Chapter 247 Uncle Alpaca
ACLU's daily work is litigation and...lobbying...
It has more than 1.2 million members and an annual budget of over US$100 million.
Local members are active in 50 states across the United States.
If ACLU believes that civil liberties are threatened, it will provide legal aid immediately.
The most powerful thing about aclu is that the legal support it provides can be in the form of direct legal representation, or in the form of a third party to the court if another law firm has already provided representation.
Friends of the court have made their views to the court by taking the free ride in litigation cases, in order to reach the purpose of affecting the case judgment, interpreting the law, and even promoting public policies and affecting the political process.
In other words, aclu can take action to sue himself, such as if someone loses a lawsuit with the government.
Then aclu can provide legal counsel to it, knowing that the organization has more than 300 full-time lawyers and tens of thousands of part-time lawyers.
If it is discovered that the government is clearly at fault, Aclu will appeal directly and go to court in person. Because it has strong power in Washington and the grassroots level across the United States, this is a very headache for all respondents.
At the same time, if the recipient already has a good lawyer, ACL can also come forward in the form of an organization and put pressure on the court - of course, it is done with the law as an intermediary.
What's more, aclu is also a good player in inciting populism.
And aclu has a large business that is lobbying... This thing, any politician knows what it means.
In short, aclu has essentially become a super-large group that is beyond the two parties and is an organic part of imperial politics and law.
If you have to make an example, aclu is like a political and legal mercenary in this country, and it is absolutely professional and has a professional ethics. As long as you give money, you will not be affected by party ideology. You can do as much as you pay, and you will have a good spirit of contract.
Such an organization absorbs spirit from the people and gets benefits from politicians. The organization itself mixes its spirit with matter to sew up the cracks of all countries, which can be said to be an indispensable force in American politics. In this process, aclu gradually grows and grows into a huge monster that everyone is afraid of.
The reason why Vanessa looked ugly was because she realized that Edward was actually a legal counsel. In the aclu, the legal counsel was not a false title, but it meant that the recipient had a certain status in it - that is, he was considered a member of the organization. It is logical that people like Edward would never be able to obtain this title. Usually, the business card title of a student like him should be a legal volunteer.
"There is a phone number on it, a 24-hour hotline. You can call it and report my number. They will confirm it for you..." Edward seemed to see the other party hesitation.
"You surprised me." Vanessa's attitude changed.
Edward was quite proud, and this was effective.
As for how this title comes from?
Of course it was Ms. Ruthberg who helped her out.
Ever since Ruthberg was signed by her own student to work for Edward, she knew that Edward was engaged in a business with huge risks.
But seeing his enjoyable look, Ruthberg knew that even if he advised him to stop, he would not listen.
After thinking about it, I had to provide insurance for this guy.
Ruthberg herself is a senior member of the ACLU legal group. She gives ACLU a certain number of free lawyers every year, such as 240 hours, and does not show up normally. When ACLU encounters troublesome cases, she will ask her to consult, and she will calculate the time according to the normal lawyer's orders.
By the end of the year, the payment will be made at the market price if the timeout is exceeded.
This is the main way for legal scholars to engage in legal aid, and everyone is like this.
But Ruthberg is enthusiastic and sincere. When encountering cases related to women and children's rights, they usually do not count their working hours for free.
Moreover, she is low-key and humble, and never intervenes in the struggles of administrative forces within the organization.
Therefore, she has a high reputation among aclu. If she hadn't loved the classroom, she would have probably become the youngest legal department leader in the history of aclu.
For his "good student", Yale Flower was unable to avoid the common people. She wrote a letter from ACLU's CEO, saying that Edward has always been passionate about public welfare and has made great achievements in law. He himself is willing to undertake more public welfare legal aid work and use what he has learned to fight for the empire... No, the rights of American citizens are the ones.
He forced Edward to donate 10,000 US dollars to Aclu.
