Ngentsasa yangoLwesihlanu kwiiveki ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, le ndoda izama ukufaka uMartha Stewart ejele yayixhomeke kwisitulo sayo esimdaka ngethambo eofisini yayo edolophini eFederal Courthouse Building e-1 St. Andrews Plaza. Ukusukela ekutyunjweni kwakhe nguGeorge W. Bush njengeGqwetha laseMelika kwiSithili esiseMazantsi eNew York ngoJanuwari 2002, uJames Comey uqokelele irekhodi elinokwenza nokuba ikhola emhlophe ebanda kakhulu iqhume ukubila. NgoJuni ophelileyo, iofisi yakhe itshutshise umphathi olawulayo ohamba ngenqwelomoya u-ImClone, uSam Waksal, owagwetywa kule veki iminyaka esixhenxe entolongweni. Kwinyanga elandelayo, i-ofisi kaMnu. Comey yanciphisa umsunguli we-Adelphia uJohn Rigas noonyana bakhe, uTimothy noMichael, abaphathi bangaphambili benkampani; Batyholwa ngoSeptemba. Ngo-Agasti, wabamba uScott Sullivan, owayesakuba ligosa eliyintloko lezezimali eWorldCom. Kungekudala, uMnu. Comey wayebhekisele kwihlobo lowe-2002 njengeHlobo leKhola emhlophe.
Isantya asikayeki. Nge-Epreli, i-ofisi kaMnu. Comey yabamba uFrank Quattrone, oyibhanki yotyalo-mali kwiCredit Suisse First Boston, yokuthintela ubulungisa, ukuphazamisa amangqina kunye nokutshabalalisa ubungqina. Kwaye njengoko ilizwe lisazi ngoku, nge-4 kaJuni umnumzana u-Comey wanikezela ngesimangalo sika-Martha Stewart ngezityholo zelenqe, ukuthintela ubulungisa kunye nobuqhetseba bezokhuseleko. UNks uStewart uthe umsulwa kwezi zityholo. Ethetha ngoNkosazana Stewart kunye nomrhwebi wakhe, uMnu Comey uxelele iintatheli: Ingangumhlaba owahlukileyo ukuba uMartha Stewart noPeter Bacanovic benze nje oko babefundiswe ngabazali babo: thetha inyani.
Njengoko wayehleli eofisini yakhe, isuti yomkhosi wenqanawa kaMnumzana uComey wema ngokuchasene negumbi elingenaludonga lwe-ecru-iofisi eyakhe yahlala ngumtshutshisi ogama linguRudolph Giuliani. Isenokungafani noMnumzana Giuliani ngokwasemzimbeni-umi ngo-6-unyawo-8, enentloko ejiyileyo kunye noncumo olulula noluthandekayo- kodwa umnumzana u-Comey oneminyaka engama-42 ukhumbuza ngaphezulu kwabantu abambalwa Ngeentsuku apho uMnu. Giuliani elandela oonobhanki kunye namahlokondiba ngokuzimisela.
Kwaye njengo Mnu. Giuliani, U-Comey ubona ukwazisa njengesixhobo sakhe. Ngokungafani nabaphuli-mthetho abaqhelekileyo, utshilo, abantu abakhohlakeleyo abanekhola emhlophe bafunda iphepha, kwaye banengqondo ngokwaneleyo yokucinga ngalo. Kwaye, ngokokubona kwabo, isixa esikhulu sokulahlekelwa: ziintsapho, imibutho yealumni, ubulungu beklabhu yelizwe. Ayindophuli intliziyo yam ukuba kukho umfanekiso wommangalelwa onekhola emhlophe ebotshelelwe ngozibopho. Ndiqinisekile ukuba abantu bangathanda ukubona… hayi ukuthelekisa ezi zikhohlisi zeenkampani kunye no-Osama bin Laden, kodwa ndiqinisekile ukuba abantu bangathanda ukubona umfanekiso ka-Osama enxibe isuti enxibe iorenji enamatyathanga.
