Martin dinam's report ends with a brief account of the current situation of the two agents behind the assassination.
After the liquidation of the fund, Clark Graff not only lost all his accumulated assets of about 20 million US dollars over the years, but also faced a lot of claims from investors and financial difficulties such as the bank's recovery of real estate and creditors' recovery of debts. The former may not be a big threat. As we all know, the risks of hedge funds need to be prepared for all losses after investment. The latter is a devastating blow to the grarf family.
The family bought a $6 million mansion on Manhattan's upper east side two years ago and spent $3 million on renovation.
Out of the rich people's consumption habits, George Graff did not choose a one-time payment, but a bank mortgage.
When they learned that Graaff's fund had been wound up, the bank immediately took back the upper east end mansion.
The contractor, who also owed more than $2 million in renovation costs, immediately applied to the district court for the seizure of two other properties and luxury cars of the grarf family in the Upper West and Southampton, which will be auctioned off in the near future.
Having lost all their real estate, the grarfs had to move from the expensive upper east side to a rental apartment in lower Manhattan.
Not only that, George Graff's backyard was on fire.
George Graff is 45 years old. As an excellent fund manager who has accumulated millions of dollars since he was less than 25 years old, Graff took a model wife, Laura Graff, who was 9 years younger than him when he was 29 years old. After their marriage, they successively gave birth to two daughters, Cathy Graff, 16, and Victoria Graff, 14, who married Laura Graff· Graaff began more than ten years of noble life.
Until her husband suddenly went bankrupt.
In order to avoid being implicated, the 36 year old full-time housewife not only filed for divorce for the first time, but also secretly hid all the jewelry presented by her husband in the safe of a Manhattan Bank. The two daughters of this family had to drop out of Manhattan's expensive private school because of sudden family changes. During this period, the two daughters who missed the school spring break and traveled in Europe also complained bitterly about their hapless father.
The rest of Martin dinam's report was written in a calm bystander style. Up to now, the intelligence agent who once worked as a spy and now wanders in the gray area can not help but comment on the mother and daughter with obvious emotion.
Selfish and powerful.
However, George Graff, who encouraged his old classmates to empty the family business and short the technology stocks, was not a good man either. Otherwise, he would not have planned to assassinate Simon in a hurry.
Probably should be the old saying: not a family, not a door.
Simon is curious to find a group photo of the family from the materials. I have to say that at least from the photos, it is difficult to see the temperament of any one of the family.
In the photo, George Graff, wearing rimless glasses and a suit, sits on the sofa with his legs up, looking like an elegant and successful man.
Wearing a long black dress with a girdle waist, the Miaoman woman stretches out and leans beside her husband. The woman has beautiful long flaxen hair, delicate face and fair skin. Even if she keeps lying on her side, the height of the woman at least 180cm can be seen. The photo date attached to the lower right corner of the photo is last year, but Laura Graaff, who is already in her thirties, is not in the least It doesn't show the trace of years, on the contrary, it has some mature charm.
A pair of sister flowers standing behind the couple apparently inherited their mother's excellent genes. Although they were only 15 years old and 13 years old last year, they all have a tall figure of more than 170cm, and their appearance is very similar to their mother. If together, the young couple say they are twins, some people believe that the mother and daughter will be regarded as three sisters.
Maybe it's good to collect these three vases.
At random, Simon put the picture aside and continued to read dinam's report.
Martin dinam across the desk noticed Simon's eyes.
My boss was obviously interested in Laura Graff, who was quite disgusted at the bottom of her heart.
Perhaps, there will be more interest.
However, the young man's eyes on the other side are not men's interest in women at all. On the contrary, they are more like a collector seeing some good collections.
Thinking of this, Martin dinam consciously stopped thinking.
Unless his boss orders, these are not the things he needs to pay attention to.
Since he got the job, Martin dinam has always adhered to the principle of keeping his duty. He will spare no effort in what he should do and never intervene in what he shouldn't. Although as an agent most of the time is in the privacy, but often too much curiosity, the result can be fatal.
Another Woodfield family is in a mess.Just like the Hurst family, although the scale of assets is far less than that of the Woodfield family, it is also a well-established family in Pittsburgh.
