American fame and fortune

The person who drove the Hummer into Martin was one of Johnny Depp's most loyal followers. This incident cannot be separated from Depp in any case.

Perhaps, Depp does not have any legal responsibility.

But in Martin's eyes, Depp's name has been marked with a bright red X.

Martin asked: "Have people close to Joel Mandel left North America?"

"Left." Bruce said simply: "He should have gone to Hong Kong City, looked for a new job with his original identity, and never came back."

Martin nodded slightly and asked again: "He is sure there is something wrong with Depp's taxes."

Bruce said: "The tax problem is very serious. Depp's investment manager and accountant are brothers. Before that guy knew them, they had done something about Depp's taxes, and the responsibility lies entirely with Depp himself. .”

Only Martin, Louise and Bruce knew these things.

Martin thought for a while and said: "Find a suitable way to have people report Depp quietly."

"This thing is easy." Bruce was prepared just now: "When the guy left, he left some information."

Martin never thought of standing up and quarreling with Depp. That would be meaningless and would not cause substantial harm: "Do it as soon as possible."

He looked at the calendar: "The Lone Ranger will be released soon. We must prepare a good gift for Depp no ​​matter what."

“This is a perfect gift,” Bruce said.

"I'm sure Depp and Megan Ellison will love it," Martin said.

That night, the media was filled with news reports about Martin's car accident, and TMZ also released the moment of the car accident captured from the perspective of a driving recorder.

This attracted media attention across the United States.

Because no matter how you look at it, it’s not an ordinary car accident.

Soon word spread that the perpetrator was Johnny Depp's playmate and lackey.

There was an uproar across the United States.

But no one is surprised that Johnny Depp has done such outrageous things as urinating on the set of "The Martian" in public.

The day after the car accident, the LAPD summoned Johnny Depp according to law.

When Depp came out of the police station after being questioned, he was immediately surrounded by reporters and paparazzi who came after hearing the news.

"Did you instruct your followers to attack Martin Davis?"

“Why are you attacking Martin because of the conflicts in filming ‘The Lone Ranger’?”

"Aren't you ashamed of your behavior?"

"Depp, did you take too many drugs and make the decision to attack Martin?"

"Have you considered that Martin Davis would take revenge on you?"

These entertainment reporters are eager to convict Depp now, send Depp to jail in the afternoon, and then send Martin there to have a duel between the two.

Depp tried to speak back several times, but was stopped by bodyguards.

Accompanied by his lawyer and agent Whigham, Depp finally remained silent until he got into his car.

Depp was told not to give interviews to the media recently, let alone talk nonsense, and the lawyer left first.

The commercial nanny van left the police station.

In the car, Depp looked very ugly and asked Whigham: "Can Howard and the others be bailed out?"

"Not at the moment." Whigham communicated with the lawyer: "Under the current situation, you'd better not bail them out."

Depp seemed like a child who had not grown up: "What if I bail them out? Are you afraid that Martin Davis will know about it? Can he come over and kill me?"

Seeing that there was no one else in the car, Whigham asked carefully: "This matter really has nothing to do with you?"

Depp spread his hands and said: "I really didn't ask them to do it. Howard didn't say hello to me at all. Although I wanted to see Martin Davis get into a car accident and die, I didn't have time to do it yet..."

"Stop! Stop... Needless to say the rest." Whigham interrupted Depp directly: "No matter who you face in the future, you must remember what you just said. What Howard did has nothing to do with you. Any relationship.”

Depp said to himself, I just asked Colson to find someone to screw Martin Davis for a reward of 5 million US dollars. I didn't expect these brothers to be so interested.

He sighed and whispered: "As expected of my Depp brother!"

Returning to the Columbia Building, the car went directly into the underground parking lot. Depp got out of the car and said to Whigham: "Let people take good care of Howard's family, hire the best lawyers for them, and form a luxurious legal team to deal with it." Isn’t this prosecution just about spending money? I have plenty of money!”

Whigham responded: "No problem."

Money can solve most problems in this country.

Depp added: "Contact the people on Martin Davis' side and spend money to compensate him. It's best to reach a settlement. Money can solve no problem."

Seeing what the wealthy Depp said, Whigham said to himself that Martin Davis would not be able to solve the problem with money alone. After all, the other party was also a rich man.

But when he used money to do things, he still wanted to strive for the most favorable situation for Depp. He changed his own car and left in a hurry to deal with related matters.

Depp, who had a lot of money, went upstairs into the mansion and suddenly received a call from his office.

"Boss, the situation is bad." The assistant in the office was a little panicked: "The inspection team of the Los Angeles branch of the tax bureau came to our door and showed us the procedures to search our office. I couldn't stop you. They used your tax arrears as an excuse and sealed it. All our documents and data.”

