1 A. At various points in time he appeared to be 2 frightened. At various points in time he appeared to 3 be incredulous and had to be further convinced that 4 this was real, and that that would generally provoke 5 another visit from law enforcement. 6 Q. I assume that conversation that you alluded 7 to was on speaker phone? 8 A. Yes, sir. 9 Q. Was the result of these activities with 10 the policeman and Mr. Caputi and your conference 11 calls with Mr. Lefebvre such that, in fact, he did 12 not come to the United States? 13 A. Most of the time. There were occasions 14 where he had to travel here, where he insisted, and 15 we created a whole charade where we basically had to 16 sneak him into the country. He had to be very 17 careful. He had to keep us apprised as to his 18 whereabouts at all times so that Albert would, in 19 fact, know when he was coming to the office. We had 20 to sneak him into the office. We had a driver for 21 him, and we actually had this police officer, for 22 lack of a better term, chasing him through the 23 streets. 24 Q.

They've been Bates stamped as 5 T-AP00211 through T-AP00215. 6 I'm going to mark them as Composite 7 Exhibit 3. I want to put on the record I am -- you 8 don't have them. I'm not going to get into detail on 9 them right now because I can authenticate them 10 myself. 11 I want to be clear I am going to take these 12 back to my office and flyspeck them. I know that a 13 couple of them have the police officer's name on it 14 and I'm going to redact the police officer's name and 15 anything that would remotely suggest where the police 16 officer worked and then after that I'll give the 17 documents to the court reporter. 18 Is that okay with you, Larry? 19 MR. LaVECCHIO: That's fine. 20 (Whereupon, the documents referred to 21 were marked Plaintiff's Composite Exhibit No. 3 for 22 Identification.) 23 A. Okay. Mr. Lichtman, I'm going to take a 24 two-minute break to use the restroom. 25 Q. All right. That's good, because I actually
