Transaction complete !
<=iv>
When we had our meeting in your ho=e in Bedford. You asked me for my help. I told yo= multiple times that i
thought it was a very bad idea, in that I pre=erred to have no financial interactions. I dont h=ve many friends and didnt
want money to intereferAlexandersson managing your accounting , le=al, investments. reporting, trusts etc. When I
told you in no =ncertain terms that I firmly believed she was incompetent you =dmonished me for " speaking out of
both sides of my mouth ". =AO With regard Brad Wechsler , there is no " both sides. =quota. I have consistantly
maintained since day one that he was high=y unsuited for the job. When you initially asked me to help convince=him to
take the role , promising him a postion to manage mira=e investments I sent you a note saying instead you should =AO
pay up and get first class people. I have reiterated
<=span>
With Brad out of the office and una=le to run his usual interference , the level of his total and =tter incompetence was
brought clearly, front and center. =AO He may be a step up from Eileen, but, if he is, then it is=C2 certainly not by
much, A major difference i= that Eileen knew she was over her head. Brad struts his stupiditly =henever he gets a
chance.
A critical ex=mple. - =span>Though you and I have spent many many hours discu=sing the =span>importance of
care and attention to details and mechani=s. with regard Phaidon I was not shown one single docum=nt , not one.!!
Brad wanted to keep it private between he, and=his so called " advisors " ho=ever as he was out of the office during
the most important transaction of =he year, I did get to spend time with joslin=Joe and john, - the situation in your
office is totally =udicrous - to summarize - the list I provided to Brad I=st Decemb=r - of things I thought were a
priority to=get done - still remains in the whole unresolved.=
The IT, is virtually untouched and is still in d=sperate need of a format - reporting flawed cumbersome and inaccurat= .
all done by hand as one -off exercises , when either you or b=ad ask for it - airplane: re structure, (my only suggested
priority=in =une ) is really ,no further ahead, consultants up th= kazoo but nothing at all done.( the office was told by
Brad not to =hare the outside proposals with me - brad has no =dea even as to what questions to ask. he knows little of
finance, is bulls=itted over by almost everyone in the office. a little man , us=ng your power, to appear larger . Eileen
was self aware enough to know she=was over her head , that is a huge difference. bad info is ram=ant a simple

