[{"sender": null, "recipients": ["Richard Kahn <9", "Darren Indyke"], "timestamp": "Tue, Mar 21, 2017 at 6:58 PM", "subject": "Fwd: request for docs - AAP", "body": "hired to run YOUR office until two months ago , no one was even interviewed and even now , Brad, a very\nnice man, is not even full time,(crazy ) Hours upon hours of time need to be spent training him . and his new\nstaff. Eileen followed your instructions. not mine. in fact she continued to ignore mine saying \" but Leon\nsaid \"or\" its on Leon's desk etc\", You would become frustrated when 1 pointed out each instance. of her\nobfuscation. originally you were given the clear choice, but to save money ,you chose not to hire my team . I\nwas hired to do the architecture, you kept your own team. with Eileen at the head. instructions were given by\nme, , detailed but ignored by her. ( except in the instances where I inserted myself and personally had to do the\nweeks of grunt work ),ex. jpm morgan acct still not in use? That being said, If you do the cold calculation\nstarting from where you were, to where you are currently . youhave made a hell ofa deal. -- negotiating\ndown my original amount requested , calling upon our friendship and suggesting that the Carlyn mess was\npartially my fault. (though in that specific example , I had never been asked to do more than merely provide\nyou the name of the most highly recognized atty in the field, not consulted,nor even asked again for my\nguidance along the way. ). I accepted the discount as your friend. (by the way ,,suggesting now, that your\nTom is now that last word on tax characterization, frankly is a bit much,-). however - that is all in the past.\nIn order to move forward\n\nI would ask that you realize that very unlike yours, My business is only comprised of my personal attention\nand my personal time . Time that I was forced to grossly overspend on your various issues last year. . As you\nare my very close friend I will not have you participate in a bidding process that I have decided i will\nhave this year for my time . (hopefully a more fair way to allocate ) I would also ask that you keep in mind\nthat though our deal expired months ago. (also keeping in mind , that your understanding of the final\npayment terms neither reflected the emails or my memory, we finished it up your way. ) I have answered every\ncall Brad , joslin, Ada or you, have made . reviewed docs over and over/ until once again, I was\nforced to insert myself strongly as I thought it dangerous not to. I made serious dollar and time concessions\nlast year.very serious I am wiling to continue to accommodate some of your concerns , but Iam, under no\ncircumstances , none, willing to spend my time for free. its not fair. After cleaning up Carlyn's mess , which\nwas a few weeks and 30 million dollars . We were both highly aware of the dire circumstances in which you\nfound yourself last year, and in fact due predominately to its seriousness. and those very circumstances I took\nextra care in our negotiations . (you had claimed I had you over a barrel , ( a horrible position to be in with my\nvery close friend.), unfortunately I fear that if you are not cautious ,in the near future, another barrel will appear\nof your own design )\n\nI heard you when you said you believed i had already been paid for the work that is now required. The art\npartnership has fully answered all your concerns and discharged all my obligations and more so. . (\nFYI Carlyns art partnership that you referenced is similar in only its title. ) You will also recall that you\nrequired that my payments be at the end of my work not at the beginning as everyone else's .( my work was\nnever to include hours upon hours of training your staff). I eventually agreed, this of course should\nmake clear that the 2014 tax year that will close Oct 2015 is not covered by our past agreement at all. I\npointed this very fact out to you when I initially proposed a multi year agreement right out of the box. you said\nyou preferred not. As you said ,I have produced results to date, far in excess of even my own exalted opinion\nof my projections. I have devoted a monumental amount of my limited amount of time-- way, way in excess of\nour agreement. I will be fair, I am willing to roll in the amount still outstanding from last year if that helps ..\nHowever, As my best student , and my only one, you are now capable of doing most, if not all, of the\nrequired work yourself. I can put my whiteboard away when you come to eat and just have fun, trade stories,,.\nshare moments ideas etc.. Iam ofcourse always available to guide you as a friend if you choose that route .\nalways . It will take a great deal of your time , but you will not have to spend any more money on mine .\n\nWe are scheduled to meet fri at 430 , I leave at 5 am sat morning.\n\nnot for now. but maybe later ,"}]
