Thereupon, the following proceedings were had:

SCOTT W. ROTHSTEIN,

acknowledged having been duly sworn to tell the truth

and testified upon his oath as follows:

THE WITNESS:

I do.

DIRECT EXAMINATION (SCOTT W. ROTHSTEIN)


BY MR. BERGA:

11

Good morning, Scott.

12

Good morning.

13

My name is Chris Berga.

I'm with the law firm

14

of Lydecker Diaz and I'm here on behalf of Michael

15

Szafranski.

16

Good morning.

17

Obviously, we're going to continue on with our

18

allotment of time.

19

couple of times.

So I'll try to bounce around a


Just bear with me.

20

Okay.

21

When did you first meet Mr. Szafranski?

22

I don't know the time frame.

I believe it was

23

sometime in 2008 when the hedge funds asked him to be

24

the third-party verifier.

25

Who introduced you to Mike?

0e2a83c9-4e45-4b8f-a0dd-2f222e05088e

Page 1396

The exact person, I don't recall,

specifically, at this moment; somebody from the hedge

funds.

And whose idea was it to get Szafranski

involved?

To my knowledge, it was the hedge funds.

And when you say "hedge funds," can you be

8
9

specific?
A

I'll refer to them as Centurion, Platinum and

10

Level 3, although I don't think Level 3 was involved at

11

that point in time.

12
13

Do you know who specifically from Centurion

Platinum requested Mr. Szafranski be involved?

14

I have a pretty good idea.

15

Can you tell me?

16

Sure.

Someone in the back room, meaning, to

17

my knowledge, Mr. Jedwab, had suggest we get a

18

third-party verifier.

19
20

Jack Simony subsequently came to Mr. Preve and


I and said, the guys want a third-party verifier.

21
22
23

Jack's initial statement to me was it could be


anybody.
Quickly thereafter -- and this should be clear

24

in the emails, quickly thereafter they said it can't be

25

anybody; this is who we want to use.

0e2a83c9-4e45-4b8f-a0dd-2f222e05088e

Page 1397

And so that would have come to me, likely --

most likely, through Jack Simony, because he was the,

quote, unquote, hand-holder at that point in time.

He was the hand-holder on behalf of the fund?

To my knowledge, as far as I was concerned,

Do you recall the first time you actually met

Szafranski?

I do not.

10

Do you recall where you met Szafranski the

11

first time?

12

I do not.

13

When you found out about Szafranski and his

yes.

14

involvement at the request of the funds, what was it

15

that you did?

16

Initially, I freaked out.

17

Why?

18

Because I didn't want anyone doing any type of

19

verification if I didn't have to have anyone doing any

20

type of verification; and it seemed to me, okay, from

21

the landscape that I was dealing in, that more eyes --

22

the more eyes, the worse it is for what we were doing.

23

So I didn't want anyone else looking at it.

24

Okay.

25

Initially, yes, absolutely, I was.

So were you opposed to it?

recall a couple of conversations where I voiced my

opposition to Jack; but beyond that, no, not to my

knowledge.

I may have dealt with someone else, but I

When you say "Frank"...

I can only give you approximate language.

9
10
11
12
13

can't tell you exactly because it was too long ago.


Q

Give me what the approximate language would

be; do you remember?


A

What the hell are they trying to do, this is

going to create problems for us, something around that.

14

What did you say to Jack?

15

I don't recall.

16

same lines.

It would have been along the

17

I would have pointed out -- if I did, in fact,

18

say something to Jack, I would have pointed out the fact

19

that he said, originally, we could use anybody and then

20

specifically brought somebody in; but I don't have a

21

specific recollection.

22

Now, when they brought Szafranksi in to do the

23

verifications, what was it that Szafranski was supposed

24

to do?

25

He was supposed to initially -- I seem to have

I could best give you what he was ultimately able to do.

You'd

Who have been the individuals or entities that

would have established what Szafranski was required to

do?

It would have been what I was calling "the

10

Murray entities."

11

entities would have done it.

I don't know which one of the

12

13

mean to you?

14

Platinum, Centurion and Level 3.

15

Now, was Szafranski, was he required to verify

When you say "Murray entities," who does that

16

that the settlement agreement contained the signature

for both the plaintiff and the defendant?

18

He was.

19

When you say "ultimately," why do you make

20
21

Ultimately, he was, yes.

that distinction?
A

Because I seem to recall there being different

22

levels of due diligence before it got to what I would

23

consider the maximum due diligence by Szafranski.

signature and defendant's signature.

3

When you say "far in," what do you mean by

"far in"?

I can't tell you.

Without seeing emails and

the like, it's impossible for me to place it in time

frame.

There was too much going on.


When you use the term "far in," are you

talking about timing?

Timing.

10

Now, that would have been timing of the entire

11

scheme or timing of Szafranski's involvement?

12

13

Timing of Szafranski's involvement.


It was like a polishing.

They had given him

14

an initial job to do; and I think, as they saw potential

15

loopholes, potential things they were missing, they were

16

cleaning it up as they went.

17
18

Okay.

When you say "they," you continue to

refer to the Murray entities?

I'm referring to whoever was calling the shots

been Simony, or who would it have been, to the best of

your belief?

I believed it was Jedwab

and Kalter; then Nordlicht and Glass, to a little bit of

a lesser extent.

You said Nordlicht?

Nordlicht and Glass, to a lesser extent.

So it's your testimony that they would have

been the ones calling the shots as to what the

verification process entailed?

to me to be.

10
11
12

It's my testimony that that's what it appeared

I have no idea what was actually going on


behind closed doors.
Q

Now, was Szafranski also required to verify

13

the daily transfer agreement, changes that contained a

14

signature for the plaintiff?

