Chapter 1109: Rob Me Again with the Money You Stole Me

Jordan Belfort, the king of junk stocks, began to run to court at the end of last year, and shortly after being convicted and imprisoned, Song Ya had previously made a comeback and still starred Xiao Lizi, about part of the fragment of his autobiographical film "The Wolf of Wall Street", and later completed the whole film in a coma.

Another Wall Street figure close to him and Carl Icahn, the king of junk bonds, Milken, was imprisoned earlier, and was fined and compensated for illegal transactions, non-disclosure of material information, tax evasion and illegal profits, etc., totaling more than one billion dollars, and was only released in 92, but was banned from entering the securities industry for life.

This is also the weakness of the Karl Icahn group, who are too aggressive, have dirty wrists, and like to walk on the edge of the law, offending a large number of Wall Street peers and public companies.

Thieves eat meat, but they have not been beaten, so don't look at the rumors that Carl Icahn's capital return is more generous than Buffett's, but Buffett, who has a much more positive and gentle image, is now worth tens of billions of dollars, and has been at the top of the world's rich list for many years, and Carl Icahn's net worth should be less than two billion.

Carl Icahn, Milken, Jordan Belfort, and Perelman, who fought with Carl Icahn at Marvel, generally rose to prominence in the 80s when Reagan was in power, and they fell in love with the economic neoliberalism and political neoconservatism that Reagan and Thatcher embraced.

In order to return to those good old days, they trumpeted political and economic policies such as small government, tax cuts, and financial deregulation in the media, and actively invested in like-minded politicians, and the jungle of radically socialized capitalism was the predatory paradise of these murderous and lawless financial wolves.

Those politicians are generally party-like, contrary to the ideas of the current deputy commander Gore, whom they support, and they regard each other as hostile and have no psychological burden to work. Perelman was tossed enough by Gore.

The content of the apocalypse The Wolf of Wall Street is a bit itchy, maybe Jordan Belfort himself doesn't dare to reveal too many secrets in his autobiography or Hollywood in the future doesn't dare to shoot too explicitly.

Jordan Belfort's pre-prison events are also instructive for his future investments.

Song Yaben didn't want to be distracted by that movie during the critical period when every second counted, he was in a coma for five months, and there were a lot of things in the apocalypse, but he was provoked by Carl Icahn, and he simply asked the big liar Abagerne to go to the prison to instigate the prison Jordan Belfort to show up, due to the success of the cat-and-mouse game, Abagerney published books, sold new copyrights and gave speeches everywhere, and now his net worth is estimated to be tens of millions of dollars, hoping to lure the down-and-out Jordan Belfort to say more.

Even if Jordan Belfort is very strict-mouthed, the Wolf of Wall Street can at least expose the ugly state of Karl Icahn's gang using junk stocks and junk bonds to defraud and make profits, and get drunk and dreaming of death......

Hmph, or that sentence, who wouldn't be disgusting? Kill people and punish hearts, and in the future, you Carl Icahn will say goodbye to the title of Wall Street Wolf King completely!

"Now...... then," Sloan muttered as he flipped through the 3DFX profile.

"What?" Song Ya, who was doing rehabilitation, asked.

"The acquisition of VideoLogic."

"Oh, you have to take your time."

Song Ya and VideoLogic certainly knew that the merger would require permission from the UK government agency, but those could be obtained through the acquisition process.

Selling a semiconductor company with a market value of only 80 million pounds, neither side expected that the British regulators would be so quick to let go, and the British would not be so efficient in administration, which must be Karl Icahn's obstacle.

There is no way, he and O'Grady are eager to release a big positive before the resumption of trading in 3DFX and continue to squeeze short, so it is not surprising and reasonable to be manipulated by Carl Icahn to manipulate British politicians to come to this time.

Playing finance, Carl Icahn really lives up to the name of the wolf king, if it weren't for the first-mover advantage of the raid, O'Grady would not be an opponent, let alone a layman.

"I called Underwood's wife, Claire, and the Donkey Party will help pressure the British government."

Mi companies buy British companies, although everyone is cousins, you don't want to sell ...... That's not going to work either, and it shouldn't be hard to get it done in the end.

It's a pity that Carl Icahn only needs to have a good news on the day of resumption to help the short order run away, and it doesn't matter if he gets the permission of the British regulator later.

"And then?" Sloan asked.

"And then that's it, after all, you can't always keep an eye on the stock price, you still have to take care of the inside."

Song Ya replied that in fact, he had complained about all of Jim Clark's behaviors before revolving around Netscape's stock price.

"The 3DFX board of directors can't be merged and reshuffled anytime soon, are you still going to kick Ross out of the board?"