Depp was surprised: "Inland Revenue Department? Are they crazy? What do they want to do? There is no problem with my taxes."

The bodyguard asked with concern: "What happened?"

Depp covered the phone's microphone: "The tax bureau suddenly came to conduct a tax inspection and sealed my office!"

The bodyguard frowned: "Isn't your tax always handled by a dedicated person?"

Depp said quickly into the phone: "You guys deal with it first, I'll figure out what's going on."

He hung up the phone and said to the bodyguard: "Go to the office and see what's going on."

The bodyguard nodded and rushed over there.

Depp called Joel Mandel directly.

The call was just connected, and before Depp could ask questions, Joel Mandel said hurriedly: "Johnny, I just wanted to call you. The tax bureau just informed me to prepare your tax certificates and documents for the past years. Your tax debt problem has broken out, what should you do next?”

Depp was stunned by these words. He said to himself that you and Robert have always been taking care of my taxes. Now that the tax arrears have not been paid, you ask me what should I do? Who am I going to ask on horseback?

Depp asked: "Joel, why are there tax arrears? I'm not..."

"Isn't this what you asked for?" Joel said, "You also gave me a few documents at that time, saying that the tax money I prepared had other uses for the time being, and the tax side would delay it first. Then you transferred the money."

Depp was angry: "No way!"

Joel Mandel asked, "Do I need to send you the documents and contract you signed?"

He detailed: "In 2008, you misappropriated part of the tax money and bought a large amount of red wine; in 2009, you spent half of the tax money to buy a new car for each of your partners; in 2010, you used the tax money All embezzled to buy jewelry for Amber Heard..."

Depp was said to be stunned because he had never done these things before and had no memory at all.

Joel Mandel continued: "Johnny, when it comes to professional ethics, I have not disclosed any information to the outside world, but the tax bureau wants to investigate all accounts, documents and business transactions involving you, and I must cooperate. , please be prepared over there.”

He acted conscientiously: "Robert is negotiating with the tax bureau inspectors. Please notify the lawyer as soon as possible. This is all I can say for the time being."

Depp said hurriedly: "Wait a minute..."

"Sorry, they don't allow me to make external calls." Joel Mandel's phone suddenly hung up.

Listening to the busy signal on the phone, Depp's brain, corroded by alcohol and drugs, became confused for a moment.

"What on earth did I do? Why did I suddenly fall into the most troublesome tax issue?" He couldn't figure it out: "I can't sign those documents! It's absolutely impossible..."

Thinking of this, Depp suddenly had a memory, and his memory was full of similar scenes.

Whether it was Joel Mandel or Robert Mandel, every time a document or contract came to him for signature in recent years, he would not read the specific content carefully out of trust in the two brothers. He heard what they said Then it will be signed.

Unexpectedly, it was full of pitfalls, and these two bastards betrayed his trust.

Depp's anger went straight to his forehead. He picked up his cell phone and was about to call his lawyer. When he saw the wine bottle next to the cell phone, he put these things aside for the time being. He grabbed the wine bottle, unscrewed the cap, and drank a big gulp.

After the alcohol fell into his stomach, Lip's head seemed to wake up, his thoughts became clearer, and his nose started to twitch.

He warned himself: "Keep calm, don't panic, the problem will be solved slowly."

Depra opened a drawer, took out a plastic bag, opened it and placed it on the table.

Only when his spirit is lifted can he have the energy to deal with these troublesome things.

Therefore, Depp got over his addiction first.

The cell phone next to him rang again. Depp was flying around in the sky, not in the mood or energy to pay attention to the phone.

When he woke up a little, the doorbell kept ringing from outside.

Depp called Amber a few times, asking Amber to open the door, but no one responded.

Only then did he remember that his wife had gone to a gathering of Silicon Valley bosses and said she wanted to try investing in the high-tech industry in Silicon Valley.

Depp's head became more or less sober, and he gradually remembered something. Amber Heard seemed to have mentioned Tesla CEO Musk recently.

The doorbell rang more frequently, and Depp could only go and open the door himself.

He walked over to the video door and took a look. He didn't recognize the people in suits outside.

"Who are you?" Depp asked over the loudspeaker.

The leader of those people took out his certificate and related procedures, put them in front of the camera, and said at the same time: "I am Paul Stone, the inspector general of the Los Angeles branch of the Internal Revenue Service. Mr. Johnny Depp, you are suspected of tax evasion, please Cooperate with our investigation..."

Hearing this, Depp's head was buzzing, and the worries he had forgotten after drinking too much and taking a high breath came back to his mind again.
