You and your family are a 6 billion dollar corp. with an income between 250 -500 million dollars per year. It contains a few operating biz's , a large wide array of existing investments, in various categories ,\n\na desire to enter into others. A panoply of loans, notes. purchases, wide range of all types of taxes. _, planes. boats homes. . trusts ,grats. a crazy number of bank accts. ( with no oversight ) . law firms, acct firms, 800 page tax returns, foreign firms. art consultants. construction consultants bill payers, home mgmt.,vast multitude of Ilc's , including foreign, and with all that you only have a combined overhead of less that 3. million dollars.\n\nI have previously sent you the very same note that i have enclosed again below ,this time with highlights . I wrote itto you over a year ago. As my acute disability ( selective memory) seems to have been raised as one of your concerns , asa rule I try to memorialize things in writing in an attempt to lay out issues that I fear may later turn out to be a problem. ie what i would and wouldn't do , - my responsibilities. ete and those things that are not. below you will find details of things that I thought needed to be done, so that you wouldn't find yourself in the very place where you currently find yourself. however ,you chose to defer many of my suggestions- see below -,until only weeks ago. ! you chose to defer the jpm acct. the art partnership on and on - into this year. and though the 60- 50 40 timber emails all carried with it a clear warning that you needed to do something re personnel if it were to stabilize,- you chose to wait."}, {"sender": null, "recipients": [], "timestamp": null, "subject": null, "body": "required that my payments be at the end of my work not at the beginning as everyone else's .( my work was never to include hours upon hours of training your staff). I eventually agreed, this of course should make clear that the 2014 tax year that will close Oct 2015 is not covered by our past agreement at all. I pointed this very fact out to you when I initially proposed a multi year agreement right out of the box. you said you preferred not. As you said ,I have produced results to date, far in excess of even my own exalted opinion of my projections. I have devoted a monumental amount of my limited amount of time-- way, way in excess of our 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 required work yourself. I can put my whiteboard away when you come to eat and just have fun, trade stories,. share moments ideas etc.. Iam of course always available to guide you as a friend if you choose that route . always . 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."}]
