Chapter 642 Evidence

Giuliani is currently only famous in the U.S. judicial community, but in a few years when he becomes mayor of New York, he will become a rising political star in the U.S. federal government.

The two-party ruling system of the U.S. federal government has caused the donkey and the elephant to fight each other for two centuries. Especially in modern times, this fight has become more and more unscrupulous. In order to bring down the other side, the two parties will do anything to achieve their goals.

Since he is a rising political star in the Republican Party, he will inevitably be targeted by the Democratic Party. When Giuliani was a prosecutor, the Democratic Party would not point their guns at him, but when he became a rising political star in the Republican Party, the Democratic Party was not so polite.

Especially after he participated in the 2008 presidential election as the Republican presidential candidate, this targeting became more intense, and some very secretive things Giuliani had done in the past were dug up by the Republican Party.

Giuliani is definitely a strong person. Whether he was a federal prosecutor or the mayor of New York, his tough tactics were seen by many people. Similarly, people with strong personalities, when they are in high positions and hold great power, often resort to radical or even very radical means to achieve their goals.

When Giuliani was the prosecutor in the Southern District of New York City, he sent more than 4,000 criminals to prison. This was certainly due to the fact that those criminals themselves had bad records, but it is obviously unlikely that Giuliani had prosecuted these people in strict accordance with legal procedures.

Although U.S. law is very strict in dealing with crime, it often takes a long time to investigate and collect evidence for a criminal, especially one involved in economic crimes, and then to prosecute and go to trial. However, Giuliani has brought down thousands of economic criminals in just ten years. This speed is simply incredible in the United States.

But Giuliani did it anyway.

This has a lot to do with the fact that he often adopts some unconventional practices during the investigation and evidence collection. For example, in the recent case of "junk bond king" Michael Milken, Giuliani took some very drastic and unconventional measures.

In fact, it was not Giuliani who discovered that Michael Milken had violated the rules in junk bond operations, but an investigator from the SEC. Since the stock market crash last year, the SEC has begun to increase its supervision of the securities market. In this case, Michael Milken came into the SEC's sight.

Michael Milken could be called the "King of Junk Bonds". He had been operating junk bonds worth billions of dollars for more than ten years. It would be strange if he had a clean bottom. Therefore, after a thorough investigation, the investigators of the Federal Securities and Exchange Commission had evidence of Michael Milken's large-scale illegal operation of junk bonds and prepared to sue Michael Milken.

As a result, Giuliani suddenly got involved at this time, but what was surprising was that this guy got involved in this case not for anything else, but to take the credit for himself. For this reason, Giuliani even threatened the investigator on the phone that if you dare to sue Michael Milken in advance, the Southern District of New York Attorney's Office will join Milken's side.

Whether it was Giuliani or Milken, they were both local bosses in New York. The most important thing was that Giuliani was already well-known in the American political and legal circles at that time. Therefore, under his threat, the investigator had to hand over the hosting of the case to Giuliani. This led to Milken's victory of being convicted by Giuliani next year, that is, in 1989.

This matter was exposed by the Democrats in 2008. Also exposed was Giuliani's irregularities in the Ivan Polsky case.

Ivan Polsky, a Wall Street financial tycoon, made a fortune in the stock market crash. According to US law, he should have been sentenced to at least 25 years in prison. However, he only paid a $100 million fine and served three and a half years in prison before being released with honor. He even saved half of his fortune. Even if Polsky agreed to report the other five people for insider trading and made some contributions, he could not be let off so easily.

It would be strange if there was no trick involved, but at the time no one could figure out the reason. But in 2008, 20 years later, the case was uncovered.

It turned out that just before Persky was prosecuted, Giuliani's wife suddenly had more than ten seven-digit deposits in her personal account. Giuliani's wife ran a jewelry company, but it was not large. At the time, these ten deposits did not attract anyone's attention, and very few people knew about it.

But once the Democrats want to target someone, let alone private accounts, they can even find out what brand of diapers you wore as a child.

Just when Giuliani was running for president, Wells Fargo revealed that there were more than ten additional deposits into Giuliani's wife's personal account that year. And based on the situation of the jewelry company run by Giuliani's wife, even if it was a year-end dividend, Giuliani's wife could not have received so many dividends.

Although the incident was eventually dropped, its exposure brought Giuliani a near-catastrophic disaster, and ultimately led to Giuliani's withdrawal from the presidential election that year.

Moreover, there were far more things that broke out in 2008 than just these two. Although they were all some irregularities committed by Giuliani when he was a prosecutor, these things combined with the Milken case and the Persky case were enough to bring Giuliani down from being a presidential candidate.
