Transaction complete !
. this - in spite of your collection of Elysium misfits. !!!
With Brad out of the office and unable to run his usual interference , the level of his utter incompetence was brought front and center, he may be a step up from Eileen, but if he is , then it is not certainly not by much, . Though you and I have spent many many hours discussing the importance of details and mechanics. I was not shown one document re phaidon,- not one.. Brad wanted to keep it private between he and his so called " advisors " however as he was out of the office during the most important transaction of the year, I did get to spend time with joslin Joe and john, - the situation in your office is wholly ludicrous - to summarize - the list I provided to Brad last December - things I thought were a priority to get done after consulting with your office still remains virtually undone.

IT, still desperately needed- reporting flawed cumbersome and inaccurate . all done by hand as one -off exercises , - airplane: re structure, (my only suggested priority in june ) is really ,no further ahead, ,consultants up the kazoo but nothing at all done.( the office was told that i cannot even see the proposals received without brads specific authorization ) - brad has no idea even as to what questions to ask. he knows little of finance, is run roughshod over by almost everyone in the office. he is a little man , using 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 rampant ie 3 million in deductions Im told are 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 question they get asked ! " were they deducted " not -" is there a benefit " !! I asked for the balance sheet and P and L for Regan arts , a basic first step in order to check your financials. "sorry we never got one?" though 9.8 million invested, no p&l, nothing , a construction project run amok , no budget, the coo fired after only 3 months. , no clue . I can add that artspace financials are also a total mess.
As your friend and in order toturn the page. I will try to be constructive
The following is a list of things I think would be in your interest to get done asap .but definitely not by me .

i suggest you form new grats. , hire a high level tax partner. use your trading accounts as they remain the paramount requirement 16 months after i emailed to you their importance. , I suggest you consider having the 49percent of phaidon merged into artspance and have Richard buy artspace. 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, make suydam executor , with Barry, and john as back up. pay 1 million a year for executor role. get rid of Judy Black trust, deal with gifts and their tax returns, . review amounts to kids at fixed ages. put more protections in for Alex and Victoria. , distribute some money to kids let them make decisions. ,
