Leon, I decided last week that there was little or no upside in disturbing your well earned holiday
especiaily as you seemed so peaceful happy and smiley ,getting yourself in shape and truly enjoying your
family time. etc. however the situation in your family office is unresolved. I am aware that brad starts
monday howver, two last days of the year madness. timber.deal not complete no jpm,acct activity no
partnership docs , old stock sales not complete , no bank doc redo. no phaidon note restructure, ., no
boat expense review. airplane same ,topco midco.etc still not finished ( trustee ) , projections mixed
with fiction. , legal exp out of control. no care for admin, silly ( audit). tom conversation with joslin.
notes. debra, trustee notes. trustees hiring . bens audit. interest payable made hoopjumping last day of
year. after weeks and months. of lectures , gifts to discuss- staff. -houseproject mgmt. . I will continue
to try , I had offered ajoint call with eileen before you left. as i said before , joslin takes instructions from
eileen. he said it was made clear to him that he doesn't work for me but works for you. . I tried.

Brad Wechsler is asking if you could meet for a half hour with him and Rich Joslin to discuss Use Tax
Refund. Below are available dates/times...below that is your schedule. OK for me to schedule in?:
NO sorry not until i hear from leon
leon. to be fair, I had sent the first note to you one year ago . stating that my work would come to an
end on oct 15. that day had meaning as everything would be closed. you asked that i continue to help
brad. as of nov though he would officially start in jan. I said ok, but ..... " you told me to continue as we
would work something out" I told you my fee then was 40 . feb you came with ben while kathy ruemmler
was here. and said next week, debra got bad news. and I quickly prioritzed not adding stress to your
situation. I wont regurgitate the interim, though millions of dollars were saved since. millions. . it is now
one year later and you propose 10 mlllion , plus a contingent fee . I have said that i would work with
you , and if contingent and a percentage of something. I strongly believe that is not in your interest. I
continue to put our friendship first and dont want you to write a check for over 100million andthe i will
have to listen to lewie for the next few years. but if you prefer over my objection a percentage deal then it
should be of all savings not just phaidon. ( a random concept) . The idea that i am somehow even
marginally responsible for neither you nor heather , ever telling me that there was an unresolved issue,
though you said you had been pinged a number of times is emblematic .
I can do a call with you and Karp. anytime you like today, but i can assure you 100 percent that there is
no light between our positions. ZERO. and he is ready to do his best to try to explain it to you.
