thereafter for 6 months ie march may june . this can begin if i am able in January. I will immediately stop
work , if the payment is not received. If you want me to work this year until Jan 15 , it will be 10
million. paid upfront. after one year you will be left with a new estate plan a running office. staffed with
professionals overseen by Barry. ( hallelujah ) a tax plan . and an investment that returns more than any
painting you could possible own. . no agreement - no work. however - I of course will talk to Barry for the
hour that i promised , and take your guidance as to what I should say.

sent to you JAN 29th 2016

you've agreed that
Your office is a multi billion dollar responsibility. your children will inherit it , in order to oversee their
financial lives- I feel for you, truly ,but the facts are the facts, your ceo ( Brad) has provided one bad
document after another for over a year , no getting away from it, , bad cash flows no new IT, each time
with " its gettting better " no in fact -! its not. - the excuse, that Brad is not the numbers guy, is ludicrous.
of course he didnt actually prepare the statements. - no ceo would ,- but over and over he presented them to
you and me , after , holding them back for his personal review multiple times and after multiple drafts. weeks
of his editing, the consistant but "inexplicable "missing the obvious serious errors . ( gaming ) inaccuracies,
( cashflow ) and mistakes (tax returns). why, ?! the simple answer is that at best, he is a c minus, (note. I, like
you ,also give points for effort. )- ! an elegant art partnership gone fallow. ??!!I and its core reason to exist.
not used ? no docs for plane?, still ! why? no docs for decantings why? the docs for deal 1 received last
night , " no docs at all for deal 2, the biggest " . why wasn't Tom brought in , after 4 times of my incessant
reminders your admonition etc. the trading accounts ?
Barry Cohen is great. more like him please .
you asked , - I did my best trying to train your brad chosen people in the face of my telling you that they were
never going to be more than c-minuses, thousands of emails thousands ? Brad at its head . you can't as a
ceo, have an accountant give you multiple pages with the most important numbers missing altogether and not
notice, you and I saw the errrors right away ,as did my very junior bookeeper after only a cursory glance. He
told me he didnt know the details of his note? ! , my guess is that he wanted to pay less. no more than that, any
other story is blather. its silly. Talk to richard yourself.
re your estate. Yes another Brad issue - your will, needs revision. the tenants in common structure I assume
Alan has carefully walked you through. it is way overdue, needed and exciting. I won't list the more serious
issues in an email but we can speak over the weekend.
How can I help? We agreed at the time when you hired Castrucci , that when you fired him, I would bear no
responsibility

To: Melanie Spinella [REDACTED]

Leon, you hired me to produce a work of art. it was not inexpensive. the value far exceeds any other piece in
your collection.- by FAR . It took me 30 years to be able to craft such a work. I understand your desire to
modifiy my work, in doing so you have brad telling me , just a bit more red., here let me show
you, you yourself pick up a brush a add some strokes. you have joslin spray water on it to maintain it. I
vigorously complain that joslin in ruining my work . . you describe me as zeus, i describe it as artist and a
reaction to his work being ruined. however Im aware that you own the work and you have the right to paint
over it. tear it up , put it in the closet in the basement . its yours.

I was told that Toms office is sending someone in ,or some people in, to review "some things." brad told me
,the partnership accounting. I know absolutely nothing more than that. though bringing in his team was my idea
. Having them review things without even asking for my input , or let alone my direction ,is ridiculous. but.. I
