Chapter 643: Chapter 324: Human Rights Organization, It’s Your Turn to Act!
According to his usual routine, Murdoch would arrive at the company in the morning and, after dealing with a series of matters, generally stay no longer than six hours.
But today, he had been at the company since 9 AM and stayed until midnight. Despite his efforts, he still couldn’t reverse the downward trend in the stock market.
Following yesterday, the market value of the dia company had evaporated another 9 percentage points throughout the day, totaling a 17 percentage point drop over two days, surpassing the 15 percentage point drop when the last incident broke.
However, whether it was Murdoch or those paying attention to this incident, they were all too aware that as long as the FBI didn’t release the people in custody or declare the case closed, the stock price of the dia company would continue to plumt, and its market value would continue to evaporate.
Sure enough, right after the stock market opened the next day, the dia company’s stock price continued to drop uncontrollably.
While the entire Arica watched the drama unfold, the FBI made a new move by releasing a tape, which, upon release, directly shocked Arica.
...
The content was a conversation between a 9/11 victim’s family mber and a friend, filled with words of sadness and complaint, stirring sympathy in anyone who listened.
But it didn’t take long for the public to beco enraged.
According to the statent released by the FBI investigation team, they had obtained the tape from an employee in the dia company’s wiretapping departnt.
Didn’t this further confirm the existence of the dia company’s wiretapping activities?
“Damn dia company, didn’t they just hold a press conference yesterday clarifying that they didn’t wiretap 9/11 victims’ families? What now?”
“Yesterday was just an ambiguous docunt, but today, it’s a real tape. dia company, how will you explain this?”
“Damn dia company! Their only reason for wiretapping the calls of 9/11 victims’ families was to capitalize on this hot issue and gain massive amounts of traffic and attention, greedy capitalists!”
“That’s right, these blood-sucking capitalists should be dealt with by Director David, making them pay a heavy price!”
“…”
Upon the release of the tape, the entire internet was imdiately filled with curses.
Many people also saw the purpose behind the dia company wiretapping the 9/11 victims’ families—it was because 9/11 was drawing a lot of attention.
Even the smallest actions and statents of these family mbers, once published, could attract trendous public interest and response.
And the dia company wiretapped them just to gain massive traffic and benefits.
Thus, while condemning the dia company, many in Arica also launched broadsides against all capitalists, hoping Director David would handle these people as he had with the Sackler family and the Disney family previously.
…
“Fake Yau, Fake Yau, Fake Yau!”
In the dia company’s office, Murdoch roared furiously three tis upon learning about the tape the FBI had just released.
Today, as the stock market opened, he tried everything he could to stabilize it, but it was of little effect, and while he was already overwheld, the FBI had stabbed him in the back.
At his advanced age of 90, facing such multiple blows, he was truly struggling to cope.
But thinking that if he didn’t handle the situation well, not only would he lose his current position, but he might also be utterly disgraced, he forced himself to calm down.
After so thought, he said to the secretary standing in front of him, “There are thousands of 9/11 victims. Isn’t it normal for us to have obtained a few recordings of the victims’ families? Have Marion prepare to clarify this matter. We got this recording from other channels, not from wiretapping!”
Although the release of this tape did indeed increase the public attack on their dia company, and the stock market’s confidence in them continued to decline,
But just this tape alone was still not enough to pin the cri of wiretapping on their dia company.
After all, the number of 9/11 victims was too large, and for their dia company, a leading global dia group, obtaining one, ten, or even twenty recordings was normal.
So, he felt sowhat confident about holding a press conference to clarify.
Half an hour later, following Murdoch’s instructions, the dia company’s board mbers held a press conference to clarify the recording.
But despite his vigorous denials at the press conference, as more and more evidence of the dia company’s wiretapping surfaced, the online attack did not diminish much.
As for the stock market, the dia company continued to be downtrodden, with nurous individual investors desperately selling off their stocks to avoid further losses.
Ti passed quickly, and three days went by in a blink.
In the last two days, the FBI investigation team had released a new recording daily, continually attacking the dia company, and today, they had directly released a docunt.
This docunt implicated the dia company in bribing officials, manipulating public opinion, false advertising, and several other charges.
In these days, guided by so many pieces of evidence and recordings, the public had already grown extrely discontent with the dia company, and the release of this docunt involving more than a dozen charges was like adding fuel to the fire, further increasing the public’s rage by threefold.
