Chapter 89: 83. Ponzi Arrested (7K Mega Chapter, Please Subscribe~)_2
Bruce saw a puzzled expression on Donnie's face and asked, bewildered.
Donnie shook his head, "If we are speaking purely from the circumstances laid out, there naturally doesn't seem to be a problem, but the crux of the matter lies in the fact that you and I both know Ponzi has a very good friend in Atlantic City?"
A figure immediately surfaced in Bruce's mind, and he said, "Are you talking about the Brigadier?"
"Exactly!" Ponzi secretly met with the Brigadier several times in Atlantic City. To say there was no funny business going on between them, Donnie would definitely not believe it.
But now, the other party wanted to meet with him. In this urgent situation, Donnie did not believe Ponzi could remain calm and not request a meeting with the Brigadier.
The Brigadier's political clout was simply something current Donnie couldn't match!
"Is it possible that the Brigadier has also become one of Ponzi's clients?"
Donnie looked at Bruce with a somewhat complicated expression and asked.
Apart from this possibility, Donnie could think of no other reason. Otherwise, given Ponzi's situation, he would definitely be wanting to meet with the Brigadier at this time.
"Impossible, right?" Bruce said in surprise, "The person you're talking about is the Brigadier, the former King of Atlantic City. How could someone like that be deceived by Ponzi?"
"I'm increasingly convinced of this possibility!"
Donnie did not answer Bruce's question. In Donnie's opinion, no matter how smart a person is, they have their weaknesses, and the elderly are no exception.
In his previous life, those who sold pyramid schemes and health products always saw the elderly as the easiest group to deceive!
"If it really is this possibility, $500,000 is way too little for what I've earned from Ponzi!"
Donnie couldn't help but complain.
If Ponzi really did deceive the Brigadier as well, based on the Brigadier's assets, Ponzi would certainly have a lot of cash on hand by now.
"No!" Donnie's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he immediately asked Olden's men, "Where did you take Ponzi?"
"He's in the house in West District that you arranged," they replied.
Upon hearing this, Donnie finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that if Olden took Ponzi to a police station and Ponzi had indeed deceived the Brigadier, Ponzi would be in danger now!
"Bruce, go to Robert right now and call Westglenn and Randy Powers. I'll wait for you at Olden's place!"
Bruce responded, "Okay!"
Afterward, Donnie and Bruce acted separately. Donnie took Olden's men and drove to West District first, while Bruce went to Scott's tavern to pick up Westglenn and Randy Powers.
By the time Bruce and the others arrived, Donnie had just gotten out of the car, "Let's go in together."
Donnie had prepared an apartment for Olden and the others. As Donnie pushed the door open and entered, he saw Ponzi sitting despondently on the couch, still confused by the current events unfolding around him.
When Ponzi saw Donnie walk in, his face immediately showed an expression as if a savior had arrived.
The man sprang up from the couch, eager to rush over to Donnie, but this action was stopped by Olden.
"Donnie, Donnie, have you come to save me?"
Without responding to Ponzi's question, Donnie simply sat down on the couch. As Ponzi observed this action, he suddenly realized what was happening.
"It's you, this was all your doing, wasn't it?"
Donnie chuckled softly and said, "Mr. Ponzi, I bet you didn't expect to meet me again under such circumstances, did you?"
Although Donnie did not directly answer Ponzi's words, this response made it clear to Ponzi what Donnie meant. Your next read awaits at m v|l-e'-NovelBin.net
"This is illegal detention! I'll sue you! I will definitely sue all of you!" Ponzi screamed somewhat frantically.
Donnie laughed and said, "Dear Mr. Ponzi, I actually wanted to compliment you on your intelligence, but why are you being foolish again? Let me tell you very clearly, Olden and his team are indeed real Federal Agents, and as for your affairs... do you think Boston hasn't heard about your news yet?
Rest assured, I've already had my people deliver the latest edition of the Atlantic City Post to Boston at top speed.
By the time you get to Washington, I'm sure that everything about you will have been investigated thoroughly in Boston!"
Donnie's words made Ponzi feel as if he had plummeted into an abyss.
"No, you can't do this. Donnie, have you forgotten? There was a business cooperation between us. If I get caught, you won't get that money either. The federal government will definitely recover that money. This situation doesn't benefit you at all.
I can forgo the previous $500,000, just please spare my life!" Ponzi pleaded with Donnie.
At that moment, Donnie took a document from Dwight's hands and tossed it to Ponzi, saying with a smile, "Are you talking about this document?"
Dwight had been following Donnie's orders to observe Ponzi in recent days and had thoroughly investigated Ponzi's hiding place for documents. After Ponzi was taken by Olden, Dwight sneaked into Ponzi's home and took the document from his study.
It turned out that all of Ponzi's expenses in Atlantic City were paid by check, which was fortunate because Dwight could have also found some cash in his safe.
As Ponzi looked at the document in his hands, he realized everything. From the moment he arrived in Atlantic City, Donnie had been scheming against him.