15

I would have to see the emails.

I would have

16

to see the emails exactly.

17

all of the documents to make sure that documents were

18

executed.

19

He was supposed to look at

Now, was he also required to verify that the

20

settlement amount had been wired to the purported

21

defendant's trust account?

22

Yes, he was.

23

Was he also required to verify that the

24

purported plaintiff had received the amount funded by

25

the investor?

Page 1402

2
3
4

Yes.

The wire went out to the plaintiff;

that's correct.
Q

Was he also required to verify that the

balances were, in fact, in your firm's accounts?

He was.

You listed about four or five things.

7
8
9

Was he

required to verify any other piece of information?


A

At various points in time, he was advised by

the hedge funds to do follow-up.

He was -- at one point

10

in time, he was supposed to go in the court files, do

11

some kind of search to see if he could find any of the

12

plaintiffs' names or defendants.

13

There was one point in time when he was asked

14

to see if he could find a link between the plaintiffs

15

and defendants, and he made up some nonsensical story

16

that he told back to the hedge funds that he had, in

17

fact, found a link between several of the plaintiffs and

18

several of the defendants; which, of course, is

19

impossible because, at the very least, there were no

20

real plaintiffs.

21
22
23

He, additionally, at certain points in time -what else was he looking at?
He was supposed to try to get involved in one

24

of the negotiations.

25

That may have been, actually, for Damson.

I don't remember who this was for.

0e2a83c9-4e45-4b8f-a0dd-2f222e05088e

Page 1403

But there was a point in time when he was

supposed to try to listen to some of what I was doing,

and he did, in fact, tell them that he did.

4
5
6

So that's all I remember at this moment.


Q

Okay.

When you say "negotiations," what

negotiations are you talking about?

Negotiations for the settlement?

Yes.

And that would have been with who?

10
11

Who would

you have been negotiating with.


A

12

I don't even know who it was.


I think, my recollection is -- from the emails

13

was, that it was a defense lawyer, that he was actually

14

supposed to be listening to the negotiations.

15
16
17
18

Now, did there ever come a point in time that

Szafranski went to your office to do the verifications?


A

He always came to my office to do the

verifications.

19

They were always done at your office?

20

When was he was really verifying, sure.

21

As opposed to when he wasn't verifying?

22

Well, there was a point in time when he was

23

really attempting to verify.

24

time when he was, what I'll call "psuedo-verifying": he

25

wasn't really verifying anything.

Then there was a point in

0e2a83c9-4e45-4b8f-a0dd-2f222e05088e

Page 1404
1

Then there was a point in time when he stopped

showing up at the office.

he did show up and times when he didn't.

Okay.

I mean, there were times when

So let's go back to something you said.

There was a point in time when he was attempting to

verify, and there was a point in time when he was doing

psuedo-verification, as you call it.

Mhm-mhm.

So how do you distinguish between attempting

10
11

That's correct.

to verify and psuedo-verification?


A

The difference is depending upon what he knew

12

at that moment; the difference is, is whether he knew

13

there was a fraud going on or whether he didn't.

14

So when Frank was brought in to verify the

15

purported settlements by the hedge funds, did he know

16

that there was a fraud going on?

17

Initially, no, not to my knowledge.

18

Did you do anything to prevent Szafranski from

19

knowing that the settlements were fictitious?

20

In the beginning, sure.

21

What did you do?

22

I used a -- we had the same fake TD website

23

that we had created early on, took him to the bank, did

24

the show for him there.

25

You took him to the Weston branch?

Yes.

I want to make sure there is nothing

else we did.

We also showed him documents, but I don't know

You can tell that the signatures are the

11

But that's basically what we did.

12

And I, of course, discussed cases with him and

13

the like.

14

15

talk about?

16

Just the general nature of the case.

17

So from the moment you met Szafranski, did you

18

And when you discussed cases, what did you

ever provide him with any benefits?

19

From the moment?

20

Yes.

21

Early on I would have done the same thing with

22

him that I had done -- I did, in fact, do the same thing

23

with him that I had done with innocent investors.

is entertain them.

of course, escalated later; but early on, that's what it

was.

Did you ever give him any cash?

Early on, no.

Later on, though?

Later on -- the only time I recall giving him

cash was in a strip club.

So --

10

Everything was done by check.

11

Did you give him cash in the strip club?

Yes.

What was that for?

14

A stripper.

Ever buy him any drinks?

Ever?

Yeah.

In the strip club or in general?

Anywhere.

How about any meals?

Again, I would be guessing.

You ever take him to any sporting events,

games?

Sure.

How many?

You'd have to check the records.

10

you for certain.


Q

Over 100.

Dozens.

I can't tell

Over a dozen, I'm certain.

Now, was anybody else present with you when

11

you took him to these games or bought him these meals or

12

bought him these drinks?

13

Yes.

14

Who would have been present?

At the games, you'd have to look at the list.

The list exists at the -- in the firm's records as to

17

who was coming to the Dolphins games.

I can start.

My wife, Kimberly.

Ted Morse was there every -- every time, I

think, just about, that Mike was there.

Ron Pecou, from time to time.

And this would have been at Dolphin games?

Hang on.

I'm still going.

Yeah.

Ira Sochet was there on at least one occasion

when Mike was there.

Who else did we invite?

10
11

You know I invited -- Frank Adderley may have


been there when he was there.

12
13

These are Dolphins games.

You have to look at the pictures from the


game.

We frequently took pictures.

14

Amy Howard may have a better recollection than

15

I do, but there were lists that were circulated before

16

the game as to who we were taking.

17

16 tickets in our suite, and then we generally purchased

18

an additional four to six additional suite passes, so it

19

was a very large crowd.