Ngelixa uNkskz. Stewart esindisiwe kukungabikho kwesidima sababotshiweyo, uMnu Comey wasebenzisa isiNgesi esicacileyo ukuqinisekisa ukuba uluntu luyabazi ubunjani bolwaphulo-mthetho lwakhe. Eli tyala lolwaphulo-mthetho limalunga nokuxoka kwi-F.B.I., uxoka kwi-S.E.C. kwaye uxoka kubatyali mali, wathi kwinkomfa yoonondaba kaJuni 4. Yindlela yokuziphatha engazukunyanyezelwa.
Ngelixa ukuhlala kuka-Mnu Giuliani kwi-ofisi yegqwetha lase-U.S kusenokwenzeka ukuba bekungumbandela wangaphandle, amagqwetha aliqela abona ixesha lika Mnumzana u-Comey njengelinoburhalarhume kune-Rudy kunye neka-Mary Jo White, owayebambe lo msebenzi ukusukela ngo-1993 ukuya ku-2001.
Bathatha indima engqongqo ngokubhekisele kuthethathethwano, eyahlukileyo kunakwindlela yokugqibela kulawulo, utshilo uBobbi Sternheim, iqabane eRochman, Platzer, Fallick, Sternheim, Luca & Pearl. Kubekho utshintsho olwahlukileyo kwimigaqo-nkqubo. Uye wathi ukuthethathethana ngesibheno akuzange kube nzima.
Kutshanje ngentwasahlobo ephelileyo, amanye amagqwetha okukhusela ulwaphulo-mthetho ebekhalaza ngelithi i-ofisi iyaluphungula ulwaphulo-mthetho olwenziwe ngabantu abamhlophe, ngokuka-profesa wezomthetho waseFordham uDan Richman. UMnu. Comey wakhawuleza wayitshabalalisa loo ngcamango.
Kwaqala ukungxola ngelithi mhlawumbi i-ofisi ilahlekelwe kukujolisa kule ndawo ibaluleke kangaka, utshilo uMnu. Richman. Emva koko ubone izityholo zisihla.
UJames Comey wakhulela kusapho olukumgangatho ophakathi eYonkers naseBergen County, N.J. Utata wakhe wayesebenza kumzi mveliso wokuthengisa izindlu nomhlaba; Umama wakhe wayengumcebisi wasekhaya kunye nomcebisi wekhompyuter. Waye kwiKholeji yaseWilliam noMary kwaye wafumana idigri yomthetho kwiYunivesithi yaseChicago. Ngelixa umabhalana weJaji yeSithili sase-US uJohn Walker, wayexakwe ukuba abukele abatshutshisi abancinci baseNew York, uMark Hellerer no-Alan Cohen, bethetha ityala elibandakanya u-Anthony (Fat Tony) Salerno.
Yandothusa indlela ababelunge ngayo, nokuba babebancinci kangakanani, kwaye ngoku ndandifuna kangakanani ukuyenza ngobomi bam, utshilo.
Umnumzana u-Comey weza kwi-Ofisi yegqwetha lase U.S. KwiNgingqi yase Mzantsi ye-New York ngo-1987, waphakama waba ngu-Sekela Mphathi we-Criminal Division. Kwakuyixesha apho uRudy Giuliani wayeneMafia ebalekayo, kwaye uMnu Comey wenyuka waya kulwa no-Bruce Cutler owayenobuqhophololo kutshutshiso olubandakanya usapho lolwaphulo-mthetho lwaseGambino. Utyibilika njengosilika, utshilo uMnu Cutler. Kodwa iimeko zehlokondiba yayiyinxalenye yesenzo.
Kwiminyaka ye-80, xa ndandilapha kuqala, sasineentengiso ezininzi ngaphakathi, utshilo uMnu Comey. U-Ivan Boesky, uninzi lwamanyundululu abandakanya ukuthengisa ngaphakathi, kunye ne-shenanigans ezinxulumene no-Drexel Burnham, Michael Milken-amanyundululu amakhulu, nangona kungekho nto ngokomyalelo, ngokubhekisele kuluntu, into esiyenzileyo kwihlobo le-White Collar. Ngo-1996, waya kusebenza njengeGqwetha lase-US kwiMpuma yeSithili saseVirginia, apho ngo-2001 watshutshisa ityala lokuqhushumisa kwabanqolobi e-Khobar Towers, elibandakanya ukuhlaselwa kweziko lomkhosi wase-US eSaudi Arabia, nalapho amajoni ali-19 aseMelika abulawa khona. . Wafumana izityholo zabagrogrisi abali-14 abarhanelwa.
