remind me- you've paid a great deal of money to date. that being said - If you want my involvement moving foward, I suggest you pay my regular l fee of 40 m . 20 now . 20 on completion or as per the invoice issues at the end of last year pay 30 all at once. -
To help out . im keenly aware of your current cash position. so I will consider an in-kind payment - real estate ( Miami ) , ,art , financing of my new plane (allows you to spread over years or of course the preferred cash. Get rid of Castrucci,it is over a year since the same story of findign the right guy at the top. you entire accounting needs to be re done. , office downsized, reporting re done. meetings to recitify, categlorize , the various docs re appollo , rowen , suydam, alan etc. Brad can direct investment guys, ( hopefully) my people will be in your office for a few months . reorganizing IF you decide not to pay I fully understand, as I m sure you will re my no longer spending any serious time on these things.
Of course re any non financial issues , I am always there for you and will continue to be the best friend I can be .
Steve jobs said that everyday he woke up , and asked himself , if he knew he was going to die tomorow , would he do the same thing that he had planned for the day- he wanted to check that he was doing things that he really wanted to. after three days of getting back an answer of no, he would change what he was going to do. . he also did not believe in LONG term plans. I dont think either one of us will figure out what we want to do long term so my thinking is that we should try to have fun everyday, and welcome serendipity.
I think another trust and estate lawyer should be brought in to deal with the issues of how not to allow your family to get screwed by your partners on death . Alan, for years told me that paul weiss had drawn the docs so no issue but when recently pushed by my new fire drill he asked akin to draft .?! PLease ask brad about why he keeps talking about flow . I dont know what he means, its so silly . . this is only about money control and protection .
I am leaving monday night now. free to speak in the afternoon