20

Because you have got

There was a time when Gil Kalter came.

I'm

21

certain that Mr. Szafranski was there when Gil was

there.

How about any fundraisers or political events,

did you take him to any of those?


A

Yes.

Is there anybody that would have been with you

when you took him to a political event?


A

Likely hundreds of people.

You have to look

at an event list.
Q

Well, I understand that, but people that he

took with him?


A

Most of the time I was throwing the event, so

you'd have to look at the event list.


Q

You can't recall any event in particular,

though?
A

I mean, we could be here all day if I do this.


The Alex Sink event he came to.

I remember

seeing the picture not that long ago.


Again, you look at the donor list and who was
there, that will tell you, instead of having me guess.
He was at one of the McCain events; again,
same thing.

The easiest way for you to track it would be

22

to take a look and see who he wrote checks to and then

look at the guest list.

Yes.

Myself.

22

This is assuming they're going to tell the

going to say.

Anybody else?

Just give me a moment.

If these people told the truth, they would be

able to tell you that he was in, to some extent.

They

might not be able to tell you specific knowledge.

It

would be Preve, Ted Morse, David Boden, Irene Stay, Stu

Rosenfeldt.

9
10
11

That's all I recall at the moment.

There may

be more.
Q

So it's your testimony, sir, that each of

12

these individuals that you listed -- Preve, Morse,

13

Boden, Irene Stay, Stuart Rosenfeldt, each of these

14

individuals knew that Szafranski knew that the

15

settlements were fictitious?

16

No.

If you listen to my answer, I said, knew

17

that there was some kind of fraud going on; I don't know

18

the extent of their knowledge.

19
20
21
22
23

So they knew that Szafranski knew that there

was some kind of fraud going on?


A

They knew that Szafranski was involved in a

fraud with me.


Q

Did you -- let's take it -- for each of the

24

individuals that you listed, same question:

25

ever have any discussions with any of these individuals

Did you

regarding what Szafranski purportedly knew?

With Boden, yes.

When did that happen?

Hang on a second.

Do you want the list or did

you want -- I don't know --

ahead.

Boden, Preve, Rosenfeldt, Morse.

But not with Irene?

10

Hang on.

11

I'm sorry.

You want to give me the list?

I'm thinking.

Hang on a second.

I had conversations with Irene that should

12

have indicated to her that he was involved.

13

I'll say Irene, also.

14
15
16

Go

So let's start with Preve.

So, yeah,

What did you

discuss with Preve regarding Szafranski's knowledge?


A

The only thing that I specifically recall

17

discussing with Frank is towards the middle to end of

18

2009, meaning middle of the year up until the time that

19

the Ponzi scheme exploded, at the end of October, Preve

20

and I had several conversations where we were discussing

21

whether or not we would have a problem with Szafranski

22

at any level if the thing did blow up.

23

Frank and I also used to joke around about the

24

fact that Szafranski was making a ridiculous amount of

25

money and sometimes we couldn't even get him to come to

the office to do the, quote, unquote, verification.

Does that finish your answer?

My recollection is, is that there are some

emails that indicate that Szafranski was in the know,

also; but I would have to see those emails to tell you.

At this moment, that's all I recall.

I want to go back to something that you said

that you discussed with Preve regarding when he would be

a problem.

10
11

When you say "a problem," what did you mean?


A

Well, if you take a look at the email traffic

12

between Frank and I, there are at least semi-regular

13

discussions between Frank and I about particular problem

14

issues that would come up with regard to trust account

15

balances, auditors and the like.

16

conversations I had with Frank where we were discussing

17

who we could bring, for example, to meet with Larry

18

Rovin, the auditor for Bekkedam and for Ballamor.

19

And there were several

And Szafranski was considered to be a solid

20

proponent of what we were doing, that he would be able

21

to pull it off if he needed to meet with the auditors to

22

explain discrepancies and the like.

23
24
25

And this was at the middle to late '09 when

the scheme was blowing up?


A

The scheme was blowing up at the end of '09.

It would have been maybe a little earlier; but, again, I

would be guessing.

Morse?

Okay.

What discussions did you have with

The discussions I had with Morse circled

around the amount of money I was paying Szafranski.

There were times when Mr. Szafranski was out

with Mr. Morse and I, whether it be a strip club or

dinner or something, and Ted used to joke around about

10

the fact:

11

tab?

You know, is he going to pick up the tab?

12
13

I said, I don't know.

I'm paying the guy

15

I mean, is Mike ever going to pick up the

16

Oh, is he

That type of stuff.

And there were also occasions where I told --

17

and where I told Ted not to worry about Mike when it

18

came to what he knew and didn't know, because Mike was

19

frequently sitting at the table with us when we were

20

having discussions of a -- at least a semi-private

21

nature.

22

Sitting at the table with you and Ted Morse?

23

Yes.

24

And you had discussions -- as Mike was

25

sitting, you'd be discussing parts of the fraud, parts

of the scheme?
A

No.

I would be discussing other things that I

was doing on behalf of Morse.


Q

Such as?

Why would Morse be concerned that he was at

the table?

Morse would be concerned he was at the table

because, from time to time, Morse and I would discuss

things.

For example, there was some things going on

10

with his father, with Ted's dad, okay, and there were

11

times when these conversations came up when Szafranski

12

was at the table with us.

13

Szafranski -- whenever we came downstairs --

14

you have to understand, Szafranski had an office in my

15

office.

16

was heading down to Bova to go have my cocktails with

17

friends, me, Ted, for a cigar, Szafranski was with us.

18

So there came a point in time that whenever I

And I think Ted was getting a little bit

19

annoyed that Szafranski was with us constantly.

20

regularly had to tell Ted, don't worry about it,

21

Szafranski is a good guy.