Kungekudala emva koko, i-White House yabiza kwaye yamnika umsebenzi wakhe wangoku.
Yayiyibholiti nje iphela eblowu. Andizange ndicinge ngayo, andizange ndifake isicelo, andizange ndihoye, watsho. Umfazi wakhe uPatrice weza ekhaya, wabeka intloko ezandleni zakhe kwaye, nangona wayethiyile iNew York, wathi: ngekhe uthi hayi.
Khange ndikhe ndicinge ukwala, utshilo uMnu. Comey, zombini ngenxa yohlobo lomsebenzi kwaye ngoba-ndiyazi ukuba kuvakala ngathi kuyakhwankqisa, kodwa ndizibona ndithanda ilizwe, kwaye ke ukuba uMongameli undicela ukuba ndiyenze le nto, ndiyahamba ukuyenza.
Inani likaRudolph Giuliani lisabonakala likhulu eofisini.
Into endiyithandayo ngoRudy kukuba amajoni ahlala evakalelwa kukuba usemva kwakho, utshilo. URudy wayenamandla aqinisekileyo awenze ukuba ube mnandi ngokwenene. Yinto endizamile ukuyikopa ngokungenazintloni.
Ngazo zonke iiakhawunti, isimilo siphezulu. Owayesakuba ngugxa wakhe, uRichard Appel, owaqhubeka nokusebenza njengombhali kwi-The Simpsons, waphawula ii-liners zika Mnu. Comey enkundleni. Uhlekisa ngokulula njengababhali endandisebenza nabo eSimpsons, utshilo uMnu. Appel. Kwaye uburharha kwinkundla yamatyala, xa busetyenziswe ngokufanelekileyo, sisixhobo esinamandla ngokumangalisayo.
Umnumzana Appel uthe ukhumbula ixesha enkundleni apho uMnu Comey wayengumncedisi otshutshisa ityala leMafia. Ummangalelwa wayebanjiwe ekhasethini. Kwakukho iitephu ezininzi zeengcingo kunye naye zisithi, ‘Heyi, Jimmy, unayo le nto? Ukuthula, ukuthula-asikwazi ukuthetha ngezinto. Ndiza kukutsalela umnxeba ngefowuni ebhatalwayo. ’Lo mfo wayefile nje emanzini, kodwa wema. Ilawulwe [kwidilesi] hayi inye, kodwa… ingxelo nganye enetyala. Ndiyakhumbula ukuba uJim wathi, ‘Ungarhangqa ukuya kwelona-10 likufutshane ukuba uyafuna, kodwa zingaphi iiyure ekuthathileyo ukuze uqambe eli bali?’ Abamangaleli babebhomboloza.
Asinguye wonke umntu ohlekayo. Buza uTony Perkins, owayesakuba ngumhleli wephephancwadi iRed Herring elingasasebenziyo kunye nomhlobo kaFrank Quattrone, umgcini-bhanki weCredit Suisse obanjiweyo ngo-Epreli.
Ukwimeko apho aba bantu bangathathi ntweni beye bacaphula-ngaphandle kokucaphula imali, kwaye kunyanzelekile ukuba la magqwetha aphume aye kufuna umoni. ‘Singabeka bani ityala lokunyuka komphefumlo kubutyebi?’ Utshilo uMnu Perkins. Umtyholwa ngokwendalo ngabanini beebhanki zotyalo-mali abazithatha ezi nkampani esidlangalaleni, kodwa ngaba sisiphoso sabanini beebhanki zotyalo-mali?… UFrank Quattrone wayengoyena bhanki uphambili kubuchwephesha obuphezulu kule minyaka ili-15 idlulileyo. Xa la magqwetha ayephaya phandle ezama ukufumana umntwana wabo ipowusta kwi-bubble ye-Intanethi, olona khetho lwalucacile yayinguFrank Quattrone.