Love someone didn't want to spend money, but he felt that this organization was suspected of eating at both ends, or even eating everywhere. It was natural to get benefits, but after eating the plaintiff and the defendant's behavior was always a bit immoral.
This made him very uncomfortable.
But Ruthberg insisted, and he had to write the checks obediently.
This guy knew in his heart that Ruthberg was old in this regard and knew all kinds of methods.
Since she insisted, it would definitely be good for her, so she had to give Judy a dozen alpaca dolls of different colors.
Judys also started calling him Uncle Alpaca, which made someone's face dark every time he heard it, but then he felt that this should be a good start.
Unexpectedly, the cold sack under Ruth Berg actually worked.
Vanessa was not afraid of Edward, but she understood that with the background of ACL, the usual legal threats would not be of much use to him. ACL and New York City have a good cooperation. Everyone worked together to make money and lived a happy life.
In this way, there was a strange relationship between her and Edward, and everyone could barely be considered... their own people?
In other words, even if she really wants to use legal means to deal with the other party, aclu will come out to "smooth the situation", and she will still have to sell her face at that time...
But obviously some people don’t think both parties are “people”. And they start to mess around with this identity…
"In addition, I have a way to get people from the Matthewsin Association to pee around your house. Mel Fister had already experienced this kind of hardship before, so he jumped off the building. The Queen of Bronsk and the Boy of Brooklyn attacked each other with the desktop routine for Wall Street. It's actually quite interesting."
Edward made the words clear - black and white, I'm not afraid of you, at worst, it's just a big deal! But Master Percy hoped to solve the problem quietly, so the pressure naturally came to Vanessa's side.
"Talk, the door is open, fight, and be with you at any time!" Edward concluded
Don’t say this, it feels really good, especially when you really have the ability to make a fuss with the other party.
"I don't like your sense of humor." Vanessa glared at him. "What is your condition to the lowest level?"
"Let the trading go, and the long and short sides will decide the outcome fairly! You won't want to protect Shaq Hayne and others, right? Since they have the courage to short orders that exceed all the equity capital, then of course, I will also allow me to use the rules to squeeze shorts!"
"I can't understand how much benefit Shaq Hayn can give you? Why don't you come to me and I can give you more of what he can give. After all, he is not far from the liquidation now."
"Senators don't want to see Shaq Hayn and Nicholas Moevich lose their positions. They are loyal veterans of Wall Street and should not bear this blow..."
"So those retail investors deserve it?" Edward glared at his eyes. The other party's words were a little shameless, but they were still within his tolerance range.
"We should not be in opposition like this. Isn't it okay to sit down and talk about a plan that both parties can accept? I know that you are under a lot of pressure now. If you make appropriate concessions, you will feel much more comfortable."
"The verbal critics are not counting, the people who point out that the strong are staggering are not great, and those who feel that they can do better are not credible. Honor belongs to those who are truly in the arena, whose faces are stained with dust, sweat and blood. Who said this?" he asked
"Sorry, I don't know."
"Roosevelt, that speech is called "The Man in the Arena". I don't need money now, to be precise, I want justice!" Edward began to offer a price
"Then tell me, what kind of justice do you want?" Vanessa began asking. "You can leave with your wealth, but ensure the market is stable."
"Stop going around the circle. The senator himself is from the investment bank. He must have given a bid code. If he can, it will be OK." Edward began to get impatient. "You are passing a message to him, instead of negotiating with me on your own initiative. I can understand that you want to knock out something more from me and then ask your master for credit."
Someone's belly became hotter, which made him quickly end the negotiations and then touch a bedroom on the second floor.
"Please pay attention to your words"
"This is Brooklyn, I'm a gangster. Maybe you have lofty ideals and want to finish this vote beautifully for Mr. Percy, and then let him look up to you, and then you can probably try to become a member of the House? Listen, if you really think so, you're wrong! Mr. Percy didn't come to search the place, which has already shown his attitude."
