Deposition Transcript of Scott Rothstein (Albert ... - Trustee Services

1 I have one thing. We found the Doug Bates
2 memo.
3 It's marked as Trustee 278, and it deals
4 with the situation where Amerigo writes you an
5 e-mail and he says: "How does this guy at the
6 courthouse know that you are our counsel," and you
7 wrote back, "Anyone can run the Silversea name at the
8 courthouse on a link and pull up any action and see
9 their most recent counsel."
10 At the bottom you talk about there being
11 another blackmailer around -- excuse me -- Amerigo
12 says there's a concern there's another blackmailer
13 around, and you wrote: "Doug Bates has an excellent
14 reputation in the community. My guess is that he has
15 some significant evidence. He has never had the
16 reputation of being someone to engage in that kind of
17 nonsense. He is quite successful and has no need to
18 engage in such behavior."
19 And then you go on and talk about a plan.
20 Do you recall the circumstance with Doug
21 Bates and this e-mail?
22 A. Do you have the Doug Bates letter attached
23 to that e-mail?
24 Q. No.
25 A. Does it reference Doug Bates' letter?