Sisavalela amaqhetseba kuba, ndiyaxolisa ukutsho, kuhlala kukho abakhohlakeleyo kwindawo enekhola emhlophe, utshilo uMnu Comey. Uthelekise i-bubble ephezulu eqhekekileyo ngo-2000 ukuya kumjelo ophumayo. Kwaye xa umsinga uphuma ngokukhawuleza ngoluhlobo, uveza wonke umntu oze.
Uthe ngoku, ubuqhetseba be-accounting bukhulu-ukusuka kwiivenkile zobugcisa ukuya kwiibhanki ezinkulu zeWall Street.
Abantu bajija iincwadi, utshilo uMnu Comey. Xa ishishini lingasebenzi, zimbini kuphela iindlela zolawulo. Inye kukuxelela abantu malunga nayo-kwimeko apho unokugxothwa, ixabiso lesitokhwe sakho liyehla, kwaye zonke iinketho zesitokhwe ziye azabi nto kwaye unokuphulukana nendlu yakho yesine okanye yesihlanu. Okanye, hlanganisa neencwadi. Abantu abaninzi bathetha inyani…. Injongo yethu apha kukubamba abo bantu bajija ngeencwadi, ukubabetha ngokwaneleyo ukuba kwixesha elizayo xa umntu ejongene neso sigqibo, isigqeba esinemiceli mngeni ngokuziphatha esinokulingwa ukuba sihambe ngendlela engeyiyo siya kucinga: 'Andifuni ukuya kwipokey. '
Ulwaphulo-mthetho olumhlophe-ikhola, utshilo uMnu. Comey, kunzima ukutshutshisa kunolunye ulwaphulo-mthetho kuba ukuthunyelwa kwityala lekhola emhlophe kungqina oko kusentloko yomntu. Ekupheleni kosuku, nokuba kunzima kangakanani ukuthengiselana, siza kuyiqonda. Kwaye umba awunguye 'Ngubani obandakanyekayo kwintengiselwano?' Okanye 'Kwenzeke ntoni?' - umba kukuba babecinga ntoni xa besenza oko. Iimeko zeziyobisi, umzekelo, zichasene ngqo. Ukuba umntu ugqobhoze kwigumbi lehotele obukulo kwaye kukho ikhilogremu ye-heroin etafileni, usengxakini enkulu kwaye awunakukwazi ukuthi, 'Umcwangcisi wam wezimali wayecinga ukuba ndinako.' ubuqhetseba behlabathi, kuba siza kwazi ukuba ngubani owayekhona kwaye ngubani owenze ntoni, kodwa ezokhuseleko ziya kuba: 'bendicinga kulungile Igqwetha lam lindixelele ukuba lilungile. kwaye umgcini zincwadi wam wandixelela ukuba kulungile.
Uthe usebenzisa amaqhinga afanayo asetyenziswa ngabazali ebantwaneni. Ubusaya kujonga izihlangu zakho xa bekufanele ukuba ujonge unyoko, ubalekile, ufihle izinto-nantoni na enjalo ebonisa ukuba uyazi ukuba wenza okungalunganga. Kwilizwe elikhulileyo, uMnu. Comey uqhubeke, sijonga izinto ezinje ngamaxwebhu okutshiza, ukubaleka nokuxoka. Kwaye njengoko benditshilo amatyeli aliqela, i-imeyile yayisisipho esikhulu senkulungwane yama-20 kunyanzeliso lomthetho, kuba ayipheli, ngaphandle kwento abantu abayicingayo. UMnu. Comey wathi ufundile ii-imeyile ezibandakanya imigca efana nale: Ndiyathemba ukuba i-S.E.C. ayifumani ukuba senza ntoni apha.
Xa ubona izinto ezinjalo, oko kukunceda uqonde ukuba kuqhubeka ntoni ngaphakathi kwentloko yomntu othile, utshilo uMnu. Baye bathande ukuba namagqwetha alungileyo ahlawulwa imali eninzi.
