1 attention to this most urgent matter. Should you Page 92 2 have any questions please free to call me directly. 3 Should you have any questions regarding the wiring 4 data below, you may contact the bank at the numbers 5 listed below. Please provide me with confirmation of 6 the wire via your bank's standard e-mail protocol. 7 Thanks again, Scott. 8 Do you recall that e-mail? 9 A. I do. 10 Q. Tell me what you recall about the 11 circumstances surrounding your drafting and sending 12 of that e-mail. 13 A. It was subsequent to me receiving 14 instructions from Albert as to somehow he wants to 15 dispose of the $400,000 that he had embezzled from 16 the company. 17 Q. Did he discuss with you the nature of the 18 account that was in Ms. Yoel's name in Zurich? 19 A. I don't recall one way or the other, other 20 than telling me to send the money there. 21 Q. Was this $400,000 in any way related to the 22 fraudulent scheme that you described here earlier 23 today? 24 I note that it came at the same point in 25 time.

1 A. You'd have to see if it ties to one of the 2 fraudulent bills. 3 I mean off the top of my head I don't know 4 how Albert would have directed the money to get to me 5 unless I sent him a fraudulent bill so that he could 6 send it, so I can't tell you without seeing the 7 documentation. 8 Q. Your understanding from your direct 9 conversations with Mr. Peter was he admitted to you 10 that it was an embezzlement? 11 A. Not using those words, but, yes, he said, 12 "I'm just going to take the money from Silversea and 13 you'll send it from there," because he originally 14 asked me, Mr. Lichtman, if I could just send her the 15 money. 16 Q. When he said, "Could you just send the 17 money," that would have been because he would have 18 hoped that he had about at least $400,000 somewhat 19 coming to him as a result of the fraudulent billing 20 scheme. 21 Is that a fair statement? 22 A. That's a fair statement. Yes, sir. 23 Q. This is probably a fairly good breaking 24 point right now for lunch if it works for you. 25 A. Whatever is good for you is good for us. Page 93