Since Ralph Woodfield, a British immigrant, founded Monroeville machinery company in Lowell, the South Department of Pittsburgh, in the last century, the family has passed on to the sixth generation, but there are more than 30 direct descendants of Ralph Woodfield.
As the chairman and CEO of Monroeville machinery company, George Woodfield embezzled huge funds and led to all losses. The news was exposed by local media. The share price of Monroeville machinery company has plummeted by more than 30% recently.
In the past, other family members who could not control the family business and could only honestly accept the trust benefits jumped out to blame George Woodfield for his serious faults.
George Woodfield's misappropriated funds also included part of the Pension Reserve of Monroeville machinery company. After the incident, more than 300 workers of the company also chose to strike for the first time, demanding a clear reply from the management.
Regulators, including the SEC, also launched an investigation into Monroeville for the first time.
Other shareholders of Monroeville, who had been suppressed by the company's dual ownership structure, also jumped out and asked to take over the company.
The local media is not too big to watch, trying to dig inside tracking reports.
It can be said that George Woodfield can now be described as "besieged on all sides.".
After reading the report patiently for more than half an hour, Simon didn't make much change in his expression or comment on it. Instead, he asked Martin dinam another thing: "what's going on in Hurst?"
Martin dinam, who had been sitting across the desk patiently waiting to occasionally answer Simon's one or two questions, stood up and found one from a pile of materials on the desk, saying: "the recent monitoring records of six key members of the Hurst family, including some key recordings and videos, are here. However, I think the most important message is that last night, after John Hurst left salisberg's house, he discussed with William III the closure of the three newspapers being sued and put pressure on us by making 1100 workers lose their jobs. The Hurst family can then take the opportunity to lobby the newspaper industry unions and federal regulators to come forward in order to protect workers' rights and interests "We're not going to be able to get our litigation bombed."
Martin dinam said, sat down across the street again under Simon's sign, and continued: "I did a simple survey last night, just the Stanford advocate in Stanford, Connecticut. About 370 employees were involved in 13 trade union organizations, including journalists' Union, printers' Union, truck drivers' Union, and five of them were national. If that's the case, we should pay more attention to it Some trade unions work together, and even Congress will not despise it. "
Simon squinted, looked at the tapes on his desk and asked, "do you have a video of their conversation?"
Martin Dunham nodded and skillfully found a video. After Simon nodded, he went to the TV set on one side of his study and continued: "William III likes to talk about these things with people in his study. We quietly installed cameras, and most of the other monitoring points can only install simple eavesdropping devices."
With that said, Martin Dunham put the video into the video recorder, and soon the pictures of William Hurst III and the John Hurst brothers who just met Simon last night appeared on the TV screen. The content of the discussion was the matter of putting pressure on the westrow system by closing the three newspapers.
It is an inevitable trend that trade unions in the United States will rapidly decline after the new century.
However, the Trade Union forces derived from various established industries in the United States are still very strong at this stage. Just as it is well known that all kinds of trade unions in the automobile industry in the United States are declining due to excessive demands, all kinds of newspaper trade unions related to traditional print media are also intertwined.
The whole Hurst group has hundreds of newspapers, magazines and TV stations, and now it has more than 20000 employees.
Simon avoided his own business and let the "vulnerable groups" as the spokesperson to attack the Hurst group. The Hurst family intends to return a tooth for a tooth.
Compared with the weak ordinary people, the paper media trade unions with a total membership of one million are much stronger. These trade unions hold a large number of votes and have a great influence on the federal government.
If Simon didn't get the evidence of the two brothers' dialogue in advance, the westrow system would be in a hurry once the Hurst group was launched.
Even if the trade unions understand the potential intention of the Hurst family to close the three newspapers, they are likely to point the finger at Simon because of the lack of substantive evidence and perhaps get some more benefits promised by the Hurst family.
Now, as long as we take the opportunity to release the video after the incident, many union members who find that they have become the pressure tools of the Hurst family will never give up. It's just that the claim lawsuit caused by this kind of bad disguised dismissal is enough for the Hurst family to bleed once.
