1 best of your knowledge because you had arranged with 2 him to split the illegal money that you had bilked 3 Silversea out of from your fraudulent billing. 4 Is that correct? 5 A. We weren't splitting it down the middle, 6 but, yes. He was receiving compensation of an 7 illegal fashion from the money that we were 8 embezzling from Silversea with his assistance. 9 Q. So, to be sure now, going back to Bates 10 stamped pages 91 and 93 the difference between the 11 sum of $23,336 on page 93 and $8,618 on 91 would be 12 the amount of money that you stole from Silversea and 13 that Mr. Peter later participated in receiving in 14 some fashion or another. Correct? 15 A. Correct. 16 Q. I'm going to do some other invoices a 17 little quicker, but take a look now at pages 94 and 18 95. 19 A. Okay. 20 Q. You'll see that pages 94 and 95 are for an 21 invoice dated August 24, 2006. The invoice number is 22 67878, and if you peruse the entries there's not very 23 many of them. It totals $4,247 on page 95. 24 Do you see that? 25 A. I do. Page 40
1 Q. Then if you take a look at page 96, it's Page 41 2 an invoice also of August 24, 2006. It's the same 3 invoice number as on page 94. 4 Do you agree with that? 5 A. Yes. 6 Q. Do you agree that the entries on page 96 7 are the same as those on pages 94 and 95? 8 A. They appear to be. 9 Q. Except this bill, instead of being $4,247, 10 is $44,247. 11 Do you see that? 12 A. That's correct. 13 Q. This is another fraudulent bill? 14 A. Yes, sir. 15 Q. Take a look at page 98. 16 A. Yes, sir. 17 Q. That's an invoice dated September 5, 2006, 18 invoice number 68243. There's one entry by Melissa 19 Lewis for $248. 20 Do you see that? 21 A. I do. 22 Q. Take a look at page 99. 23 That invoice is also dated September 5, 24 2006. It's the same invoice number, 68243, except 25 this bill instead of being $248 is $47,123.32?
