American Tax Officer

"The current situation is unfavorable to us, minor impatience may spoil great plans, so let's just agree to his terms for now,"

Augustine stayed silent for a while, then seemed to remember something and asked, "Is there still no news from Edgar's side?"

"I just spoke with him today, and he said that Freemasonry seems to be busy with some operations, and we can't get a chance to meet just yet,"

"Damn..."

...

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Heoya, who was in charge of the storage department, entered the room after knocking on the door, excitedly announcing, "Director, 20.16 billion in funds have been received."

"Very good."

David picked up the telephone on the desk, instructing, "Arrange a press conference for me, half an hour from now, oh, and have a reporter ask a question later..."

The main reason for holding a press conference was to tell the managers of cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and USDT that now even Satoshi Nakamoto had been handled by me— if they were wise, they would pay their taxes of their own accord, so I wouldn't have to come knocking on their doors!

Soon after, when news broke that David was going to hold a press conference, all the media were excited.

Because they had guessed that something big was about to be announced.

And since David was currently investigating Satoshi Nakamoto, it meant that this press conference could very well be related to this matter.

Could it be... Satoshi Nakamoto has really been outed?

Driven by intense curiosity, various media outlets swiftly arrived at the lobby of the Los Angeles IRS building, setting up their cameras to cover the upcoming announcement.

Under the watchful eyes of many, David appeared surrounded by a crowd of people; he walked under the spotlight, signaling for everyone to quiet down, before he began, "Good afternoon, friends from the media. I know that ever since we, the Los Angeles IRS, announced an investigation into Satoshi Nakamoto, there has been a significant amount of attention on this matter, but today I am here to declare that this case has been resolved."

Upon hearing these words, the minds of the media present went blank.

Resolved?

According to what David was saying, did that mean Satoshi Nakamoto had really been found?

This person, who was claimed to be even harder to find than Bin Laden, and often thought to be the mysterious founder of the largest cryptocurrency, had actually been tracked down by Director David and paid "protection money"?

"My god, this is unbelievable!"

"He was said to be harder to find than Bin Laden, and he's actually been found by Director David?"

"Wait... what I want to know the most now is, who exactly is Satoshi Nakamoto?"

"Yeah, who exactly is Satoshi Nakamoto? Director David, please tell us, I'm dying of curiosity here!"

Even the public watching the livestream were in disbelief, but they quickly shifted their focus to the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto.

At that moment, the media at the scene came to their senses, and one journalist even asked ahead of others, "Director David, may I ask who this so-called Satoshi Nakamoto is?"

David smiled slightly and replied, "As everyone knows, our IRS has confidentiality clauses, and since Satoshi Nakamoto is willing to pay taxes to us, we have a responsibility to keep their identity confidential, so I'm sorry..."

Hearing this, both the media and the watching public were deeply disappointed.

The feeling was akin to having a delicate beauty standing before you, only to suddenly find yourself impotent, feeling an itch you can't scratch.

"Director David, then may I ask if Satoshi Nakamoto represents some organization as the legends say?"

"Sorry, it's the same answer—I'm not at liberty to discuss anything related to confidentiality clauses,"

"..."

In the following time, the on-scene reporters were relentless, continuing to try to pry some information out, but no matter how they asked, David remained tight-lipped.

Eventually, the helpless reporters could only change tack, "So Director David, how much was the tax revenue collected from Satoshi Nakamoto?"

"The total amount is 20.16 billion, and it has already been deposited into our IRS's coffers."

There was nothing to hide about this question.

"Oh my God, over 20 billion, that's another huge sum...

"It would be great if this money could be used in areas like education and healthcare, but it's a pity that it's earmarked for that damned Assistance W Act."

"Protest the Assistance W Act..."

At the news of bringing in over 20 billion more, some of the public were initially very happy, but when they thought about this money going to the damned war, they couldn't help but curse.

Of course, as some rejoice, others mourn.

At this moment, companies like Lockheed at the forefront of the five major military-industrial complexes and Ansa Group are overjoyed upon hearing about this sum of money.

The initial amount for the Assistance W Act is 100 billion, and with this additional 20 billion plus the 50 billion already lying in Canada IRS's coffers, that's over 70 billion.

They were getting closer to obtaining this money!

"Director David, Bitcoin has been successful because its founding principle is to operate without any official or private institution's oversight. Now that you have identified Satoshi Nakamoto, would that have any effect on this currency?" a reporter asked at the media conference.

Bitcoin's popularity is currently on par with speculating on real estate, stocks, and gold.

If this currency were to crash, at the very least, it could lead to countless people going bankrupt, and at worst, it might even cause economic turmoil for the country.

The rest of the people at the scene and many online also realized the severity of this issue, all holding their breath to hear how David would answer.

In fact, this reporter and the question had been arranged by David beforehand.

As the reporter mentioned, Bitcoin's founding principle is to operate without any oversight, and now the IRS was clearly showing a tendency to supervise.

Therefore, he had to make some promises and assurances to maintain the market's confidence in this currency.

Otherwise, if this currency crashed, then the IRS naturally wouldn't be able to collect these taxes in the future.

"This is an excellent question, but I wish to clarify something. We have only reached an agreement with Satoshi Nakamoto, which is not equivalent to us wanting to supervise the currency."

"As everyone knows, since the introduction of the Black Tax Act, we have respected the freedom of thieves, scammers, and drug dealers, anyone who has paid their taxes to us, and we have never overstepped our bounds. The same applies now to this currency."

"We will absolutely not interfere with any matters regarding Bitcoin or make any alterations; everyone can rest assured about that!"

Undeniably, David's reassurances did a lot to stabilize the people who were originally anxious about this situation.

Since the Black Tax Act was introduced, there has never been a case where someone's identity was exposed due to the IRS's actions, provided they paid their taxes, no matter what illegal activity they were involved in.

This alone demonstrates that the IRS's credibility is assured.

Now that Satoshi Nakamoto has paid taxes to the IRS, and the IRS has given its assurance before the entire world, it surely won't intervene in the affairs of this currency.

Seeing that Bitcoin's market confidence was stabilized, David spoke again, "As everyone can now see, Bitcoin has set a good example for cryptocurrencies. I hope that in the future, USDT, Ethereum, and the rest of the cryptocurrencies will also take the initiative on tax issues and come to the Los Angeles IRS to file a report."

"For those that voluntarily come and indeed have tax issues, I can offer a 3 percent tax relief benefit. As for those with tax issues who don't come forward to declare, I will investigate, but then it won't be relief anymore, it'll be punishment!"

Directors of regional IRS offices have certain authority to adjust tax rates, and as the head of the Los Angeles IRS, he naturally has the power to provide tax relief to taxpayers.