There are more than 1100 employees in the three newspapers, and there is a strong trade union behind them. The amount of the claim is definitely calculated in billions.After watching the video with no expression on his face, Simon thought for a moment and said to Martin dinam, "from now on, you should completely withdraw from the investigation of the assassination and focus on the monitoring of the Hurst family. I need more video materials, not just the recording that is easy to be refuted. But... "
Simon said he picked up the remote control on his desk and turned on the TV set next to the wall again. This time, the picture is still a surveillance camera, but it's a surveillance camera near the manor.
Martin Dunham recognized a white Toyota that he had seen the flaw when he came.
These are the people who often stay with the Westeros. Martin dinam's team has conducted secret investigations on these people. Among them, there are private detectives, government agents, and agents from overseas countries. All in all, they are coveted forces against the Westeros.
Simon used to ignore these people.
After all, these people, like weeds, will certainly regenerate after cutting off a stubble. Moreover, the former security and intelligence team of the Westeros family is not strong enough, so we can only try to prevent these people from breaking into the private house of the Westeros and installing eavesdroppers and other devices.
Now Simon is not going to put up with it.
Finding the clarity in Martin Dunham's expression, Simon went on: -- Before that, clean up all these followers and send them to Tierra del Fuego, just like last time. In addition, I warn them that if someone comes near the westrow house in the future, I will only send them to heaven or hell. "
Martin dinam nodded. Seeing that Simon had no other orders, he helped rearrange the information on the desk and gave a brief introduction. Then he left the study with his empty suitcase.
As for the follow-up related to the assassination, since Simon spoke, Martin dinam did not mean to ask again.
From a very early age, Martin dinam knew that the secret intelligence team of the Westeros was far more than his own. Now, a few years later, the intelligence team under Martin dinam's direct control has grown to five groups, a total of 32 people, but these are still only a small part of the secret power of the Westeros.
What's more, Martin dinam also found that most of the time these groups of people under his leadership are only responsible for monitoring and collecting intelligence. At most, they are only doing some work to send people to Tierra del Fuego. They have never touched the more sensitive "dirty work".
Obviously, there must be a group of deeper "executors" in the Westeros.
During the New York mayoral election last year, the authorities judged the gang fight in Barry Bay, Queens as an accidental Gang eating Gang, and the media basically believed that only Martin dinam knew that the relevant Gang trading information was collected and provided by a team under his name, and then there was a gang fight in which they did not participate.
There is no such coincidence in the world.
Martin Dunham can't help but wonder if there are monitors around him to prevent them from betraying.
But these thoughts did not cause him too much trouble.
Even if there is, it is reasonable.
After all, the real agents of the National Intelligence Agency are all exposed to supervision.
That's the rule.
From an Australian authority agent to his present job, Martin dinam is very satisfied with everything his young boss has given him. Naturally, he never has any idea of betrayal, so it doesn't matter if he has eyes behind him.
When Martin dinam left the manor, Simon's bodyguard Ken Dixon quietly gave him a piece of information about the followers around the westrow family who needed to be sent to Tierra del Fuego.
Driving back to Manhattan, Martin dinam recalled his meeting.
His boss's face was always calm, but Martin dinam could feel the killing intention of the young man. This feeling is very mysterious. At one time, he even felt that the young man sitting behind his desk might have killed people like them.
Then he gave up the idea.
Martin dinam is very clear about his boss's many "brilliant deeds". That young man has extraordinary physical strength and should also know how to fight. He not only broke five people's legs easily with one opponent, but also set a record of 10 consecutive Ko games in an underground boxing ring in Melbourne. These are all the things that they occasionally indulge in privately The topic of music.
Because of this profession, most of them will instinctively worship the strong.
It's just that Martin dinam doesn't believe that his boss has killed people and seen blood.
The rise of his own boss since he was 18 years old is clear. If his hands were stained with blood, he would have been caught as a handle. There are countless people in this country who covet Simon westero's wealth.
Before the age of 18, an orphan may fight with others, but it is unlikely to kill people.
For a moment, Martin Dunham quickly put aside these indifferent thoughts.If you are just a pawn, you can do what a pawn should do with ease.
Through the rear-view mirror, Martin dinam finds a white Toyota following him quietly. He can't help but smile contemptuously. These people may easily follow the westrow family for too long, and they become waste. They think everyone is waste.
