1 parts of this crime, that neither Mr. Corte, Page 150 2 Mr. Renie, Rey Leon or Michael Pancier were ever told 3 of the illegal portion of that. 4 They all four believed, to the best of my 5 knowledge, that they were going over there and acting 6 on the authority of the CEO of Silversea to do 7 something that Silversea legitimately wanted to do. 8 Q. So documents that were destroyed off of the 9 Silversea server -- would there have been 10 corresponding copies of those documents on RRA 11 servers? 12 A.

What did you do with the disks that you 18 took from the safe? 19 A. We returned them to Albert. 20 Q. Do you know what he did with them? 21 A. I have no idea. 22 Q.

That's correct. 13 Q. Did you ever have a direct conversation 14 with him where you said, "I know you ripped me off," 15 or words to that effect? 16 A. There was a conversation at my home at 17 2308 Castilla where there was a gentleman named 18 Eberhardt in town -- I believe it was Eberhardt -- 19 Albert, myself and Mr. Boden. 20 We were sitting out in my backyard off to 21 the right under this little covered area smoking 22 cigars and having cocktails and I colorfully 23 explained to Albert and Eberhardt that I had a pretty 24 good idea that I had been scammed and that if things 25 were not as they were between Albert and I, that they Page 151