Other than that, I don't recall any

as yours or in your office?

I don't recall, specifically.

regard to the account balances and the like, that I

specifically told her, don't worry about it.

the fact that Irene also knew that we were laundering

all these people would be if you have email traffic

Sure.

Essentially the same question is going to be

I would like to take you through a list

posed for each individual, and that question would be

25

whether or not you ever had any discussion with this

particular individual that Szafranski knew the

settlements were fake or fraud.

Okay?

Sure.

Debra Villegas?

Specific conversation with Debra, no.

Marybeth Feiss?

I don't recall any.

8
9

You know, I may have had conversation with


Deb, but I really don't recall any.

10

Deb was so deeply involved with me that I

11

think it probably would have been obvious to her; I

12

didn't need to tell her anything.

13

But no specific discussions?

14

It's hard to say specific discussions, because

15

if you know how my office was set up, even when --

16

before I had that inner-sanctum thing going on, Deb's

17

office was always right outside my office, and we were

18

constantly interacting.

19

So if there would be -- it's possible, but I

20

don't -- I don't have a specific recollection as I sit

21

here today of a specific conversation, because there was

22

so much conversation.

23

Deb was the one person that I probably spoke

24

to more openly than anyone else about the nature of what

25

we had been doing.

Mike said to me directly, if the hedge funds

aren't going to fund because I believe he had some kind

of prohibition about or he believed there was some kind

of conflict about bringing in investors while they were

No, not the day, it would have been around the

time that they either stopped or slowed their funding.

And when would that have been?

I don't recall specifically.

Sometime in '09?

I don't recall specifically.

Would it have been sometime in '08?

I don't recall specifically.

It wasn't '07.

No.

I did tell Frank

Was Mr. Szafranski one of the people that you

lied to?

I lied to him about the existence of the

deals.

He had heard the initial -- the same pitch

19

that I had given to other people, so he had heard the

No, no, no, not before.

My apology.

Once he was brought in -- it was my

understanding that at the time -- and this is only my

understanding from what I was told -- at the time that

he was brought in to do the verification, he had already

been explained the entire scenario by the hedge funds.

I was told that by Mr. Simony, and also by Mr.

Preve, that he knew what he was looking for, et cetera.

10

Subsequent to that, there were times when Mr.

11

Szafranski sat in on -- when I was making pitches.

12

he heard it then, as well.

13
14

So you lied to him about the settlement

documents being real.

15
16

Okay.

So

Anything else you lied to him about?


A

When you say "the settlement documents being

17

real," are you talking about everything pertinent to

that, like the balances, everything that goes with it?

19

Yeah, I'm trying to -- you said he heard it

about a dozen times; he would have heard everything that

were you lying about, right?

22

24

Well, let me make sure you have this in

he had heard me do the pitch.

within that pitch that was a lie, he heard it, which is

the bulk of the pitch.

Who would have been present?

I don't specifically recall.

But your testimony is that that happened a

There were times when he was hearing the pitch

Hang on one second.

There's one more person

you need to add to the list early on.

Which list is that?

That I talked about when I was talking about

people that knew that Szafranski knew:

John had specifically asked me if BSA needed to talk to

someone about the deals who was, quote, unquote,

independent, if I had somebody.

10
11

John Harris.

And I said, yeah, we can trust Szafranski.


He'll handle it.

12

When did that conversation take place?

13

I don't specifically recall the time frame;

14

but if you look at the email traffic between John Harris

15

and I regarding BSA and the time when they're really

16

climbing all over me, it would have happened around that

17

time.

Prior to that, John hadn't asked me about

20

anybody independent.

John asked me things repeatedly regarding

Okay.

Before you jump back to Harris, my

question was, when did Villegas first learn that

settlements were fake?

The first day we did one.

10

Then you go -- now, you have got to look --

11

you have got to go back.

I don't think -- when I was doing the -- what

14

we call the bridge loans, just the promissory notes

15

stuff, early on, I'm not sure whether Debra knew or not.

16

But for certain when we did the very first

17

deal, which would be, I believe, G1, by that date she

18

knew the entire scheme.

19
20
21
22

What did you tell her the purpose was in

preparing the fake settlement documents?


A

I didn't give her a purpose.

I just told her

to prepare them.

To my specific recollection, no, she did not.

That the settlements were fake.

No, no.

You could tell that they were fake

because I asked her to prepare documents and sign

someone's name to it.

But did you actually tell her that they were

fake, other than asking her to prepare these documents?

It's just like with everybody else:

than hints that things were fake -- well, more than

hints, like saying to Szafranski, "well, you know

there's no plaintiffs, Mike, right?"

Did you ever tell Szafranski you were sharing

a piece of your attorney's fees with somebody else?


A

I believe I did, yes, because I told them I

was sharing them with him and with his clients.

How many times did that discussion take place?

And Szafranski, like I said, became my main

feeder fund once the hedge funds cut us off, and stayed

being one of the main feeder funds even through the time

of the Von Allmens, Discala, Clockwork people came in.

He did tell me one time to make sure that I

with Damson and Sochet, those guys, the amount of money

that he was making with me, because he was very

concerned, because he was not supposed to -- and I knew

pushing on the whole -- they -- they wanted to have

access.

if you look at Mike Szafranski's emails with other

people, you'll see that he's creating all these little

other lie scenarios, that he's using to go sell the

product, where he's telling; for example, people that

he's the person that the Bar designated -- it was an

Well, when you say "his investors," he was

being fed people, as I understand it, by the Turetski

family, some other families' names that I don't recall.

So, I don't know how you qualify them as his investors.

Someone that I put under the Szafranski umbrella of

At the time that he knew that there were no

you made some business to the bank with Szafranski?

