Chapter 963 Tax Officer
It takes a genius to remember the address of this website in one second: [ ] Fastest update! No ads!
Wang Zhidong and his party rushed to the United States in a hurry.
Philip Katz's funeral was very simple.
His parents died young and he lives alone. Of course, as a hacker, loneliness comes with it.
Therefore, some hackers donated money to a local priest to help host his funeral.
As for attending, forget it.
The reason why a hacker is a hacker is that his identity cannot be exposed.
Nowadays, many hackers have various legitimate careers, and many of them still work in some large companies.
After all, hacking itself is more of a stimulus, an identity that wanders outside the law, and few people are currently using it to make money. For many hackers, if they don't want to live in poverty, they must have a legitimate job.
Therefore, although they paid for it, they would not attend such a funeral to avoid exposing their identities.
Fortunately, in order to commemorate this great hacker, the funeral, although simple, was not shabby. It was even more luxurious.
Many hackers raised funds to buy a cemetery for him, as well as a coffin made of fine sandalwood, and published his burial location on the Internet.
However, there are still very few people who truly resist.
Even if they come, most of them are irrelevant people.
When Wang Zhidong and his party arrived, they found that Qin Feng and Jiang Yong had arrived early.
"Qin Feng!" Wang Zhidong gritted his teeth.
This guy actually arrived earlier than him. Damn it, does he want to blackmail himself after taking it all for himself?
But now that I'm here, I won't allow you to mess around.
"Wang Zhidong is here!" Jiang Yong whispered.
"Don't worry about him, wait until the funeral is over!" Qin Feng said lightly.
This is at a funeral. In China, there is an old saying that death is the most important thing. No matter what the interests are, the funeral cannot be ruined. At least Philip Katz must be laid to rest.
Under the auspices of the priest, the funeral was quickly completed.
Workers placed the coffin in the grave. The soil is filled, the lawn is laid, the last prayer is said, and the funeral is over.
At this time, a man with blond hair, blue eyes and a slightly hooked nose walked forward.
"You are all attending Philip Katz's funeral, so I will read you your rights." The blond man said.
"Who are you?" Qin Feng asked in surprise.
"I am Henry, the tax collector. Philip Katz has no relatives, and he once made a will, that is, everyone who attended his funeral will have the opportunity to receive his inheritance!" Henry said.
"Wait! Shouldn't the lawyer make the announcement?" Qin Feng said doubtfully.
This kind of thing should be announced by a lawyer, not a tax officer.
"I don't care how to obtain the inheritance, but what I want to tell you is that he received an income of 70,000 US dollars during his lifetime and did not pay taxes. According to U.S. law, if anyone inherits his inheritance, he needs to pay this tax for him Payments and punitive fines. Also, after his death, all estates will need to be taxed." Henry said, "Okay, I'm done."
Everyone has a black face.
Sure enough, in the United States, the only thing a person can't live without is two words: tax.
For Americans, they have to deal with taxes throughout their lives. No matter who you are, no matter what your status is, the person you fear most and are least willing to deal with is the tax officer.
Because the police will still ask for evidence and the immigration bureau will find it troublesome, but the tax officer will spare no effort to pay taxes.
Many gang bosses and black immigrants are not afraid of the police and immigration officials, but are afraid of tax officials.
"We just came here because of its reputation and don't want to get its legacy!" Several people who attended the funeral left one after another.
After all, the taxes are quite high. According to US law, this income of US$70,000 is almost one-third taxable, plus punitive fines. I'm afraid, not only was this money not obtained in the end,
They might even give you money.
This is not impossible.
So, they fled early.
Wang Zhidong rolled his eyes and stayed firmly. No matter how much tax he pays, what he wants is authorization. Otherwise, Qin Feng will be allowed to speak loudly here.
You won’t have to fight this kind of lawsuit involving the United States in the past few years. You will definitely lose.
Especially if he commits the infringement first.
"There are only four of you now. As my client's lawyer, I want to announce his will first!" the lawyer said.
Needless to say, this lawyer was paid by hackers. There is no other way, Philip Katz is too poor.
Although Jiang Yong had the $70,000, he completely squandered it. Drinking, ordering takeout, buying sex, etc., all was squandered before he even had to think about paying taxes.
"I, Philip Katz, as the founder of winzip, single-handedly defeated ARC and brought free compression technology to everyone. But I did not gain any benefits. Instead, my life was full of tragedies. The spirit of the Internet is sharing , I am willing to sacrifice everything for this spirit. However, for me, this is still unfair. I have done so much, but at the most pitiful time, I could not even afford a piece of pizza. And as a Hackers, this situation does not only happen to me. It has also happened to many hackers. Therefore, I hope that the person who receives my legacy can create an award similar to the Turing Award to reward all hackers. "The lawyer read out.
Everyone was surprised.
As we all know, the Turing Award is similar to the Nobel Prize.
It's just that among the Nobel Prizes, limited by the environment at the time, there was no computer-related award.
Later, in 1966, the American Computer Association created the Turing Award in order to encourage the development of computers.
As for the word Turing, it comes from Alan Mathison Turing.
The British mathematician and logician is known as the father of computer science and the father of artificial intelligence. Turing entered King's College, Cambridge University in 1931. After graduation, he went to Princeton University in the United States to study for a doctorate. After the outbreak of World War II, he returned to Cambridge. He later assisted the military in cracking Germany's famous cryptographic system Engema and helped the Allies obtain victory in World War II.
It can be said that without Turing to crack the German Enigma encryption system, it would be difficult for the Allies to win.
At that time, the German army's trust in the Enigma encryption system led to the German army sending intelligence at will. Every day, the British intercepted thousands of pieces of coded intelligence from the German army.
However, since it is sent using the Enigma encryption mechanism, there are a total of 1,550 trillion encryption methods. At that time, it was impossible to crack it manually.
Later, Turing designed the first crude computer to crack. This directly led to the beginning of the middle of the war, and all German intelligence was deciphered.
When one party's secret is completely in the eyes of the other party, the balance of war will be completely tilted.
