Chapter 684 Signs of Running Away with the Money
What Gale wanted to express was probably something like "What the hell are you talking about?"
The Gilt Club has been running smoothly for more than ten years. Just a few days ago, Gale went to cash in Vance Warren's investment certificate in person with Miranda and took away the five years' worth of money accumulated in it. income.
At least judging from the results, Luan Monger does have a way to rely on the wealth that others have invested in the gilded club to provide them with more returns in the future.
So no matter how doubtful Gale was, he couldn't say anything in front of real gold coins.
Until Pete told Gale about the selfish farmer named Little Sam.
Gale was completely shocked!
Never expected it.
The most critical breakthrough in the matter actually came from an ordinary person, and a humble farmer at that!
What is this? !
Is human calculation inferior to divine calculation?
A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an anthill?
If little Sam had not been so selfish when the manor caught fire and rushed into the fire to save others, he would certainly not have been able to discover the investment certificates that were about to be consumed by the fire;
If little Sam didn't know about the Gilded Club and didn't recognize the investment certificates, he might have passed them by;
If little Sam's mental quality had been better afterwards and Pete hadn't discovered his abnormality, he might have been able to hide this secret;
But these "ifs" happened to be satisfied.
The final result of the combination of every "if" is that Pett and the others immediately understood the truth about the so-called "theft of the Gilded Club"!
The Ryusei Mercenary Group may really be related to the theft, or maybe they are just scapegoats who were pushed out and blamed.
But the pile of investment certificates that appeared at the Marquis Madison estate must be related to the alleged theft.
Gale can even make a judgment directly and firmly:
"What kind of theft is this? It's clearly theft by someone who was caught in the act. There's no reason for the Marquis of Madison to do such a thing out of nowhere!"
"Even if he is so short of money that he goes crazy, what's the use of stealing those investment certificates? He can't use those people's identities to make payments!"
"And, to put it another way, even if he really had a way to disguise himself and redeem it, he would try to burn all the vouchers directly!"
"Either he's crazy, or there's someone behind the scenes who ordered him to do this."
Combined with the barely concealed smell of sulfur in the manor.
The identity of the messenger is almost revealed!
"It was definitely Rune Monger who arranged for him to do this!"
"Under Monger's instruction, the Marquis of Madison took away a large number of investment certificates kept in the Gilt Club, and then planned to use the fire to destroy the evidence, and he would also use this to fake his own death to escape!"
"They also found a scapegoat for this. Meng's people personally investigated the Liuxing Mercenary Group. It would be extremely easy to frame them with any tainted clues."
Peter couldn't agree with his best friend's point of view:
"Their actions, coupled with the suspension of redemption by the Gilded Club...so I thought of a possibility!"
"In fact, there are not that many gold coins in the Gilt Club. The so-called stable creation of 8% fixed income every year is a shocking scam!"
When this idea came to his mind, Peter was completely shocked.
It's not that he couldn't imagine this possibility, but he couldn't believe it was true before.
It's different now, they have collected evidence that may prove all this!
Others who were also paying attention to the discussion between the two using [Instant Messenger] from a distance also joined in.
First, Lancelot asked in confusion: "If it's a scam? Where does the income paid to people by the Gilt Club come from? It can't be that Monger paid it out of his own pocket, right?"
The person who answered this question was Dolan.
"I seem to know a thing or two!"
Dolan lived up to his title of "somewhat knowledgeable" and successfully kept up with the thinking rhythm of Pat and Gale:
"Idiot! After we invested our money in the Gilded Club, are all we have left is the thin investment certificate?"
"No matter how much your wealth increases on paper, no matter how many years your money has been sitting in the gilt club."
"As long as you don't take it out, it's just a number!"
"The Gilded Club does not really need to own that many gold coins. The investment certificate can only represent the number of gold coins it 'should' have!"
Lancelot was stunned for a moment: "Then what should I do if I want to withdraw money?"
Gayle said: "If we assume that the Gilded Club is a complete scam, then there are several ways to deal with it."
"First, we will use various means to seduce you and persuade you so that you can only take away the profit as much as possible without touching the original principal invested in the Gilded Club!"
"Miranda and I were fooled by this trick at the time. The Mongoose juice they provided will make your greedy thoughts worse. You can't bear to give up the more wealth generated in the 'future', so you keep the principal." Inside the club."
"The so-called income you withdraw is probably the principal you invested in it in the first place!"
"As long as you don't plan to withdraw the principal, the Gilded Club will seem to be operating normally until these gold coins are paid out."
“Second, tear down the east wall to repair the west wall!”
"You want to take out the gold coins you invested, but other investors may not plan to do so. Their gold coins are still in the Gilded Club, so Monger can temporarily withdraw other people's gold coins and pay them to you as your "income". As long as the person whose gold coins are withdrawn does not redeem them at the same time as you, there will not seem to be any problems."
"Third, absorb more gold coins into the Gilded Club."
"For example, if the investments absorbed in Green Port want to generate income, according to the operating rules of the Gilded Club, it will take at least 1 year, right?"
"During this period, can Monger use this money as income to advance the people in front? "
"As long as Monger can absorb more 'gold coins' before the second year, this trick can continue!"
Pet helped provide the last method:
"If all the previous methods have failed."
"Then the Gilded Club has one last trick."
"Announce that they have encountered some unexpected situations and suspend payment. Use this method to delay time and facilitate them to raise enough funds."
Dolan added the last sentence quietly in the communication of everyone:
"Or...if the funding gap is too large and the Gilded Club can't raise so many gold coins, they can also..."
"Run away with the money."