In the beginning, to make him think that the

Mike in the beginning, which I recall doing, Caputi was

playing Ricardo Mejia, a banker working for TD Bank.

You indicated on Friday that that was an

indication that Mr. Preve knew that there was a Ponzi

scheme going on and that the Bar issue was fictitious?

I -- I don't recall testifying that that is an

10

indicator that Mr. Preve knew there was a Ponzi scheme

11

going on.

12

Well, what you said, specifically, was:

On

13

April 20th, 2009, Mr. Preve knew about the Ponzi scheme,

14

and he knew about the fact that the Bar thing was

15

something I had made up.

that we had no idea what was supposed to be in the bank

He plotted with me on a regular basis as to

what stories to tell the hedge funds, what stories to

tell other investors.

Probably one of the most glaring things is --

and I think everyone knows this by now, if you have a

real investment program, you don't fund deals in a real

investment thing, in a real investment program, without

paperwork; and we funded in excess of $25 million in

10

deals with Mr. Scherer clients alone with being no

tab five in the binder -- I'm sorry, it's going to be

tab four in the binder I just handed you.

The first email is the December 4, 2007, email

from Frank to John Harris regarding a Banyan life

credit, and it's in that email that he indicates that

the Banyan account, which will be a source of repayment,

currently stands at over $21 million.

8
9

Yes, this is one -- yes, this is actually one

of the emails.

This is a good email because at this

10

points in time, I'm not certain what Frank knows; but

11

after this whole back and forth with Harris and what

12

went on, it became clear to me that, at the very least,

13

Frank was a player, because -- because he ignored a red

14

flag that looked like the Titanic sinking.

15

What red flag was Frank ignoring?

16

He writes to Harris and he talks about the

17

fact that the RRA trust Banyan account will be the

18

source of repayment and currently stands at over

19

$21 million.

20

Harris at that point in time indicates, based

21

upon his refusal to do a line of credit, refusal to

22

discuss it any further with Mr. Preve, that there's no

23

such thing in that bank account.

24

He indicates that to who?

25

To Mr. Preve.

He does that in an email?

I don't believe it was in an email.

It was an

email back to Mr. Spinosa -- actually, it was in a

telephone call to Mr. Spinosa, confirmed later in an

email by Mr. Preve and Mr. Levin.

In this particular circumstance, it was the

back and forth between Banyan and the bank that

indicated to me, post this email, that Frank had a

pretty good idea of what was going on; because had they

10

really had control over $21 million, had that actually

11

really been the source of repayment, there is no reason

12

for Gibraltar Bank not to at least discuss giving them a

13

loan, but it was pushed off at every turn.

14

If you follow the email traffic, you will see

12

he may have screwed up because he thought that Frank was

13

attempting to confirm a bank balance using the whole

14

line-of-credit thing, attempting to confirm the bank

15

balance that I was holding and that they told him that

16

there wasn't that much in the account.

And then he said he panicked and lied to Preve

and told Preve, I can get you the bank balance but I

19

can't get it to you next week because I don't have

that the regional vice president of a bank could find

out a customer balance if he needed to, especially when

we are talking about tens of millions of dollars that

are supposed to be sitting in an account.

this, because it was involving other investors that

that we -- I needed to rein Spinosa in, that I needed to

And do you know that it was several weeks

after the meeting -- the email that we just discussed

between John Harris, that Preve sent several emails and

had discussions with John Harris and others at

Gibraltar?

That would not surprise me.

My understanding

was that the entire time, George wanted a line of

credit.

And Frank's concerns regarding -- not Frank

10

Spinosa, Preve's concerns regarding Spinosa, were those

11

relating to his ability or his competence, or were those

12

relating to the fact that he was concerned that he

wasn't going to keep his mouth shut about this?

At a certain point in time, yes.

Can you be more specific?

No.

Like I told the other gentleman this

morning, I don't know the time frame.


Q

Can you tell me how Frank Preve was aware that

Mr. Szafranski was a player, as you called him?


A

I can't pinpoint it for you.

It's the same

way -- everyone kind of eases into this type of fraud.

They start doing little bitty things that are illegal,

10

and eventually it grows into significant things.

11

Like with Szafranski, it starts out with him

12

realizing that the money is not there; me realizing that

13

he knows that the money is not there; ultimately to the

14

point where he is bringing in investors and it escalates

15

to the point where he is taking over $10 million from me

16

for his participation in the fraud.

17

So you're -- so Frank became aware -- beyond

18

these -- I'm sorry, beyond these two emails, you're

19

generally pointing to other emails that Frank Preve had

20

with you relating to trust account balances and

21

irregularities in trust account balances?

22

In order to get a full picture of my

23

relationship with Frank and to the extent of his

24

knowledge of the fraud, you can't look at this.

25

not even a thumbnail sketch of the email traffic.

I understand.

You need to really look at everything that's

going on, all the red flags, all the things that are

being ignored, the fraudulent things he's asking me to

do, the balance corrections; the one point in time when

he get a statement and glaring red flag, I sent him a --

Michael Szafranski sent him a balance statement and it's

completely wrong.

and Frank write back:

It's off by almost a billion dollars,


This is impossible.

10

Can you --

11

You would think at that point in time maybe he

12

would do something other than write back to me "this is

13

impossible."

14

15

that email?

16

I don't.

17

If you -- if --

18

I do remember it says, "did you find it?"

19

No, I didn't -- it's not -- it's not in this.

20

It's related to the 9146 account.

Can you tell me, do you recall the date of

I remember

21

him saying, "this can't be right.

22

because you're supposed to have almost a billion dollars

23

in the 9146 account, alone."

You need to fix this

Do you remember having a conversation with

Frank Preve about Irene Stay's ability to --

Sorry, that would be inabilities.

