1 Let me first start with Ms. DelValle. Page 79 2 The records of RRA reflect that 3 Ms. DelValle was paid compensation in calendar year 4 2005 as contract labor with a corresponding Form 1099 5 in the amount of $57,692.12. 6 Was Ms. DelValle an employee of RRA in 7 2005? 8 A. No. 9 Q. Why was she paid 57,000 and change in 2005? 10 A. Because Albert asked me to pay her. 11 Q. Why did he ask you to pay her? What did he 12 say to you? 13 A. He said she's going to create a problem 14 with him and Tatiana, or him and somebody else, with 15 his wife, if she's not properly taken care of, and 16 that he wants part of the money that would be going 17 to him to go to her. 18 Q. Sounds like we'll call it "hush money." 19 Would that be an appropriate way to 20 describe it? 21 A. Yes. 22 Q. Did any of that payment have anything to do 23 with Mr. Coniglio? 24 A. I don't know one way or the other. 25 Q. Would you agree that keeping Ms. DelValle
