Chapter 287： How to divide the bank's losses and the $8 million

Chapter 287 How to distribute the bank’s losses and the US$8 million

Pushing the door open, Potente-Byrne saw the new desks and chairs in the office area, as well as the computer on the desk, and smiled softly.

He already knew what happened last night, the leader of the No. 4 investigation team, Morton York, came here with his agents to rob people, but several of his men were overthrown by Luo An alone.

From Potente-Byrne's point of view, it was very normal for Luo An to kill four robbers by himself and easily defeat the ordinary agents of Investigation Team No. 4, and he also kept his hands.

The fact that Luo An exchanged his driver for a lot of things later made Potente-Byrne look at Luo An with admiration and even more satisfied.

This means that Luo An is not only good at skills and brains, but also understands office politics or higher-level politics.

 After all, one of the essences of federal politics is the exchange of interests.

 “Hello, sir.”

 Seeing that the person coming was Potente Burn, the three of Luo An immediately stood up.

"No need to be like this, sit down, I'm here to see Luo An."

Potente-Bourne waved his hand and motioned for Mona and Lacey to sit down as before. Roan nodded when he knew the other party's intention, and led him into the team leader's office next to him.

At this time, the office was extremely clean, with nothing but air, so Luo An took two chairs from the office area outside.

Roan poured Potente-Born another cup of coffee and said with a smile:

“After all, I just came to Los Angeles and the office hasn’t been cleaned up yet.”

 Potente-Bourne took the coffee and raised his eyebrows slightly:

“Really, where did the tables, chairs and computers outside come from?”

Luo An smiled and replied:

 “A gift from a kind-hearted person.”

Potente Byrne smiled and said nothing. Morton York, the leader of Investigation Team No. 4, was not a kind guy.

Taking a sip of coffee, Potente-Born stopped talking nonsense about this matter and began to change the topic to business:

 “The losses on the “Commonwealth Bank” side have been calculated, and the apparent loss is US$1 billion.”

It was said to be 1 billion U.S. dollars, but Potente Byrne checked through various connections and found that none of the fund projects of the well-known film company foundations had suffered losses, so how was the 1 billion U.S. dollars calculated? It is impossible to determine whether it is true or false.

Roan's eyes moved slightly, and he noticed the key words in Potente-Bourne's words:

 “On the surface?”

 Potente-Byrne nodded, and then gave Roan an indescribable look.

　　After the previous operation ended, before the hacker’s body was pulled out of the room by the Trace Inspection Section agents, a group of bank executives rushed in with several technicians holding computers.

The computer was turned on and the server was connected to a complex system operation. A technician whispered something into the ear of a bank executive. A lot of cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the bank executive. The elderly white man also took a deep breath. Several times.

 Seeing the other party's appearance, Potente-Byrne simply did not believe that their loss was only one billion US dollars.

But the bank executives refused to allow FBI agents to intervene in the server, so he didn’t know the exact amount of the loss.

Potente-Byrne didn't bother to know. Anyway, the bank robbers had been solved and the FBI had done its job. He was not interested in the dirty things inside the bank. The one who was interested should be the IRS.

 Luo An was not interested in this either, but he thought of another thing:

“Sir, did the bank tell you what the chances are of getting the money back?”

"have no idea."

Potente-Byrne does not understand these things. However, an agent from the Trace Inspection Section who specializes in computers later explained to him that if the hacker’s computer was still there and the USB flash drive was there,

They may be able to find the program set up by the other party to transfer money through reverse calculation through a computer bug specially made by hackers to break through the bank's server protection wall.

Although banks can now find account numbers for money transfers, there must be a lot of them. The money was definitely not transferred only once. It is normal for each money to be transferred hundreds or even thousands of times, so it is impossible to find out the final destination of the money.

The only hope was the computer and USB flash drive, which were burned to pieces by fire.

  Detectives from the Trace Inspection Section said that the two chips had been burned into carbon, making technical recovery impossible.

 Luo An swallowed his coffee and concluded:

“The hacker is dead, the robber leader Jack is dead, and the computer USB flash drives are all scrapped. There is a high probability that the bank will not be able to recover the money that was stolen from them.”

 “That’s right.”

Potente Byrne patted Luo An on the shoulder and said that the whereabouts of the money had nothing to do with the FBI. The performance of bank executives showed that the money they lost was probably dirty. If there was really an investigation, it would be the IRS's turn.

 Drinking the coffee in one gulp, Potente-Born looked at Roan and said seriously:

“Forget about the aftermath of this case! Luo An, your performance today is very good, far beyond my expectations! Well done!”

 “It’s all under the command of the commander.”

Luo An replied with a smile.

The two looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and chatted for a few words. Luo An asked:

“Sir, when will the thank you payment promised by the bank be received?”

 “I’m afraid it will take a while.”

Eight million US dollars is not a small amount of money, and it is impossible for the guys who want to read and write in banks to take out this money very quickly.

But defaulting on arrears is even more unlikely. This is the US$8 million promised before. The LAPD and FBI are not kind-hearted institutions that are easy to talk to.

How to distribute this money, the FBI will definitely get the lion's share, so the LAPD will most likely only get $1.3 million, the SWAT team will get $800,000, and the remaining $5.9 million belongs to the FBI alone.

The $5.9 million was divided among several other departments involved in the case, including Team Director Potente Byrne, FBI Los Angeles Division Director, Deputy Director, Special Agent in Charge, and the FBI Financial Facilities Department, leaving the rest. The approximately US$3 million invested belongs to Luo An's special investigation team.

On the surface, the special investigation team only received 3 million out of the 8 million U.S. dollars in gratitude, but in fact, the director, deputy director, special agent director, etc. all received a sum of money, which meant that Luo An directly entered the high-level attention.

 If the senior management is satisfied, the subsequent work life will definitely be smoother.

 After the Finance and Facilities Department received the money, it would normally use part of it to improve the office conditions of various departments. Within this scope, Luo An's special investigation team would definitely receive some minor care, so another sum of money was returned.

Other unfamiliar departments in the building will definitely treat Luo An much more kindly afterwards. After all, the funds they received were obtained by Luo An, so Luo An will definitely have an easier time handling cases in the future.

“By the way, your special investigation team is still missing some members, right?”

When Potente Byrne was about to leave the special investigation team, he suddenly thought of something and took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Roan:

“This is the document I asked the director to sign.”

 Luo An took the document, which contained a notice that the special investigation team could choose its own team members in any department or team of the FBI's Los Angeles branch.

 “Wow, thank you sir.”

Such a great power made Luo An's lips slightly raised. The money is not free. Isn't this the door of convenience?

"You're welcome."

Potente-Bourne waved his hand to indicate that Roan deserved it. After pondering for a few seconds, he asked:

“By the way, Luo An, are you interested in going overseas?”

  Luo An:?
