Hardy Empire 1945

Chapter 248: Prosecution

Latest website: Hardy spent two days with Taylor in France, and left to fly back to Los Angeles. He has a lot of things to do now.

Ava Gardner and Cary Grant starring in the film Across the World and Judy Garland and Johnny Fanting starring Singing in the Rain, both films have been produced and are ready to be released at any time, Hardy decided to first On Across the World, before the movie was released, he was going to hold a grand premiere.

For supermarket chains and logistics companies, some things need to be decided by him. The supermarket chain reported on the location selection in New York. Hardy and the person in charge, Sam Walton, conducted an on-site inspection and felt that the places he chose were more suitable for him. requirements.

The logistics company has recruited a large number of drivers and has begun to take over transportation tasks. At the same time, several large-scale storage bases have been built in various parts of California. The location of these storage bases is much simpler than that of supermarkets, and the most important thing is that the transportation is convenient.

Everyday life is simple and busy.

President Johnson is on his speech tour, and Hardy has also seen the latest survey report, and Johnson's data has improved a lot.

Everything is going in a good direction.

But he didn't know that someone was plotting against him in private.

Dewey's assistant, led people to investigate the 'television lottery betting' matter. This matter is not difficult to investigate. There are too many people playing TV lottery in the United States. Once caught, a lot of evidence was collected in just a few days. .

Dewey took the case file and read it carefully, frowned, Is that all you need?

Yes, that's all, said the assistant.

Las Vegas casino lottery draws, TV broadcasts, players send money to the agency investment company, and the agency investment company helps to place bets. This Hadi picked himself really cleanly, even if the agency investment company is found, it will not affect the to Hardy himself.

We also checked the laws and it was clear that they played a borderline ball. If this form is identified as a casino wagering, it cannot be treated as a violation of the lottery ban. The only thing similar to the lottery is that he does not need to go directly to the casino. It’s about having people place the bets on their behalf.”

This kind of situation has never happened before, and there are no legal regulations, so it is very difficult to seize the casino. Maybe you can persuade the court to order a stop to this form of edge ball.

As for conviction? I'm afraid it will be difficult.

Dewey threw the information to his assistant,

That guy is so cunning, it's really hard to have any effect on that Hardy, though.

Dewey thought about it.

Let the New York State Attorney's Office submit it to the Federal Supreme Court to sue the Hardy Hotel for violating the lottery ban. If the case wins, the Supreme Court will issue an injunction, which will also have a major impact on his business, causing him to lose tens of millions of dollars every year, hum, It's a lesson to him, even if you can't move Hardy, you have to give him trouble. Dewey said.

The Supreme Court of the United States received the lawsuit from California and issued a leaflet to notify Hardy Group to respond to the lawsuit. After receiving the lawsuit, Hardy Group immediately notified Hardy.

Indicted by New York State prosecutors on charges of 'violating lottery bans to disguise lottery activities', which is the casino's televised lottery activities.

New York State Prosecutor.

Hardy's first thought was Dewey.

Before Dewey became governor, he worked in the New York prosecutor's office, where he had a strong network of contacts. He supported Johnson and moved his cake. Dewey naturally hated himself very much. This was causing people to trouble him.

But Hardy wasn't too worried.

He thought of this when he was doing the TV lottery draw, so he specially created a proxy investment company. The boss of the proxy investment company is a member of the Los Angeles Gang and one of Hardy's hard-core men.

By the way, this guy has been undergoing psychiatric treatment these days, and he has the treatment materials and prescription certificates prescribed by the doctor.

As for myself, I'm definitely not sick.

Although it is impossible for the other party to seize Hardy's handle, this business is the most profitable business in the casino, with more than 30 million per year. If the Federal Supreme Court orders it to shut down, it will naturally cause great losses to his business.

Hardy immediately notified Ross Baker and John McKenzie of the law firm to come over, and as soon as the two sat down, Hardy handed them the flyer and explained the matter in detail, including the operation of the casino Model and the situation of the agency investment company.

You can't hide from your lawyers. If they don't fully understand the situation, it will be very unfavorable for subsequent lawsuits. If the other party presents several evidences and the lawyers don't know the situation, they will be very passive at that time.

So it's best for lawyers to find someone they trust the most.

After the two of them listened to Hardy's story, Roseback said, Boss, according to your story, it is now certain that this matter will never be held accountable to Hardy Hotel and you. You can rest assured.