emblematic example- 3 million in deductions=lm<=span> told were taken for art space =but on closer examination it
turns out they cannot be used at all. (=ZERO benefit ) though you will be told yes they were deducted on the=return
they said that is the only real question you were focus=d on ! " were they deducted " not -" is t=ere a benefit " !! I
asked for the balance sheet a=d P and L for <=pan>Regan arts , a basic first step in order to =heck your financials.
"sorry we never got one?" tho=gh 9.8 million invested, no p&I, nothing!, a construction=project run amok , no budget,
the coo fired after only 3 month=. , no clue . fyi artspace finan=ials are also a total mess. ( no receivables ??). when i
asked=for a list of what got done and did not, i received the email =rom Brad basicailly mind you own business. so
much=was promised. !!!
As in your words prob=bly your closest friend and in order to turn the page. I hope the followin= to be constructive
Here is a list of th=ngs I think would be in your interest to get done asap .but de=initely not by me .
i suggest you form ne= grats. , hire a high level tax =artner. use your trading accounts as they remain a =paramount
requirement 16 months after i emailed you re their importa=ce. THe Phaidon transaction papered and =AO structured
as contemplated DOES NOT WORK , its as simple as that. =DOES NOT !!
I suggest again that you re-do =bank loans.
no need to pay interest at higher rates on boat or plane= . as Richard is now no longer trustee. re- do will, =AO make
apan>suydam executor , with Barry<Apan>, and john as back up. pay 1 million a year for executor r=le. get rid of
Judy Black trust, deal with gifts an= their tax returns, . review amounts to kids at fixed ages. put more=protections in for
Alex and Victoria. , =AO distribute some money to kids let them make decisions. , =AO decide art division with children
in attendance . have fire=drill done on estate. fill out estate returns as if you and Debra di=d today, choose advisers -
rick bronsteinHa=perin has a conflict that should be addressed.= A strategy of the use of art should be implemented. .
you have =AO tax consultants it consultants. plane operation consultant.=. boat consultants. architects, lighting , art,
legal, .=foundation , deal with TRA , BRH , rationalize investments. cash flow. report=ng, gaming disclosures. foreign,
gift.. prepare tax projections for 15 an= 16, . deal with neg basis ( tufts gain, debt financed. art partnership, p=edges.
sell stock, art, deal with phaidon de=t. =span>athene,? income , capital , foreign , exit= corporate, insurance regs, out
and inbound issues, basis, =AO appropriate discount rates. ? terminations. control. , qual=fied dividends. corporate
tolls, inversion rules. , grat issues, short swing and other sec disclosures= I still think you might consider a Rothshcild
bank trans=ction they have 150 b and a distribution network with n= products , private bank Rockefeller Rothschild.
financial service. =eal with UK visa issue sooner rather than later. we can talk about R=wen request re Athene , complex
2 billion in taxes on tr=nsaction. ?!
the facts as i see them=br> in June and then again Sept, we both agreed to a 50% of phaido= payout., then only after
weeks, wh=n you delayed any detailed discussion of money wanting to give the i=sue a thoughtful response ( which I
fully understand ) . you u=ilaterally changed changed our agreement. . 5m would be reserv=d for the future ? . and out
of the remaining 15m ,? i would receiveronly a third. ( note : I'm confident that both the d=bt , and the artspace
investment will also lead to = write off of another 30 m. plus ) In my dining room ,yo= were surprised when I said that i
require most people to pay =heir advisory fee up front so that I am assured that I will be prope=ly compensated for
my work when strategies are implemented . y=u may recall that you appeared offended and said " =C2 are you
suggesting that i would go back on my word " I sa=d no , of course not ! you are my closest of friends ,but my
experie=ce is that when amounts get large, people tend to get unhappy when i= actually comes time for them to pay
I included =n this letter the email i sent to you on April 15, =C2 the day i was examining your returns It laid out my
understand=ng of the compensation for a transaction of the magnitude to the penny of =he one just completed. though
the number was great it was clear. =AO When it appeared that the details could now be worked out I was t=e first to say
, it is too much money, however.
Phridon.. though this amount was already substantia=ly less than our agreed and negotiated formula. - I was=never
told that this was out of range. in fact, =AO alternative methods of payment . plane, or an -in-kind payment w=re
discussed ( ie including keeping the 30m=portion of fee outstanding till March ) ,I provided as you spe=ifically
requested a detailed step by step execution plan and=C2 reviewed all documents that i was given access to.
Phaidon<Apan> was not forthcoming ) in order to make my many cor=ections
I was then told that Alans

in=olvement warranted a discount . Even in the best of ligh= , though it is beyond question that not one time in th=
three years of his retainer has he ever proposed a uniqu= idea. (including any wayt to deal with the use issue o=
debras death ,or even the most basic review of your largest =sset by far , the BRH agreement. ) O.K. - lets sa= he made
a contribution to the plan and stretch reality beyond the p=le and say it was 50 %. though no one could posit such a
large=amount unless they were wearing a brightly colored clown suit. , =AO the payment associated with the deal was
known . It had bot= sent in writing and spoken about on the phone numerous times = a detailed execution plan was
provided . then and only=then after all was laid out for the group I was told that after a nu=ber of conversations with
brad karp that =AO a total of only 20m would be paid , (and even that was more than origin=lly contemplated ) for both
transactions . Leon I feel It was=C2 remarkably unfair. I wondered whether brad even kn=w of our prior agreement.?
I called him and he said he was nev=r told.?, I would ask that you I and Brad karp sit togeth=r if you think it would be
helpful.. I would like to send him this =mail, with your consent of course. If the transactions were n=ver consummated
, i would not be owed a dime, however , the expected=fee was known up front. , the detailed step by step plan was
f=llowed and overseen by me, the amount that I had request=d before the transaction was even begun, and had
already been =eavily discounted, out of friendship, from our agreement . I believe=the decision re only paying 20 m
has frankly , left =AO me felling quite uneasy.
=A0since you asked since last nov. i found=C2 11 million dollars in dormant accounts. 4 million dollars in eilee=s
drawer.. went through cash flows for phaidon showing th=t john murphy is not an accountant. redid your gagosian
co=tract , . organized structure in case of divorce. set up gift trust. stopped ada from including multiple times things not
in your interest. dealt wit= bad sales tax use tax income tax . created 8 millino i= deductions ,500k in mistakes , found
bank of scotland fbar problem.,

anyone i sent an email saying you would have to pay more.. on april 15.=C2 I sent an email detailing payments owed if
i could figure out the basis issue, =C2 please see attached, .
