AFFIDAVIT OF GLENN DUBIN
STATE OF
FLORIDA
) ss.:
COUNTY OF PALM-BEACH
Glenn Dubin, being duly sworn, deposes and says:
1.
I am over twenty-one years of age and am competent to testify to the matters
stated in this affidavit. I have personal knowledge of the facts and statements herein.
Each of the facts and statements herein is true and correct.
2.
Starting in 2002, an entity that I both owned and controlled, currently known as
Dubin & Swieca Asset Management, LLC ("DSAM"), itself-owned interests in the
general partner and in the investment manager of..
Zwirn Special Opportunities Fund,
(the "Zwirn Fund"). The Zwim Fund was named after Daniel Zwim ("Zwim").
While Zwim was responsible for the day-to-day management and operations of the Zwim
Fund, after Zwirn spun off his business from Hlghbridge /Zwim, [Jeffrey. we do not
identify Highbridge/Zwim anywhere previously. Isn't it better to indicate that Zwim
used to be affiliated with DSAM, the entity that Glenn owned and controlled?] -I helped
introduce investors to Zwim, invested my personal and family foundation assets with
Zwim, and my firm allocated assets of Highbridge Capital Corporation (HCC) to an
account managed by Zwim's company which was also the investment manager of the
Zwim Fund.
3.
One of the early investors that I introduced to Zwirn was Jeffrey Epstein
("Epstein"). Epstein was both a personal friend of mine and a longrtimeervit investor in
EFTA00727481
HCC. My understanding is that Epstein subsequently decided to invest assets in the
Zwirn Fund through an entity called Financial Trust Company, Inc.
4.
In the fall of 2006, Zwim called me and told me that he was firing the Zwim
Fund's Chief Financial Officer. Zwirn told me that there had been various irregularities
at the Zwirn Fund, including that investors' money was used to pay for an airplane that
would be owned by Zwirn's company.
5.
During October 2006, Zwim told me that he was making attempts to contact each
investor in the Zwirn Fund, including Epstein, to explain the irregularities to them.
6.
After speaking with Zwim, Epstein called me very upset. Epstein said that Zwim
had initially described the irregularities as "nonmaterial", but on a subsequent call,
Zwim's description of the issues made it clear to Epstein that the problems were in fact
very material.
Epstein told me that when he confronted Zwim about the earlier
description of the irregularties, Zwirn said that his counsel had told Zwim to use the word
"non-material". Epstein felt that Zwim had lied to him. Epstein told me that he wanted
to redeem Financial Trust Company, Inc.'s entire investment in the Zwim Fund
immediately and that Epstein had made that demand to Zwim.
7.
I subsequently spoke to Zwim about Epstein's demand. Zwim was concerned
that a complete redemption could cause a "run-on-the-bank." Zwim asked me to discuss
with Epstein reducing his demand to one-half of Financial Trust Company, Inc.'s total
capital account -in the Zwirn Fund at the time, and I agreed I would discuss it with
Epstein.
EFTA00727482
8.
Subsequently, I participated in a three-way call with both Zwim and Epstein.
During this call, Epstein demanded from Zwim the withdrawal of all of Financial Trust
Company, Inc.'s capital account in the Zwim Fund. _Epstein said he wanted all of
Financial Trust Company, Inc.'s his-140 plus million dollars -immediately-z: -Zwim
responded that such a redemption could cause a "run-on-the-bank" and asked Epstein to
reduce his redemption demand to half of that amountc Zwim said that if Epstein made
only a partial redemption request, Zwim would honor the request quickly. During this
discussion with Epstein,_Epstein agreed to redeem et-slightly more thant half7 and said he
would redeem 80 million dollars. Zwim did not dispute that Epstein had the right to the
total redemption of the Financial Trust Company, Inc.'s capital account in the Zwim
Fund. It is my understanding, based on subsequent conversations with Epstein, that after
this conversation, Epstein made a written request for the partial redemption of the
Financial Trust Company, Inc.'s investment in the Zwim Fund and that Zwim refused to
honor this request.
