Chapter 2075 The Scam Within the Scam
Terry Dietrick actually has his own difficulties...
Why are those scammers targeting the black money in the vault?
Because even if they stole the black money, Terry didn't even dare to call the police.
Most of the cash in his vault had problems with its origin. Normally, it would be no problem to exchange it scatteredly for individual customers in the casino, but if it was transferred to Stark all at once, it would easily cause a series of problems.
The money in the vault is just a batch of banknotes waiting to be cleaned, but if it is handed over to Stark, it will be an unclear account.
Suddenly there is an additional expenditure of 200 million in the account, and the source of the money is unclear. This is asking for trouble.
That's why Terry Dietrick came up with this way of lending cash to Stark to show off. The money must not leave the hotel!
What Terry didn't expect was that what Stark was waiting for was his words...
Taking advantage of the situation and taking away the cash was a temporary solution devised by Stark and Alvin.
Because they weren't sure they could steal the money from the vault without alerting anyone.
But if the money becomes Stark's property, then his battle with the liar will be meaningless.
Because he won the money through legitimate means, if it was stolen, Stark himself would be the loser.
Now, Terry is unwilling to hand over the cash, but he can use the 200 million gambling capital as collateral to lend the cash to Stark.
The ownership of the cash has not changed, which means that the cash still belongs to Terry.
If it is lost or other problems arise, it is Terry's responsibility.
In fact, Stark had already thought about how Terry would react, so he made such a willful request and forced Terry to make such a decision.
As long as the money is removed from the vault, Stark has the upper hand in his battle with the crooks.
Stark and Alvin didn't have the slightest fondness for Terry Dietrick, who was working with Anthony. They had plenty of ways to "steal" the money and make Terry pay the price.
This was also Alvin's original promise to make everyone involved in Anthony's criminal industry chain pay the price.
In fact, in the final analysis, Stark and those crooks have the same goal, but he is a little more competitive.
But Stark could never imagine how powerful a gang of liars could be.
Scammers always target people. They may not be able to deal with the treasury, but they know how to deal with people.
…………
The confident Stark ended the day's carnival and returned to the Caesars Palace Hotel with Alvin and the others.
Originally, he and Terry had made an appointment to go see the banquet hall that was filled with banknotes tonight.
As a result, when a few people were having lunch, things began to take a turn for the worse, and developed in an incredible direction.
On the midday news in Las Vegas, a picture of the Metropolitan Hotel suddenly appeared.
Five masked robbers suddenly burst into the hotel, kidnapped Terry, the casino owner who worked all night, and the female MI6 agent, and then forced their way into the casino's vault.
The security of the casino was caught off guard, and when the boss was taken as a hostage, they had no idea what to do?
The password of the vault is changed every day. There is no other exit at all. Although these crazy robbers broke in, it is almost the same as death.
When Stark received the alarm from the vault, he came to his senses, turned on the camera on the box where the diamonds were stored, and projected the scene in the vault onto the wall.
Watching several robbers rush into the vault with Terry and the MI6 female agent, and then throw smoke bombs around to cover all the cameras in the vault...
Stark said in disbelief: "No, this is not the style of those liars.
How could there be such stupid robbers in this world? How do they want to escape? "
Stark and Alvin looked at each other and said, "Let's go take a look. I always feel that something is wrong, but I don't know where the problem lies?"
Frank, who was eating, glanced at Stark, who was concerned but confused, and said in a deep voice: "No matter whether those guys are the scammers you are looking for, they can't take away the $300 million.
There were only five of them, and three hundred million dollars weighed nearly three tons.
What you have to do is keep an eye on the money, not the robbers.
At first glance, they looked like fools who had been tricked into dying. The security of the vault was impeccable, and the only access was an elevator. As long as the security guards in Metropolis were not stupid, they would close the elevator and lock them in.
I can't think of anyone who could steal three tons of banknotes under such circumstances! "
Stark agreed upon hearing this. It was a bit too stupid for him to rush over to protect a casino owner who was laundering money.