Sloan cautioned, "It's hard to get 100 percent of the required votes right now. ”

"I know, don't move for a while."

Without the merger, there would be no board merger and reshuffle, and without the help of new board members from VideoLogic, the ripple effect would be to postpone the transformation of 3DFX's original board of directors.

Unable to kick Ross and Ballard means that the plan to make peace between 3DFX and Microsoft must also be postponed, Glide API is the treasure of the current 3DFX company, and if they want to suddenly bow their heads and cooperate with the rival Microsoft's D3D API when they still have a slight advantage, Ross and Ballard will definitely not be able to get the relevant resolutions of the 3DFX board of directors if they are still on the list.

Unfortunately, it was not possible.

But after such a toss, after clearing out Netscape-related concept stocks such as Infoseek, the market value of 3DFX rose from more than nine yuan to about 25, and he made another lot of money on shorting VideoLogic, and he also had a large number of VideoLogic shares in his hand, and Song Ya was also satisfied.

In short, the first big thing after waking up: the battle of 3DFX is over, and the rest will wait for the use of political and business relations to public relations British regulators to approve the merger and acquisition of the two companies.

How much did Carl Icahn's short order lose...... Maybe Icahn Capital's quarterly and annual reports will be disclosed in the future, maybe.

The second major thing is to figure out the specific loss of being in a coma for five months, and find a way to recapture the Amerika Music website.

"This is the statement of the Bank of China."

With Goodman and Hamlin swept away and destroyed almost all of the documents, PGE was almost rebuilt from the rubble, which was difficult, and only some interim results were achieved so far.

Goodman did not have the authority to use the large amount of money from the A+ copyright and asset management company, and could only use a small amount of money to buy junk stocks and junk bonds again and again to get rid of more than 40 million deposits and other money on the account.

The statements from the Bank of the United States alone are a thick stack.

"A little bit of it was spent on you who were unconscious at the time, probably during the period when Goodman had not yet made up his mind to rebel, such as the security expenses for Old Mike, and other normal expenses......"

PGE Law Firm, Samur of Coopers and the bank were all there, and Samur reported: "In the first half of '97, the copyright income automatically remitted by BMI (Broadcasting Music Association of the United States), as well as other advertising endorsements and other inputs, were gone, plus cash, about was transferred...... Forty-six million. ”

Song Ya took a deep breath.

Goodman also withheld the $7 million that should have been allocated to A+ Ventures in installments over the next seven months, the $4 million in compensation left over after the dismissal of your dream lawyers, in addition to Cochrane's other law firms, independent lawyers, and expert witnesses, and about $2 million in charitable grants and political cash...... Add the previous four thousand six, that's five thousand nine million. ”

Samuel continued, "A+ Audio, which you own 85 percent of the shares, is still on the verge of insolvency after DeLay deliberately made a round of large equipment investment and other expenditures on the Amerika Music website, and after going through the bankruptcy protection process, the land under Sunnyvale, the synth music copyright library, and 5% of the DTS shares have been pledged, and the 32% shares owned by A+ Audio have also been pledged to the local bank in the spun-off Americarica Music website......

"After two rounds of financing, Icahn Capital's two specialized funds have surpassed A+ Audio, accounting for nearly half of America's shares, almost 49 percent, and the remaining about 19 percent is owned by Demingxin and other investment institutions that helped go public," added from PGE. ”

"One of the 49 percent of the special funds is to borrow from Icahn Capital for bailout by President DeLay and Goodman, the actual manager of the parent company A+ Copyright and Asset Management Company, when you, the chairman and major shareholder of A+ Audio, are incapacitated but the company is facing bankruptcy and needs urgent disposal, and then operate the debt-to-equity swap. One is the regular pre-IPO financing, in addition to Icahn Capital's money, there must also be money from DeLay, Goodman and Hamlin, otherwise they don't need to be a partnership. ”

Samuel analyzed, "If the America music website goes public...... APLUS: YOUR TOTAL LOSS WILL BE IN THE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS. ”

"In other words, they robbed me again by stealing my money, right?" Song Ya asked through gritted teeth.

"Well, Delay should have taken a lot, and he is the central figure in this series of operations." Samuel replied: "So he has to fire Alicia's law firm and our Coopers first, and he also has options and super high salaries promised by various institutions after listing." ”

"The problem at the moment is that on the surface, it doesn't seem to be a problem. There are local law firms, Arthur Andersen and Icahn Capital to help...... They don't make mistakes. ”

"The only loophole at the moment is that if Icahn Capital really has money from DeLay, Goodman and Hamlin in its two specialized funds, then we can definitely sue them," said someone from PGE. But Karl Icahn is a veteran of doing this kind of thing...... At that time, the source of those money will definitely be difficult to trace down, such as overseas offshore accounts. ”

"Is Goodman willing to make a deal? He also took with him a lot of the original evidence of the settlement lawsuit between you and Sony Columbia Records, the Barnes case, and other cases, and part of the evidence in the settlement lawsuit was that they had been cheated out of Linda, the president of A+ Records, before they were exposed......"

