Chapter 954: Sudden
"That's Epstein and I need to think about it for myself... I know Epstein so well, I've been brought to him since I was a teenager and I know what kind of person he is and in times of need , Anyone can be abandoned, and I don’t want to be the one who is abandoned..."
What Leslie Grove said was basically in line with Barron's investigation of her - this was inevitable. Before this trip, he would definitely need to conduct a thorough investigation of the other party to ensure his own safety.
Besides, Barron had already asked people to pay attention and investigate Epstein's matter a long time ago, but because the other party acted very cautiously, and Barron did not want his "interest" in him to be discovered. , so he didn't get any solid information, let alone what he saw today... But Barron still knew some basic information - including information about people close to him.
As Leslie Grove said, in addition to Slaine Maxwell, who was his ex-girlfriend and partner, Epstein also had four closest "personal assistants".
These four personal assistants were all kept by Epstein when they were very young in their teens. Well, if you think about the name of Loli Island, you can have an idea of Epstein's behavior. Got it.
Because of this, these four people have been controlled by Epstein for many years, so the level of trust in these four people is relatively high.
Moreover, these four people are basically from Eastern Europe. It can be said that they have no relatives in the United States. They only have a "relative" like Epstein, which makes them easier to control.
It's just that in this case, Leslie Grove could still think of secretly leaving some of Epstein's "treasures" as his own talisman. It's a little surprising that he could think of this and dare to do it. Lun was a little surprised.
"Then why did you find me?"
Hearing Barron's question, Leslie Grove showed a strange expression and said:
"Because you are one of the few people who refused to go to the island and did not respond to his friendship. He said a lot about you in private..."
"I'm afraid it won't be a good word..."
"Yes, but this also makes me remember you, Your Highness the Duke. After all, I will not put my own safety on those other people who have leverage in his hands."
Unexpectedly, the other party's thoughts were still... relatively sober. Barron said directly to Leslie Grove:
"If you want me to protect you, then I need more..."
Barron pointed to the black screen and said:
"These... valuable things can be exchanged for my commitment. Otherwise, it will be treated as if we have never met today. I have no interest in working hard for things of little value."
"I can take out some more, but it can't be all..."
Leslie thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said:
"Only when I am finally free and safe can I hand everything over to you. After all, I have seen too many dark things and I need to be on guard."
Leslie was very smart. She did not take all the "treasures" with her. For the rest, Barron would need to send trustworthy people to the United States to obtain them from her.
"This is a Swiss bank account. The money you want is already there and you can use it at any time."
Barron finally handed a note to Leslie and said:
"I will send a plane to take you back to Poland tonight. You should be careful next time."
Being able to come to Kolo to meet Barron was also an opportunity for Leslie Grove to take advantage of being assigned by Epstein to go to Poland to "pick up goods" for Loli Island. Barron specially sent a plane that would not be traced. The plane that arrived brought her here - as for what kind of goods he picked up, you can imagine - so Leslie needed to fly back to Poland immediately after this meeting in order to hide her Traces of the group to Colo.
After Leslie left in a hurry, Barron took out the DS card and turned it around on his fingertips, thoughtfully.
Next, the card will be copied and stored in the most secure safe below the headquarters of the United Bank for Africa.
…
"Boss, they are from the CIA...if we take action..."
Seeing the hesitation of his men, Mikhail said meaninglessly:
"What happened to the CIA people? Now they are just our prey."
There was one thing he didn't say, that he was from the CIA? Not only had he caught them, but he had also killed a few with his own hands.
The development of the matter made Mikhail a little annoyed. As they monitored, they found that the "miscellaneous fish" who came to London were preparing to leave.
This can only mean that the other party has completed the mission of coming here - it should have happened when the trace of the two people was lost.
Now you can either watch the other party leave, or... you can only use strong methods.
In this regard, Mikhail did not hesitate and immediately issued the order.
The one who took action was the special operations team led by Mikhail himself. All members were experienced special operations team members.
These people are different from the people in the intelligence team he leads. They all act decisively and do things neatly.
In the eyes of these people, the enemy is the enemy, there is no distinction of any identity, only the will of His Highness the Duke.
"Be quick, don't make too much noise, and... stay alive!"
As Mikhail's words fell, the heavily armed special operations team members in the darkness broke into the opponent's house with standard tactical actions...
…
On October 21, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) served subpoenas to several investment banks and financial groups, including the New York branch of DS Group, Standard Chartered Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs Group and Morgan Stanley, announcing that it would investigate whether there were violations. The deal investigates these companies.
Relevant SEC officials pointed out that DS Group, Standard Chartered-Merrill Lynch and other companies are suspected of publishing news in securities investment to affect market sentiment. There may also be illegal acts of insider trading and illegal disclosure of relevant information to investors. They will investigate this. .
After the news broke, it immediately became headline news on the global economic page. However, when interviewed by reporters, spokespersons of these companies denied the SEC's accusations, saying that they took the initiative after receiving the SEC's subpoena. We have conducted an internal self-examination and have not found any relevant violations so far. We hope that the SEC’s investigation will be released only after there is conclusive evidence, otherwise it will retain the right to pursue this matter.
"Didn't you get some news before this?"
It can be said that this is the first time that DS Group and Standard Chartered-Merrill Lynch Group controlled by Barron have been investigated by the US Securities Regulatory Commission. At the same time, on the list of this investigation, there are also Goldman Sachs Group and Morgan Stanley, so in Immediately, Barron had a phone call with Lloyd Trankfin, CEO of Goldman Sachs Group.