That is my question.

What -- what was -- do

you recall that conversation with Frank Preve around

2007?

I'm sorry?

Do you recall that conversation with Frank

7

about Irene Stay's inabilities, as you call it?


A

We talked about the fact that Irene could be a

knuckle head, okay, when it came to her work.

We talked

10

about the fact that she didn't appear to have a solid

11

grasp of what she needed to do in her overall job

12

description; but, generally, when we spoke about those

13

things, we also had to remember the fact that she was an

14

instrumental part of what we were doing in the Ponzi

15

scheme and that she did properly effectuate hundreds of

16

million dollars of transfers for us on a daily basis

17

flowing in and out of trust accounts and the like.

18

had to balance her ineptitude with the fact that on the

19

things that really mattered to what we were doing in the

20

scam, she was quite effective.

21
22

So I

Was Frank aware of the fact that she was

involved in the scam?

frame.

25

Eventually, yes, but I don't know the time

Do you know the basis for that statement?

Sure.

He's actually -- he actually sends -- I

mean, there's a bunch of red flags, but he's sending

balances to Irene.

So picture this:

This is supposed to be real

investment, and he's sending balances to the CFO, who is

supposed to really be sending the balances to him.

sending balances to her saying, send me these balances,

move the money around, this is how much you're supposed

to have in this account; this is how much you're

10

He's

supposed to have in that account.

11

It's not the way a -- at least not any

12

investment I had that was real, that's not how you do

13

it.

14

provides it to you, not the other way around.

15
16

Generally, you ask for a balance and the CFO

Did you consider Frank Preve to have more

financial and accounting expertise than Irene Stay?

17

Yeah, far more.

18

And in the conversations that you had in 2007

19
20

with Mr. Preve regarding Irene Stay's inability, did -A

Listen, do you have something specific this

21

conversation, because this is the first time I'm hearing

22

conversation in 2007.

23

Well --

through 2007, '08 and '09 about her inability, or do you

recall that it was only in 2007?

No.

Throughout my relationship with

Mr. Preve, we had conversations on and off about Irene

and whether she was up to the challenges of everything

that was going on.

Does that have anything to do with that

with the papering of deals, was Frank -- did Frank ever

see any -- any documents that were not redacted?

Yes.

I may have sent some to him by email, but he

16

He saw you create deal packets?

17

Well, he was in -- at certain points in time,

18

it would be almost impossible, okay, not to see us

19

creating deal packets back there because we had some

20

days where we were creating five, ten, fifteen deal

21

packets, and that is all that was going on.

sometimes don't match.

As evidenced by Frank's behavior, back.

When Brian Jedwab and Ari Glass came in

December of 2008 to perform additional due diligence --

Yes.

-- did they look at deal files?

Yes.

Redacted?

11

My recollection is they were redacted, that

12

Ari and Brian looked at redacted files.

13

Did Frank speak to you at that time and ask if

14

he could join in on the due diligence and go and see the

15

files, as well?

I don't recall one way or the other.

is some email traffic, it might help refresh my

that was an extremely intense period of time for all of

us.

Did Frank want to be involved in that

going to see, and that if he knew that we were going to

12

the only reason I am bringing that up is because that

reminds me that he was at least involved at some level,

because I remember reading that, saying, well, that's

nonsensical.

that I was going to be doing any due diligence on behalf

of the Banyan folks, which is really who I'm doing it on

behalf of because they're the borrower; and then Frank

is not going to be asking me every minute, what are you

doing.

10

There is no way, at this point in time,

What you're saying is nonsensical is Frank's

11

statement that he would have thought it was a red flag,

12

had he known the names of the attorneys?

of reasons.

Sure.

Because -- and I'll tell you a couple

and Frank, maybe even George, where I'm discussing the

17

fact that I'm allegedly getting cases, okay, from Doug

18

Bates, all right, so he's heard the name before.

19

Then, when I'm going to do this due diligence,

20

generally, if you look at my cell phone records, for

21

example, and the like, email traffic, whenever I'm doing

22

anything for the hedge funds related to due diligence,

23

Frank wants regular updates.

24

So it is beyond believability, far beyond it,

25

to think that I would trot around with Brian Jedwab and

Ari Glass to three different lawyers' offices and never

tell Frank what I was doing.

It's just not possible.

So you're saying you did tell Frank what you

were doing or you did not?

Sure.

So he knew you were conducting diligence, and

I absolutely did.

he knew you were meeting with these people?

Sure.

He knew their names?

10

Absolutely.

11

So he knew the individuals that you were

12

meeting with, Brian Jedwab and Ari Glass?

13

Yes, sir.

14

And through a conversation or through emails

15
16
17
18
19
20

you informed him?


A

Possible through both, I don't recall; but I

at least told him.


Q

Do you recall if it was personally or over the

phone or by email?
A

I recall either from -- Doug Bates's office

21

phone or from my cell phone, when I got done with one of

22

those meetings, with the Bates Koppel meeting, that I

23

called Frank to update him and let him know that

everything was going fine.

You didn't give him anymore specifics than

that, did you?


A

Other than to let him know that we met with

the lawyers and they verified everything perfectly?

Right.

Just that.

Did you give him -- you gave him the names of

He knew ahead of time who the lawyers were.

Q

You had told him that Russ Adler helped you

set up these lawyers who were going to be putting on a

14

show for these investors in New York?

15
16
17

Yes.

Here's what happened.

You have got to

take it in order.
Initially, the hedge funds are sending us a

18

request for enhanced due diligence.

19

speak to some of our referring lawyers.

20

They just want to


Okay.