As for the agency investment company, you also made plans in advance. I admire your foresight. The thing we are most concerned about now is whether the court will deny that this kind of behavior belongs to the lottery.

John McKenzie said: Boss, I have thought about the terms of the lottery ban, and now it can be concluded that it is completely outside the scope of the ban, mainly because of the mode of gambling on behalf of the casino, which has never happened before, and gambling behaviors have occurred. In the casino, the surrogate investment company is only helping customers to place bets, and it does not violate the Nevada Open Gambling Regulations.”

The only place the other party can seize now is that the guests are in other states, and they use the telephone method to help people bet. Whether this method can determine that the gambling behavior occurred in other states is a controversial point.

Strictly speaking, the TV lottery drawing model is somewhat similar to the online gambling of later generations. Naturally, it does not exist now. He had already thought that someone might use this to attack the casino, so he set up a proxy investment company to physically isolate the trouble.

The other party will bite on this point, because this is the only handle they can grasp. You know, boss, such a lawsuit may take a long time, and it may take a year or two.

Hardy smiled after hearing this, I don't care, just play with them for a year or two, you can also earn a little more legal fees, but in the end I hope to win, because it involves tens of millions of casinos' annual business. .

Another point is that the court cannot order the suspension of this business during the litigation period, which will still cause us losses.

Hardy made his own demands.

The boss can rest assured that we will use all our strength to deal with this lawsuit. Rothbeck and John McKenzie said together.

After the two left, Hardy picked up the office phone and called the old godfather first. The Corleone family is also a major shareholder of the casino and should know about it.

After listening, the old godfather said, I guess it was Dewey's hand.

I think so too. After all, I stand on his opponent's side and have become his enemy. Hardy said.

What are you going to do next to Hardy? the old godfather asked.

In response to the lawsuit, I asked the lawyers to form a strong team of lawyers. It is naturally the best to win the case. If there is a problem, it will be delayed for a year or two. Hardy said.

The old godfather appreciated Hardy's heavy handling in his heart.

Well, you don't have any impulses, that's good, Hadi, this is my business too. I have some connections in the judicial world, and I will use them to help solve this matter together, said the old godfather.

The old godfather has been in business for decades and has certain connections in the political and judicial circles, which is also the main reason why other mafia families persecuted him at the time.

That victory is a little more certain. Hardy said with a smile.

Hanging up the phone, Hardy called Giannini again. Bank of America is the second largest shareholder of Hardy Hotel, with 30% of the shares, second only to Hardy's 41%, and one percentage point more than the Corleone family. .

After listening to Hardy's narration, Giannini frowned, Hady, do you know who is going to attack us?

My guess is Dewey, Hardy said.

Hardy supports Johnson, and now the other party's revenge is coming so soon. In fact, Giannini is a little angry at Hardy's opinion on Hardy, which affects the business, but he can't say anything now.

He is waiting for the result.

Hardy said that there will be a war in the Middle East, and if this war does break out, maybe Johnson really has a chance.

certainly,

If Johnson loses, he will kick the Hardy Group out of the consortium without hesitation. As for the previous private agreement between the two, hehe, that's a joke.

Hadi, I have some friendship with a judge of the Federal Supreme Court, and I will call him. Giannini said.

hang up the phone,

Hardy smiled.

The old godfather is a big gangster with a wide network of contacts. Giannini is a big boss of a consortium, and he still has a lot of contacts. It is enough for the official to find two people.

However, Hardy was very upset about Dewey's actions on him. He thought about it and called Henry.

Henry came quickly.

After two years of development, hd security has made great progress. Now the various departments have been refined. Hardy's original group of brothers are also growing. Henry has become a qualified intelligence department head.

Hardy told Henry about the prosecution and said to Henry:

The first investigation is who instructed this matter, who is responsible for the New York State prosecutor, who is the justice who took over this case, and the justice's temperament to provide intelligence support for the lawyer team.

Secondly, I started to investigate all the useful information of Dewey. I never believed that a person was perfect. Since he chose to attack me, he must be prepared to accept revenge.

Thirdly, investigate the intelligence of people close to Dewey. It is best to have empirical evidence of crime. Maybe such people will be able to play a big role at that time.

I understand boss. Henry led the order out.

......

The Hardy Group was sued by the New York State Attorney's Office, and the Supreme Court issued a lawsuit against it. Naturally, the matter could not be concealed, and major newspapers published articles in a timely manner.