Alvin looked at the picture full of smoke on the wall. He shook his head in amusement and said, "There must be something we don't understand. I want to go over and have a look. That woman is still of some use to me... "
When Alvin was speaking, a sudden quarrel came over...
“Why didn’t anyone tell me there was so much money here?
We work hard, why should we end up giving our money to that son of a bitch congressman? "
Listening to the sudden hoarse voice, Alvin understood that although the camera on the box did not work, the sound could still be transmitted.
As the hoarse voice spoke, a man who deliberately lowered his voice said: "We have a task. The congressman is not easy to mess with. Let's finish what he told us first."
As he spoke, the man with a low voice dialed a phone number. After the call was connected, he said in a deep voice: "Sir, all the tasks you assigned have been completed. The person who should handle us has appeared."
Alvin and the others looked at each other inexplicably, wondering why a congressman suddenly appeared here?
What's a congressman doing robbing a casino vault?
While Alvin and the others were thinking, Terry, the casino owner, was lying weakly in the corner of the vault.
The robbers did not make things difficult for him. After using his password to open the vault, they tied up the vault guard and then seemed to have forgotten his existence.
Terry wanted to struggle to get up, but his body had no strength at all. His consciousness was still clear, and he could clearly hear the conversations of the several robbers.
But he didn't think anyone could "steal" his money. There were only a few of them. Even if they were full of banknotes, how much could they take away?
They've got themselves into a dead end...
While Terry was struggling, Sophie, who was also kidnapped, approached.
Terry glanced at Sophie who was wriggling on the ground like a silkworm with disgust. He thought about how he met this woman in the hotel early in the morning and then invited her to have breakfast with him like a ghost.
For a little thought that every man understands, he even sent away his own bodyguard...
Thinking about what he was going through now, Terry didn't even consider that it was him who had caused Sophie to be involved. Instead, he hated this woman even more.
But when Terry recalled the rumors the woman told him about a congressman in the morning, he struggled to move his body closer to Sophie and whispered: "Why does a congressman want the idea of my treasury? "
Sophie shook her head with confused eyes, and then whispered: "The Republican Party's intra-party elections will begin next year.
Some of the projects the congressman invested in suffered serious losses, and he misappropriated huge sums of money to buy yachts and private jets.
Now that his voice in the Republican Party is very high, he must fill in those shortcomings, otherwise he will not be qualified to participate in the election at all. "
Terry looked at Sophie in disbelief and said, "So he wants to steal my money?"
Sophie shook her head tiredly and said, "I don't know, maybe he thinks that even if you lose hundreds of millions, you won't call the police..."
As she spoke, Sophie seemed to have inhaled too much smoke, and leaned against the corner. She placed herself in a relatively safe place, and then fainted.
But Terry understood that a congressman was eyeing his dirty money...
If the money is lost, will you call the police?
meeting! But I would never dare to tell the police how much money I lost?
Even if he applies for insurance, he only dares to claim 100 million, because only 100 million of the 300 million is his own, and the remaining 200 million is the black money that Anthony left here waiting to be laundered.
Terry, who was in his thoughts, soon heard a burst of gunfire, and it seemed that someone was attacking from outside the vault.
In the blur, Terry heard several robbers in the vault yelling and fighting back a few times, and then yelling something like "You betrayed us..."
I don't know how long it took, but when a covered SWAT rushed into the vault, Terry completely fainted.
When Terry woke up, a large number of FBI had blocked the vault.
Seeing a first responder trying to lift himself onto a stretcher, Terry didn't know where he got the strength to push the first responder in front of him away. Then he stood up holding the stretcher and watched three piles being placed on the pallet and ready to be transported away. money, shouting crazily: "What do you want to do? Those are all my money?"
A middle-aged curly-haired man wearing an FBI jacket waved the first responders out of the way. Then he walked up to Terry and said, "Sir, are you sure those are your money?"
Terry's mind was not yet completely clear. He pushed away the curly-haired man who was blocking the way, rushed to a pile of banknotes that had been tilted up by the hydraulic truck, and yelled crazily: "This is my vault, of course these are It's all my money!
