American Tax Officer-Chapter 541 - 275: Then Seal All Branches Nationwide
David took the documents and examined them seriously for about twenty minutes; then, with some plans in mind, he stood up and said, "Follow me."
At the entrance of the Los Angeles IRS, because the announcement made to Swiss Bank had been too explosive, some media outlets there for traffic had already stationed themselves, ready to broadcast the latest news at any moment.
"Director David is coming out!"
Soon, the shout of a media person startled everyone at the entrance, and when they saw David and his entourage getting into vehicles, seemingly on their way to carry out a task, they also hurriedly got into their own cars to follow.
Speeding along, after traveling about seven or eight kilometers, David’s vehicle arrived at Rodeo Avenue.
This place boasts the world’s most bustling and expensive shopping street and is also known as one of the Top Ten Shopping Paradises in the World.
But this left the trailing media reporters somewhat confused.
What was the purpose of David’s visit here?
Surely it wasn’t for shopping, right?
Before they could continue pondering,
after driving a bit further, the vehicle carrying David stopped in front of a building. When they saw the name hung on the building, the whole internet exploded.
[Swiss Bank Los Angeles Branch.]
"I get it, Director David is going to pick a fight with Swiss Bank!"
"Exactly, although Swiss Bank is a foreign company, it has a branch here in America, and it must comply with American tax law. Could it be... Director David is seeking revenge because Swiss Bank didn’t cooperate?"
"Since Director David is using this as a form of retaliation, but what I want to know is, as Swiss Bank is one of the most renowned banks in the world, their legal and tax teams are absolutely top-notch, can he really find any tax irregularities with this bank?"
While most people had already guessed David’s intentions,
be it the media journalists or the online onlookers, none looked upon David’s actions favorably.
After all, what is a bank best at?
Accounting!
They have their every dime and penny calculated clearer than anyone else, the same goes for their tax affairs.
To find evidence of tax evasion from them is close to an impossible feat.

As for the discussions from the media and the public online, David and his team naturally didn’t have the time to pay attention, as at that moment they had already entered the Swiss Bank Los Angeles Branch.

Not only the bank’s staff was stunned by his arrival, but the clients handling various transactions were just as shocked.
Soon, a man in a tailored suit approached and introduced himself, "Hello, Director David, I am the Swiss Bank Los Angeles Branch Hall Manager, my name is Puyi, how may I help you?"
As an employee of Swiss Bank, he obviously knew about the IRS’s recent explosive announcement and also roughly guessed that David was here to stir up trouble, but at this moment he feigned ignorance.
[Name: Puyi Santo.]
[Occupation: Swiss Bank Los Angeles Branch Hall Manager.]
[Monthly Income: 14,000 US Dollars.]
[Income Details:...]
[More Details:]
[...]
David scrutinized the hall manager with the system function for a while but didn’t spot any significant issues.
After all, it was merely a hall manager whose duties were limited to overseeing the hall, and who likely had no access to higher-level operations—it was normal to find nothing out of the ordinary.
It seemed if they wanted to find something, they would need to investigate the higher-ups of this branch!
Gathering his thoughts, David spoke, "Please inform the higher-ups of your branch, I would like to see them now!"
"This... Alright!"
Although annoyed by the requirement to cooperate with the Swiss Bank, since David was the head of the Los Angeles IRS, Puyi naturally didn’t dare to offend and could only turn to notify them.
...
The news of David’s investigation at the Swiss Bank Los Angeles Branch quickly reached the headquarters of Swiss Bank.
"I knew it, he would definitely cause trouble for us!"
"Hmm, let him search all he wants; after all, if there’s anything our bank has plenty of, it’s accountants. There’s no way there could be even a slight issue with our taxes!"
"This Director David is formidable, he managed to get all sorts of criminals, and even the big Hollywood movie companies to submit to his will. But today, I’m quite eager to see what he can possibly do to our Swiss Bank!"
Many of the Swiss National Bank’s executives had already speculated that David might seek ’revenge,’ so there was not much surprise.
And they were not at all panicked at the moment.
The reason was simple, their bank’s forte was accounting and such tax matters, not to mention a billion or two but even down to the last cent, they could calculate everything clearly, so they were naturally unafraid of scrutiny.
"Candreva, the tax department is your responsibility. There are no significant issues with our Los Angeles Branch, right?"
To be on the safe side, the group’s president, Jace, still asked.
"Rest assured, Mr. Jace, just as those netizens online say, our bank’s strongest suit is accounting. There definitely won’t be any problems!"
The head of the tax department, Candreva, assured him with confidence.
"Alright, then give a call to the Los Angeles Branch manager and make sure everything is flawless. After all, the person we’re dealing with is not just anyone; it’s David."
If it were someone else, Jace wouldn’t need to be so cautious.
But that was David.