Another lawyer at PGE said: "Without that, it would be very difficult for us to take on the case, which is a lot of money, and last year alone A+ records and your personal record income ......

"There are also those inexplicable new contracts signed by A+ Liquor and A+ Clothing, and it is estimated that Goodman also shared part of the commission."

Sloan couldn't help but complain, "You trust Goodman too much. He and Hamlin are your personal lawyers, and they help you manage the parent company of almost all of your businesses, A+ Copyrights and Asset Management. ”

"In the future, it would be better for A+ copyright and asset management companies to have their own full set of headquarters departments and hire at least one private lawyer, and we at PGE Law Firm generally do not intervene in related private business." said the lawyer at PGE Law Firm.

"Well, I will."

Song Ya suddenly wanted to scratch her head, but she didn't have the strength to raise her arms so high......

"You can't log in to your American Music account." Sloan tinkered with the computer keyboard and then patched it up.

“M-FXXK……”

"Mr. Delay, I heard that you have turned against APLUS? His lawyer said you stole a lot of his money. ”

Dillay, who has just become a defendant, still has the leisure to be interviewed by reporters at the entrance of the courthouse, and now he is dressed casually, looks confident, and lifts weights, surrounded by lawyers in suits and leather shoes, quite like the upstart of the Silicon Valley technology industry, "A lot has happened in the past few months, and there are too many villains around APLUS now......" he replied.

"Can you elaborate?"

"I don't know either, all the business was controlled by someone else during his coma, you know, I couldn't see him at all, not a single chance."

"But now he's awake."

"He doesn't answer my phone...... Anyway, there was some misunderstanding between the two of us about this matter, that's all. ”

"PGE's last bankruptcy protection for A+ Audio was deliberate on your part......"

"It's not that easy to make a website! OK? ”

DeLay interrupted the reporter unhappily, "I was the one who suggested APLUS to enter the synthesized music industry, so there was A+ Audio, and I also suggested that he get the American music website out, the idea is mine, countless sleepless days and nights, brick by brick I am bleeding and sweating." Let's put it this way, every piece of equipment in the computer room, as long as I quote the number, I can tell what brand it is and when I bought it. And APLUS hasn't been to the company a few times at all, and he has just walked around the company and left in a hurry, and the lawyers he hired are all bastards who are liars, if it weren't for the fact that they messed up, I would have to pay the settlement of the lawsuit with the whole music website, how could A+ Audio almost go bankrupt? ”

"Is there any trouble with the America Music website's go-to plan?" The reporter asked.

"I hope not, in short, if APLUS can see what I just said, he should indeed recognize the true faces of those people around him."

"Will your friendship be affected by this?"

"Let me put it bluntly, unlike the image in the eyes of the public, he is actually a very cold-blooded person, sometimes I don't know if he has human feelings, and I don't even know if I am his friend in his mind. He was always very, very mean to me, to his relatives or whatever. ”

Delay replied: "I remember when everyone used to talk about who had a good song, what style it was, and what new techniques it used, his focus was on which company the female singer signed with, which record company executive's 'person', whether he had climbed into each other's bed or something, he was always like this!" ”

"You said he wasn't like an artist."

"In short, when he used to get along with us, except for going into the recording studio, he hardly talked about art, really, he never cared about these things in private, unimaginably vulgar."

After watching the broadcast interview, he carefully opened the curtains and looked outside the house to see if there were any suspicious people or vehicles.

"Your number, Mr. DeLay." The bodyguard brought the landline.

"Hello? Hello? Can I help you? ”

The person on the other end of the microphone was silent for a long time, "APLUS? He seemed to feel something.

"Let's imagine the rest of your life Dillay ......"

Sure enough, his voice was so cold that it seemed to fulfill what he said during the day, "Don't try to use your street tricks against me!" If you dare to do that, I'll expose all your secrets! He immediately shouted.

"You're going to be running between the courtroom and your home, you can't do anything else, your woman will leave you, your lawyer will abandon you when you can't afford to pay for a lawyer, and gradually, you'll have nothing, you'll be kicked out of your mortgaged house by creditors and go to the streets, and you'll find yourself more and more fond of telling the homeless people you slept with about your brilliant career on stage and in Silicon Valley, but even the homeless people don't bother to believe you...... Delay, you'll only have two friends in the future, hungry and cold. ”
