Assault on Wall Street Page #4
I'm sorry, I don't know
what else to tell you.
You could declare bankruptcy,
a lot of people do that.
F*** you.
That's a fair response,
I suppose.
Hey!
Hey.
You at the bank?
Yeah.
Well what was it about?
Like I said, don't worry
about it.
All right?
Mmmhmm.
Good.
Ahh... I knew you'd have no
problems coming up with this.
I got it from a friend.
It will and then I'll see if
I can find other investors
who got burned on this
and put together a
collective lawsuit.
Collective ball scratching.
What's that?
It's just a joke.
Not funny, I guess.
Don't underestimate the
power of a large group
when it comes to
asking for damages.
I hope so.
So what do I do about this
letter demanding 60 grand?
I'll contact the other party,
I will let them know
I am your attorney
and that you will
not be paying.
You know, there may be
another way out of this.
You take the fall on
this but it could end
all this drama for
you instantly.
Would you be willing to write
off your initial investment
and walk away if these guys
let you out of the 60,000?
It's something you
should consider.
the real estate market
bounces back.
If for some reason I can get
the court to grant
injunctive relief to
stop these guys,
years of interest on
this claim against you.
This motion, it's gonna
work right?
Most likely, but nothing
in law is for certain.
I'm just offering
this as an option
but if they're willing to let
you play ball and back off,
then you can put it
all behind you.
It'd be nice, huh?
Okay, don't think
about it for too long,
the time to act is now.
You just paid me, I can either
file the complaint as planned
or I can try and negotiate
directly with them
but I need to do one
or the other.
I need a day.
Half a day would be better.
All right, I uh...
I got a meeting
with the assistant
district attorney today.
Oh yeah, good.
I'll put that in the letter.
Thanks.
Let me know what happens.
I'm sure I double checked
the schedule when you called
doesn't have time in his
schedule for you today.
I'm sorry, I can leave him
a message if you'd like.
Well um, maybe you can answer
a few questions for me.
I'm afraid that I wouldn't
be any help with anything.
I'm not even a legal secretary,
I'm just an assistant.
Just the assistant,
that's your excuse?
Do you have any idea
what's going on here?
Have you heard of my name
at all?
No, I'm sorry sir.
No, I don't.
You haven't.
Myra, coffee please.
I need to speak to you.
Mr. Marwood!
Mr. Marwood is very busy.
Please, I'm gonna have
to ask you to leave.
I need to speak to him.
Don't make me have
to call security.
I am security,
you f***ing b*tch.
Get your f***ing hands
off me.
So... how did it go today?
The bastard didn't have time
for me.
You had an appointment, man.
Yeah.
You gonna be okay?
You have reached the voicemail
of Patterson Law Group,
please leave a message
after the tone.
These bastards, they never
answer their f***ing phones.
Hey uh... about the money,
seriously...
don't even worry
about paying me back.
It ain't no thing but
a chicken wing, man.
I appreciate that.
I've done everything,
I went to the DA,
I went to the lawyer...
f***ing banks.
The system's rigged
motherf***er!
Come on, you know that sh*t.
Yeah.
Yeah it is.
Let's go get some alcohol,
make the pain go away.
Perhaps the best example
of how this all works
is in the AIG bailout.
When AIG went bankrupt...
Listen lady, I've left him
a ton of messages, a ton.
He's the guy in charge
of prosecuting
the brokerage houses,
right?
Yes, that's one of
many cases.
Well I need to speak to him
urgently, like right now.
100 cents on the dollar was paid
to the Goldman Sachs debtors.
When a firm goes bankrupt
you don't expect
to get a hundred percent
of those dollars
because it's a bankrupt firm,
it can't pay its debts.
Thank you.
You can expect to get maybe 50
cents on the dollar, but no...
the American taxpayer
pays Goldman Sachs
100 cents on the dollar
and all those...
were also secretary
of the treasury.
The occupy Wall
Street protests,
a few thousand people,
I do not understand
why the American people are
not up in arms about this.
These are criminal acts,
this is blatant fraud
and conflict of interest.
There's no government
investigation,
charges have been laid,
one's even looking into it!
And yet all the information
is there in the open to see.
These are criminals walking
in our midst.
And now the banks want
the same piece of faith
that we have in our government.
The banks have been
trading with ideas,
they just have derivatives and
swaps that move back and forth.
This has to stop,
this can't go on.
We have to underpin our
dealings with actual wealth,
not pieces of paper
that are simply ideas
from rich men.
Hey baby.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
You got treatment this
morning, right?
I know, I cancelled it.
Our cards, they declined
last time and the...
the debt people, they've
been calling the house,
so I called the bank and...
I know what's going on.
We're broke, aren't we?
We had all of our money
in that fund and it's...
it's gone, isn't it?
Jim...
Jim, it's okay.
I understand, you... you
were just protecting me.
It'll be okay.
I'm gonna fix this.
Oh God, this has been
so hard on you.
You're getting gray hair and
wrinkles all because of me.
It's gonna be all right,
you're gonna be all right.
No, I'm not.
But it's okay.
I just, I really... I wanted us
to have a baby.
You know I know that he
would look just like you
and I couldn't wish
for anything more.
Baby, don't say that.
We're gonna sell the house...
Jim...
It'll be okay, it's...
I'm calling my lawyer.
Uh, Jim Baxford
for Mr. Patterson.
One moment please.
I uh, I got a letter here saying
they're gonna foreclose on us
and uh, the bank's
cutting us off
all because of this
bullshit real estate.
You offered to waive
my investment
if I knocked off the 60 grand.
but you didn't give me
an answer in time.
If I could've gotten
to them earlier...
I called you back
the same f***ing day.
At the end of a long
Friday after 4 PM,
if I remember correctly.
That means I didn't get back to
them until Monday or Tuesday,
What about this motion
you filed, the relief thing?
The broker you invested
with went bankrupt
their assets were purchasd
by another company,
there's no one to file a
motion against right now
since the broker's in
bankruptcy you need to hire
a bankruptcy attorney to lift a
thing called an automatic stay,
which really is a pain
in the ass.
What about the real estate
company, what about that?
Well they're also under the
protection of bankruptcy court
It's part of the bankruptcy
law that says you can't take
any action against a
company in bankruptcy
without first hiring another
lawyer and getting permission