"So" Edward stood up, walked to the other side, lowered his head, stared at her coldly, "Don't be foolish with me! You don't care about my life or death! I don't care about your life or death either! If you still do this, I will fly directly to Washington, knock on the door of Mr. Percy's office and surrender to him personally. Guess what he will think of you? And this is Polo Park, not Bronsk, you can't stop me!"
"You are threatening me~!" Vanessa was not showing any weakness
"Yes" Edward's eyes were red and his mouth was squirting thick breath. "It's a threat! You forced me!"
Vanessa noticed that Edward's entire body was rising, like a kettle on the gas stove, and it seemed that a sharp beep would sound the next moment, reminding the surroundings, "I'm going to explode!"
"Well. Senator Percy has given a solution. Tonight, the brokerage association and large investment banks on Wall Street will raise some money and deposit it in the name of loans into a dedicated account opened by Robin Hood to pay the transaction margin required by SEC. In this way, the transaction will return to normal tomorrow! But, he hopes you can stop too! Don't go too far!"
"Hmph" Edward was still staring at her, his eyes were fierce and evil, which made Vanessa feel scared for no reason. It seemed that she was not a civilized person in front of her, but a hungry wolf.
"I don't care about the life and death of Shaq Hayn and Nicholas Moevich, but I have to leave all the goods in my hands."
"Senator Percy thought of this. He thought the range of $50-60 is more reasonable, but you have to keep a part of it at around $20 to get it."
Edward was stunned and thought about it. The other party's request was pretty good.
I raised $300,000 in capital myself. If I do this, the profit will be about 4,000.
"The derivatives part is not subject to this agreement" Edward continued to issue conditions.
"Yes, but the derivatives earnings cannot exceed 1,000,000, and Senator Percy will send an auditor to check the accounts."
"This is a bit roughly interfering with our sovereignty!" Edward smiled and said
"But we don't have the trust between us that we don't need auditing, we are not friends," Vanessa replied.
"It sounds like something is right." Edward scratched his head, and the audit was honest, nothing.
But this thing is not very harmful and insulting...
Why do you let others see all your account books?
This is one of them.
Secondly, and most importantly, since the bulls and bears had fought on the market before, both sides had top traders showing off their micro-jobs.
For example, if you falsely place a low-price order to attract potential buyers, then quickly withdraw the order and then place another low-price order. This will cause you to continue to do so. However, it can attract a large number of buying orders. After making the volume, place a high-price order and use other accounts controlled by your side to eat it. This will form a beautiful low-level chart on the market and quickly rise after successful consolidation, which is very deceptive.
As for the classic method of forming fishing line shipments through a pull-up assistance with subsequent continuous and small lifting and lowering, let alone this.
Everyone is doing this kind of behavior, but strictly speaking, it is all illegal.
Including Carl Wright, manipulating multiple accounts alone, is also something that everyone is doing, but under the regulations of SEC, this is absolutely not allowed.
However, because the evidence collection process is troublesome and the cost of evidence collection is high, it is in a state where the people do not procure officials and do not investigate.
Think about it, if Edward manipulates his grandfather and mother's account to trade stocks, it is completely reasonable, and countless people do this. Although it is contrary to the law, Sec will open his eyes and close his eyes. In short, it's enough not to make a big deal.
To be honest, Wall Street does not expect such low-level means to cut leeks, and Sec also needs to focus on the big and let the small.
But why keep this law and not amend it?
Because Sec also has its own ideas, there are too many bad embryos on Wall Street and often take advantage of legal loopholes. Just like Mel Fister manipulates theaters across the United States this time, the existing legal terms cannot be dealt with.
Then I can only wait for a suitable opportunity to close the network, first find a small charge to let him enter the judicial investigation process, and then use a lot of charges such as manipulating multiple accounts to add sentences to him. Speaking of which, this move is actually a fxxk underworld, which shows that SEC has done its best to maintain the fairness of the casino.