If you recall my testimony from last week, we

were just going to give him the names.

give him some names of some people who would simply

Then Brian Jedwab wanted to do more enhanced:


I want to be able to talk to these people at length.

That ultimately morphed, grew into a coming

down to all actually meet with lawyers.

about the Ponzi scheme.

went to Adler, because Adler has been chomping at the

bit to get involved and to be able to make more capital

for himself.

10

At that point

So, as I testified last week, I

I have him go ahead and set up the meetings

11

with Rossi and Herskowitz, the people that I didn't

12

really know at that point in time and assist me in

13

setting up the Koppel Bates meeting.

14

And, yes, I kept Frank apprised as to what I

15

was doing because both Frank and I knew that any future

16

business with the hedge funds in New York would be

17

contingent upon passing this due diligence with flying

18

colors.

19
20

And was Jedwab convinced of the authenticity

of the investment strategy, let's call it?

21

He led me to believe he was, yes.

22

And do you believe he was?

23

At that time I believed he was, yes.

24

In hindsight?

25

MR. SCHERER:

Objection to the form.

Well, yes, I believe Jedwab, up until the

time -- I believe Jedwab had suspicions; but as I

testified last week, I also believe that the second

Jedwab knew for certain that something was wrong, if he

ever did, he would have been screaming at the top of his

lungs for the police.

Do you know if Jedwab or Ari Glass provided

the results they -- they prepared a due-diligence

memorandum; do you recall that document?

10
11
12

I saw it subsequent to the Ponzi scheme

exploding, subsequent to October 2009.


Q

Do you know if Frank Preve, around that time,

13

in December, January -- December 2008, January 2009,

14

tried to obtain that due diligence report?

15

No.

My recollection is that they actually

16

gave that document -- if we're thinking about the same

17

document, I saw it before October of 2009, actually,

18

because that document actually came to Frank through

19

Jack Simony; but if you would show me the document, I

20

would be able to not go back and forth like that.

21
22
23
24
25

And that came -- that was provided to Frank by

Jack Simony by email?


A

Hang on a second.

Are we talking about the

memorandum written, by Brian Jedwab, that has as the

date on it, various dates.

Can you show it to me?

I don't have it.

But you don't know if that was provided to


Frank Preve one way or the other, do you?

8
9

I don't have it on me.

One of them -- I have to see it.


At least one, maybe both, were provided -- and

when I say both, I mean the Jedwab due diligence letter

and the Kroll report.

12
13
14

One or both were provided to

But without seeing it, I can't tell you which


one.
Q

Okay.

The Kroll report, do you recall if that

was provided to Frank by Jack Simony in an email?


A

No, no, at least to my knowledge.

I don't

think he would be that stupid.

18

Okay.

19

I mean, that was an internal document.

20

don't think Jack would do that on an internal.

21

think he would deliver it to him.

22

I
I don't

Did you ever tell Frank Preve and George Levin

23

that you were spending a million dollars in marketing

24

per month to obtain --

25

It was some sum like that, yes.

0e2a83c9-4e45-4b8f-a0dd-2f222e05088e

And that you were doing it through various

online advertisings and other methods, the million

dollars being spent; do you recall that?

At various points in time, I discussed with

both Mr. Preve and Mr. Levin as to what we were doing to

market, quote, unquote, the investments, quote, unquote.

At various times --

Different conversations between Preve and I

9
10
11

and Levin and I.


Q

Is it fair to say that they asked you several

questions about that over the course --

12

Give me a time frame.

13

2007 to 2008.

14

I'm sorry.

15

Let's say 2007.

16

Well, back before Preve knew what was going

Give me the time frame, again.

17

on, I definitely tried to sell him.

18

could easily picture him asking me that.

19
20

So I could -- I

Do I have a specific recollection of it, no;


but was it something that ultimately came up, yes.

21

But, again, there's difference in

22

conversations between myself and Preve and myself and

23

Levin.

24

25

When specifically did Preve know what was

going on?

I can't tell you specifically.


Again, here's what you need to do:

If you

look at all the email traffic, you'll see -- with almost

everything that was involved, probably everybody that

was involved, you'll see that there's -- there's a

change-over.

People -- it's not like one day you wake up

and say, oh, okay, I'm going to tell Frank we're

committing fraud today.

10

That's not what happens.

People see little things, and then based upon

11

how they react, that's how you decide whether to open

12

the -- let's call the Ponzi door a little bit more.

13

Okay.

You open it a little bit more.

involved in a much higher level.

21

You start feeding them money,

You start giving them the rock-star lifestyle.

18

That's what happens.

If there are people that I tried to get


involved that ultimately didn't get involved.

22

Did you ever lie to Frank Preve?

23

Yes.

That was

Why would you make up that story if Frank knew

what was going on?


A

I think I was simply desperate to try to put

everyone at ease while I decided what to do with myself.

12

Here's the thing, given Frank's level of

13

knowledge and the fact that this thing is exploding, at

14

that point in time, I was deeply concerned about what

15

Frank might do to attempt to save himself.

16

And until I decided what I was doing, I wanted

17

to hold everybody at bay and the only way I was going to

18

do that was to lead everyone, both people involved and

19

not involved, that I was going to be able to solve the

20

situation.

21

22

What did you think Frank might do to try to

save himself?

What were you concerned about?

23

Go to the police.

But you were already in Morocco; why would you

25

be concerned about that?

Because I had not decided yet what I was

You weren't sure whether you were going to

return at that point?


A

I wasn't sure whether I was going to kill

myself, continue to flee, return.

But --

There were a whole myriad of things that were

going through my head at that point in time.

10

If you recall, early on, when I fled, I sent

11

emails to a bunch of people trying to figure what I

12

actually owed people to get their principal back.

