I wasn't surprised the judge denied the motion to dismiss this time around. My argument is better suited for a summary judgment motion at this point. Mike Kranz did tell me that the bank was discussing settlement w/ Hardman and had offered him a 35% reduction in payoff amount or short sale approval which he was considering. I asked him to please keep me in the loop. More later. Sorry for not letting you know about hearing sooner. Trent Law Offices of W. TRENT STEELE 8902 SE Bridge Rd.

Trent Steele Subject: RE: Mike Hardman don't know whether I sent you an e-mail or deleted it instead of sending. I wrote to remind you to file for all Hardman Development records, especially the bank statements and check register, from Mike. Follow up with a call to Mark. I am worried he may destroy the records and say he never saved them. I want to see where the $1.4 million went. I never signed any checks or saw any bank statements, bills from our contractor, etc. Steve EFTA00768965 Original message from "W. Trent Steele" Thanks, I got the notice of lis pendens. I'll look in the court file to see if a foreclosure has been filed. I suspect his next step might be to file for bankruptcy. NIP W a W Law Offices of W. TRENT STEELE 8902 SE Bridge Rd.

From: [mind): Sent: Thursday, October 08, 2009 9:54 AM To: Trent Steele Subject: Mike Hardman J Dear Trent, I think I know why Mike called me. I just looked him up on Palm Beach & Citrus Co. Clerk's websites. Stonegate Bank filed a Lis Pendens on the Citrus Springs property he took a mortgage on with Roland because they are seeking to foreclose. The Lis Pendens is filed in both counties. My guess is the old Choice property is worth less than he owes on it and he is not paying any of the mortgages, so the whole ball is unraveling. I am faxing them to Steve o they are avialbale in your computer. Law Offices of W. TRENT STEELE EFTA00768966
