, that's a joke.

"Hadi, I have some friendship with a judge of the Federal Supreme Court, I will call him." Janini said.

hang up the phone,

Hardy smiled.

The old godfather is a big gangster and has a wide network of connections. Giannini is a big group of consortiums, and he is still well-connected. The official has enough to find two people.

However, Hardy was very upset about Dewey's start of this matter. He thought about it and wanted to call Henry.

Henry came quickly.

After two years of development, hd security has made great progress. Now various departments have been refined. Hardy's original gang of brothers are also growing, and Henry has become a qualified head of the intelligence department.

Hardy told Henry about the prosecution and said to Henry:

"The first investigation is who instigated this matter, who is responsible for the New York State prosecutor, who is the judge who took this case, and the temperament of the judge to provide intelligence support for the team of lawyers."

"Secondly, I started investigating all the useful information of Dewey. I never believed that a person is perfect. Since I choose to take action against me, I must be prepared for retaliation."

"The third investigation of the intelligence of Dewey's close people, it is best to have empirical criminal evidence ~ www.novelhall.com ~ maybe such a person will be able to play a significant role at that time."

"I understand the boss." Henry led out.

......

The Hardy Group was sued by the New York State Attorney's Office. The Supreme Court of the Federal Supreme Court issued a lawsuit against it. Naturally, it was impossible to hide the fact that the major newspapers published articles in a timely manner.

New York Times:

"New York State prosecutors sued Hardy Group for illegally engaged in lottery business, Hardy Group received a subpoena from the Federal Supreme Court."

Los Angeles Times:

"Will the boss of the Hardy Group face jail time".

Global Times:

"The Hardy Group received a subpoena, and President Andy said he was not worried about it."
