Brads defensive posture was at a minum very surprising . He and I have recently gotten along quite well , thought. Neither Joslin or Brad understood a 180 million dollar number . no cash flow after weeks of requesting? odd. when you suggested that heathers behavior was emblematic of a sloppy office , brad said lets not talk about emblems??! bill pay , admittedly no change for the year. . plane not done. though it was the only thing i suggested doing first in july. . I sent you a list of 10 consultantts. brad said three, . 1 didnt want to push it. I was shocked that brad was opining on things he knows little or nothing about. tax issues. 1031. neg basis , note payoffs ( the same idea he said he had had from the beggining??!!) . answers re LBF holdings that can be corrected (they cant) . valuations that have never been read. . When we met in your lobby he seems surprised that 1 was there. I dont know if he felt somewhat sandbagged. ..\n\nthe savings on the note payoff is aprrox 33 % of 1.8 billion. real money if you do phaidon which i see no reason not to . if later josh and ben want to buy it back with you or without you they can. i will walk you through the structure one on one. . the losses will offeset the calder gain as well as apollo gain.\n\nIm aware that seeing what you saw frustrated you. I felt badly for you.\n\nYou wanted a contingent deal. real value. etc. I will not of course hold you to your deal .. its silly. its not how i work or a reflection of our friendship. my proposal is as follows. I want away from your buisiness , but at the same time leaving you in good shape. __I think you should pay the 25m that you did not for this year. for next year its the same 40 m as always, paid 20 in jan and 20 in july, and then we are done. I will give you advice and counsel but new people will be running your operating machine. I will oversee all the work"}, {"sender": null, "recipients": ["Melanie Spinella"], "timestamp": "Mon, Nov 30, 2015 at 11:21 AM", "subject": "agenda", "body": "1 fees, amount and to what entities when and responsiblitis. 2. gagosian idea to save a minimum of 10 mill and maybe more. 3. ican walk you through carlyns screw up, 50 % would have made little difference and maybe made it worse. 4. we should have an all hands meeting with your family to talk about art distribution on death. . 5. phaidon, decantings ( already firmly in progress ) loans.

I will have no real further involvement apart from confirming the outcome of my proposed structure, I will not risk the admonition of- they thought you said, they thought you meant, they understood it to be. but they said you said, (ie,I asked at our meeting that accounting be done properly for bens house , what came back was ada thought that I meant that we needed to go back to the 97 trust and give him a full third party accounting of where his money had gone??!! I kid you not). I dont think brad should talk to jane heller without a fully fleshed out plan in place and even then it should be you."}]
