1 A. Yeah. It would have been right around that<br />
2 time.<br />
3 Q. And then I have an e-mail that is -- this<br />
4 is page 259 <strong>of</strong> January 23 where you wrote to Amerigo<br />
5 and Manfredi: Just took a break. <strong>Albert</strong> did hire<br />
6 an attorney and it is actually helping explain the<br />
7 negatives from an independent source.<br />
8 As I understand, though, there was no<br />
9 attorney.<br />
10 A. No. There was someone playing an<br />
11 attorney, but no one really talking to <strong>Albert</strong> other<br />
12 than Mr. Lippman and myself.<br />
13 Q. I want to be clear I understand what<br />
14 you're saying.<br />
15 No licensed attorney was actually retained<br />
16 by <strong>Albert</strong> to represent him in this negotiation with<br />
17 Silversea regarding his termination. Correct?<br />
18 A. There was a licensed attorney paid by<br />
19 <strong>Albert</strong>, but not to represent him in the negotiation.<br />
20 Q. What was he paid to do?<br />
21 A. To pretend to be his lawyer.<br />
22 Q. And then you handled the negotiations?<br />
23 A. Manfredi didn't know that, but yes.<br />
24 Ultimately Mr. Lippman and myself handled<br />
25 all the negotiations. Yes.<br />