If you don't go after those robbers, what are you doing with my money?
Put it down or I will sue you! "
The curly-haired man pouted and signaled a long-haired agent to get out of the way, then he walked to the neat pile of banknotes, picked up a few stacks of banknotes and threw them to Terry, saying: "You said these counterfeit banknotes are yours, then you Please explain to me why you have these counterfeit banknotes in your vault.
There is a counterfeiting ring on the West Coast that sells counterfeit money through various channels every year and then launders the money.
Your casino has received complaints of counterfeit banknotes. In the past, I thought you were also a victim, but now I suspect that you are related to the counterfeit banknote syndicate.
These will become evidence, and it is a felony to prevent FBI investigators from collecting evidence at the scene. Unless you have a good reason, these counterfeit bills must be handed over to our custody. "
As he spoke, the curly-haired man pointed to the door of the vault, where five corpses were lying in a mess, and a black agent with a camera was taking pictures there to collect evidence.
"Those are the robbers you're talking about. It's obvious they didn't take anything with them."
Terry was about to go crazy after hearing this. He rummaged wildly on the pile of money a few times, then grabbed two handfuls of counterfeit bills and said in disbelief: "Impossible, impossible, this is impossible..."
As he spoke, Terry suddenly thought of the conversation between the robbers that he had vaguely heard before, and about the congressman. He grabbed the curly-haired FBI by the collar and shouted like crazy: "That's not the case. , I was robbed!
The robbers were silenced, someone attacked the vault, and I heard gunshots.
Is it you? Is it you?
Either that or SWAT in Las Vegas and a congressman trying to rob my coffers...
He must have replaced my real money with counterfeit money and then framed it on me.
You go and check, you go and check, my hotel has surveillance, those people must have killed the robbers and taken away my money. "
The curly-haired FBI looked at the crazy Terry sympathetically. He hesitated, took out a tablet and played a picture.
Pointing to the masked men on the screen who were throwing several large bags into the SWAT armored vehicle, the curly-haired man said: "As far as we know, Las Vegas SWAT is dealing with several bank alarms in the north of the city today. They don't have any at all." come here.
If what you say is true, then you clearly experienced a premeditated robbery. "
As he spoke, the curly-haired man turned off his computer and looked at Terry, who was distracted, and said seriously: "It is a very serious accusation to accuse a congressman of robbing your treasury without evidence."
Terry was confused by this situation. He pointed at Sophie who was crying on a mobile stretcher and said loudly: "She knows, she can testify for me..."
The curly-haired man glanced at Sophie, nodded seriously and took notes, then looked at Terry solemnly and said, "How much money did you lose?
Based on the current amount of counterfeit money, you have lost at least 300 million US dollars.
But as far as I know, no Las Vegas casino has more than $100 million in cash in its vault..."
Terry was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "One hundred million, I lost one hundred million dollars!"
Terry said with a bitter expression: "You guys do your thing, I need to make a few calls now."
The curly-haired man pursed his lips and nodded. While asking his guy to put a label on the money, he looked at Terry and said, "Sir, please don't leave the hotel. After I've taken care of the scene, I'll ask you to cooperate with us in recording." A confession.
It is impossible for me to trouble a member of Congress because of your one-sided statement. If you have other more direct evidence, it is best to provide it to me as soon as possible. "
Terry nodded silently. When he walked to the door of the vault, he suddenly turned back and picked up the box that Stark had stored here. Then he gave a few instructions to the hotel's security captain, leaving a few security guards behind. Looking at the FBI work, he walked out and said through gritted teeth: "No one can take away my money..."
Even if you are a member of Congress, I still want you to pay the price! "
…………
Things happened so fast that Alvin and Stark in Caesar's Palace had no time to take action and found that things were out of their control.
Listening to Terry's soliloquy, Alvin looked at Stark and said, "Can you track the SWAT armored vehicle from before?
FUCK, how did those guys exchange real money for fake money? "
Frank sat in the corner of the room and looked coldly at the two fools working around. He pressed the communicator and said softly: "Bern, how are you doing there?"
