I do not know how, and if ,jto move forward - our last transaction. a transaction which you saved 600 million in tax. even if 20 years away ,( ihope longer) even discounted is a 300 million savings . for that you ignored our agreements , verbal written and emailed -and decided that it was only worth 8 million dollars. ( assuming phaidon srichard happens. 24 m savings not including artspace and debt benefits certain to come later) FYI the phaidon transaction cannot happen as currently comtemplated IT will not work . NOT\n\nWhen we had our meeting in your home in Bedford. You asked me for my help. I told you multiple times that i thought it was a very bad idea, in that I preferred to have no financial interactions. I dont have many friends and didnt want money in any way to interfere with our unique relationship. Reminder , For five years you had the kind but goofy Eileen Alexandersson as the sole manager of your accounting , legal, investments. reporting, trusts etc. When I first told you in no uncertain terms that I firmly believed she was incompetent you admonished me for \" speaking out of both sides of my mouth\". With regard Brad Wechsler , there has never been a \" both sides. \". I have consistantly maintained since day one that he was highly unsuited for the job. When you initially asked me to help convince him to take the role , promising him a position to manage mirage investments I sent you a note saying that instead of hiring him you should pay up and get first class people. I have reiterated the same message for over a year now. . Brad , not me ,was tasked with hiring new people , according to his org chart.(nauseating ) and as you wanted him to take ownership of the staff,he conducted many interviews alone. . you may recall that as late as may, you told him in my presence that though six months had passed he had not hired anyone. since then I have rectified errors in sales tax, use tax, income tax, fbar reporting, 1031 reporting, 8 million of deductions missed errors of millions on the returns. ,( april ) Oversight on new grats- first at 22 and then at 19 that were done without my consultation and needed to be resolved soley as a result of my last minute intervention. . 600 million in after tax savings was just accomplished. though you left the 30 million outstanding that I had said should only be done\" if\" that was my additional fee. not used for non biz purposes and not art."}, {"sender": null, "recipients": [], "timestamp": null, "subject": null, "body": "up Seperate trusts, , 2) I am reachable this afternoon in europe. oncell. 3. on another note . -our financial agreement ended months ago . seperate from the art partnership (which i was told yesterday to my amazement is still not funded) . 1am obligated to complete ? the time i have dedicated since oct/ dec has been spent mainly as your friend. tom, brad though i am fully cognizant of my responsiblities. I will try to help find people. I am not good at human resources. howevr If I don;t think they are good enough for you. I will continue to say so _, and you obviously decide. but I will reiterrate even in the face of your \"nobody is good enough argument.\" keeping foremost in my mind that you and I have only beeen shown a very tiny handful of people. 4. I find the friction over fees , counterproductive. in an attempt to avoid it I had suggested a multi year deal early on. you rejected it. I then suggested, and urged you to have an option at a fixed fee , you also rejected that .you wanted the fee payment only at the end I argued but ,conceded. I suggested a structure that tom didn't like. you rejected it. 5 I suggest you make a fair proposal.- that i can either accept or reject. some payment up front this time is a requirement. I am willing to modify any outstanding obligations. - there are creative ways to assure you of your desired characterization of those payments. 6 you should open accts at Deutsh . and goldman. I am told that eilleen has set up over one hundred bank acccts for you???!!._ few relevant 7 you should immediatly demand a list of all her acct authorites , exec poistions . director etc. bank authorizsations. etc. _ talk later or over the weekend if you like"}]