13

suppose in some warped part of my mind, I was believing

14

that maybe I can get enough money together to make these

15

people whole so that this wouldn't be as bad as it

16

ultimately turned out to be.

17

Do you -- you indicated earlier in your

18

testimony that you had sent emails falsely exculpating

19

certain people, and that included Frank Preve, correct?

20

I believe I sent one to Frank.

If you have

it, it would be easier if I could just see it, but he

certainly -- I think I sent one to him and George

together, falsely ex- -- exculpating them.

So your mental state at this time, when you're

20

already today and last week, that you had thousands of

emails with Frank indicating that he knew something was

up, by October 31st, 2009; isn't that right?

23
24
25

I mean, you have testified about it

I don't understand why that has anything to do

with what I just testified to.

Well, why would you falsely exculpate Frank if

it says, on with my office and Adria.

19

Why were you indicating to Frank and George

20

that you were on a call with Adria if they knew -- if

Frank knew, at least, as you testified last week, that

Adria, the Bar issue, was fictitious and that Adria did

out -- straighten this out quickly.

that he has negotiating capacity when he has none?

George could bail this thing out or not.

indicate in the following email that you did give that

I have no idea.

You're not sure what that means?

I think it was more to the effect that

Okay.

As I'm sitting here, for


It sounds like

So you're not -- I mean, you're not

saying here that Frank was not involved with you, that
your issue doesn't -- this issue doesn't involve you?

11

No.

I'm saying that my issue, whatever my

12

issue was -- maybe the fact that I'm going to kill

13

myself, maybe the fact that I ran, maybe the fact that I

14

destroyed my family, it could have been anything at that

15

moment in time -- again, without being inside my head,

16

you can't understand what was going on at that time with

17

me.

18
19

So you're not sure what this email means:

"much of my issue does not involve you"?

20

At this moment, I don't recollect.

21

Okay.

The follow-up email from Frank,

22

October 31st, "We really need Irene to cooperate before

23

this thing goes public on Monday.

24

the shortage is now 300 million, which is still

25

manageable if we have your cooperation.

We understand that

Do you know what Frank means there?


A

Okay.

Well, it's clear to me that he knows

that -- I mean, he's referring back to the fact that we

have this massive fraud going on.

this time, he thinks that this money is supposed to be

there.

trust accounts, where is it?

As you will note, he never sends me a single

All he's trying to do is figure out, at this

11

point in time, how much money I had left in the account,

12

if any; because he wants to try to bail us all out.

13

mean, that is what he's trying to do.

14

But if you look -- if you read this email

16

who wasn't in on it would have written to me at this

17

point in time, you'll see that they're night and day.

Do you know what he means by "the

Yes.

I believe he thought that George could come up

with the money to bail these people out.

And how would George be able to come up with

there were points in time when I thought he was totally

cashed out and only had access to properties.

There were

10

But it was my impression, at least from what

11

Frank had told me and what George had told me and what

12

Sue Levin had, in fact, told me, was that George had

13

more than enough property and the like that he could

14

have leveraged and made these people whole.

15

that's what I was thinking at the time.

16

At least

So you're suggesting that George would -- was

17

willing, or that Frank thought George was willing to

18

sell off other unrelated assets, you know, unrelated to

19

this investment strategy, to manage that shortage?

20
21
22

It could have been any myriad of things.

Do you know if Frank was under the impression

There should have been a lot

more than that in the trust accounts.

I don't know.

Do you --

You know, George at that point in time, may

have believed -- again, and this goes to me really not

knowing the extent of George's involvement or lack of

involvement -- George certainly may have believed at

that point in time that there was plenty of money in the

when I read it.


Q

Okay.

So certainly George had the impression

that there was more than that amount?


A

When you say "certainly," again, you're asking

18

me to get inside their heads.

19

am actually telling you now what I am thinking right at

20

this minute:

21

thought that George was just going to sell off whatever

22

it was; because I knew there was no money in the trust

account, so what else would I think?

I can only tell you -- I

I --

I mean, weren't there other sources of

verification that would have led George to believe that:

the screen shots, the independent verification from

Szafranski, the bank visits?

I have reason to believe that George believed

there was still a substantial amount of money in the

Okay.

Do you have the same belief as to

In other words, do you think, based on this

As I sit here today, hindsight being 20/20, I

15

don't see how he would have possibly thought that; but I

16

certainly see, in retrospect, as this was all going on,

17

given the fact that he knew that I was getting

18

substantial amounts of money from other investors that

19

he was unaware of -- Sochet, Szafranski; he had no idea

20

how much money I was taking in -- he certainly could

21

have believed that there was billions of dollars still

22

floating around somewhere or that I had taken a billion

23

dollars with me.

He -- I don't know what was in his head.


You're asking me to guess over and over again, and I

don't want to do that.


Q

So you respond:

"That is not the shortage.

That is the amount of money needed to give the investors

back their money.

It will make it easier for -- for everyone."

I really just need to end it, Frank.

Then Frank responds:

"Let's do the right

thing for everyone involved; and your, quote, unquote,

ending it, doesn't sound like the solution that is going

to do it.

Let's talk this through."

10

When you said "ending it" in that email, were

11

you talking about ending your life or ending your Ponzi

12

scheme?

13

Ending my life.

14

Afterwards, you respond to Frank saying:

15

"Tell me what to do?

16

surrender?

17

before I end it?"

19

I am at the end of my rope.

Do I end it?

Did you -- were you honestly asking for


Frank's advice in that email?

20

Yes.

21

Okay.

22

I did.

And Frank's response to that email is:

Did you consider Frank a friend?

You mentioned earlier that there was a

meeting that you had with Frank in your office where he

saw some unredacted settlement documents.

21

That's correct.

have an office in your office?

No, sir.
