1 that you recall? Page 142 2 A. I may have sent him over there either with 3 Curtis or separately from Curtis to assist in getting 4 the -- either -- it wasn't on the downloading data 5 issue. It was on the making sure that by the time 6 Albert left that any incriminating e-mails had been 7 removed. 8 Q. Did he know that that was the mission, 9 meaning did Rey know that that was what his mission 10 was and what he was looking for? 11 A. He knew that we needed to eliminate disks 12 -- excuse me -- eliminate information -- but I did 13 not explain it to him in the fashion of a crime. I 14 explained to him that Albert as CEO wanted the data 15 removed. 16 Q. So he had no knowledge of the contents of 17 that which he was removing? 18 A. He didn't know that it was harmful to me 19 or to Albert. He just knew that the CEO of this 20 cruise line wanted it removed. 21 That's to the best of my recollection. 22 Q. In the course of my serving a subpoena 23 upon Silversea Cruises for documents pertaining to 24 Albert and RRA I had been told that they had 25 determined that a fair amount of data had been
1 deleted from their computers but they weren't able to 2 restore it. 3 Is that the information that you think 4 you're alluding to now? 5 A. Yes. There were several occasions, one 6 where Rey was over there I believe with Curtis or 7 Bill, and another where either Curtis or Curtis and 8 Bill were there, maybe a third time, when we were 9 making sure that data was taken off of the Silversea 10 server such that anything incriminating would never 11 be able to be found. 12 Q. Now, going back to the reason for Albert's 13 termination from Silversea, you said it was expenses 14 that were charged improperly to the company. 15 To the best of your knowledge, did that 16 include, for instance, maid service at his house? 17 A. Yes. 18 Q. Limos for Diane DelValle? 19 A. Yes. 20 Q. Renting very high end cars when he was out 21 on business? 22 A. Yes, sir. 23 Q. Taking Tatiana Yoel with him and charging 24 that to the company on business travel? 25 A. Yes, sir. Page 143
