| | 46 | | | |--------|-----------------------------------------------------|--------|-------------------------------------------------------| | | Page 6 | | Page 7 | | 1 | 200 Greenwich Avenue, Greenwich, | 1 | question that I ask that you don't | | 2 | Connecticut. | 2 | understand, please let me know. I'm happy | | 3 | EXAMINATION BY | 3 | to try to rephrase or clarify, to the best | | 4 | MR. BASSETT: | 4 | that I can. | | 5 | Q<br>Again, by way of introduction, | 5 | I'm not sure how long we'll go | | 6 | Mr. de Neree, I'm Nick Bassett. As I said, | 6 | today, but if at any time you need a break | | 7 | I represent Luc Despins as the Chapter 11 | 7 | for any reason, don't hesitate to let us | | 8 | Trustee who's the plaintiff in this | 8 | know. We want to make sure you're | | 9 | litigation. Thanks again for your time and | 9 | comfortable and have any breaks that you | | 10 | for being here today. We all appreciate it. | 10 | need. The only thing we will both ask is | | 11 | Mr. de Neree, have you had the | 11 | that if we have a question that's pending to | | 12 | pleasure of sitting for a deposition before, | 12 | you, that we would just get an answer to | | 13 | or is this your first time? | 13 | that question before we take a break. | | 14 | A<br>First time. | 14 | There may be some objections by | | 15 | Q<br>Okay. In that case, I'll just | 15 | counsel after questions today. Generally | | 16 | spend a couple of minutes kind of giving you | 16 | speaking you can just let the objection be | | 17 | the lay of the land in terms of how today's | 17 | made and then you would still answer the | | 18 | going to proceed. | 18 | question after that. You'll kind of see how | | 19 | To state the obvious, I will ask | 19 | that goes as we get going. | | 20 | you a series of questions. Mr. Major, who's | 20 | Just for the record, are you alone | | 21 | also here on behalf of the defendants, may | 21 | in that room today, Mr. de Neree? | | 22 | have questions when I'm done. As you know, | 22 | A<br>Yes, I am. | | 23 | based on what just occurred, you're under | 23 | Q<br>Do you have access to any email or | | 24 | oath. So we both ask that you answer our | 24 | text or anything like that while we're on | | 25 | questions truthfully. If there is a | 25 | the deposition? | | | | | | | | | | | | | Page 8 | | Page 9 | | | | | | | 1 | A<br>Email going back to the issue at | 1 | Banker at that time and left Coldwell Banker | | 2 | hand? | 2 | about a year and a half ago to go to | | 3 | Q<br>No. I just meant like on your | 3 | Compass. | | 4 | screen, your computer screen for example | 4 | Q<br>When have you say at that time | | 5 | your Outlook up, I would close that out just | 5<br>6 | what do you mean? | | 6<br>7 | so there's no issue about whether you're | 7 | A<br>Meaning from the beginning when I | | 8 | receiving communication during the | 8 | had my real estate license until a year and | | 9 | deposition, that's all?<br>A<br>No, no it's not up. | 9 | a half ago.<br>Q<br>Got it, understood. And as a real | | 10 | Q<br>Okay, got it. So, Mr. de Neree, | 10 | estate salesperson, do you represent both | | 11 | you are a licensed real estate broker; is | 11 | buyers and sellers? | | 12 | that correct? | 12 | A<br>Yes. | | 13 | A<br>Yes. Salesperson. | 13 | Q<br>And if you can just describe for | | 14 | Q<br>Salesperson, okay. Do you | 14 | me if you're representing a buyer who's | | 15 | primarily focus on selling homes in | 15 | looking to purchase a home. Can you just | | 16 | Connecticut or is your footprint broader | 16 | kind of just tell me what are the services | | 17 | than that? | 17 | that you provide for them? | | 18 | A<br>No. Connecticut. | 18 | A<br>Well, I basically search out a | | 19 | Q<br>How long have you been a real | 19 | property that is appropriate for them in | | 20 | estate salesperson? | 20 | terms of their budget and preferences. | | 21 | A<br>Roughly since 2011, I believe '11 | 21 | Q<br>So the perspective buyer would | | 22 | or '12. It was '11. | 22 | tell you what type of property they're | | 23 | Q<br>Okay. Got it, and you work for | 23 | looking for and then give you some direction | | 24 | Compass; is that right? | 24 | as to what to go find for them, you would go | | 25 | A<br>I do now. I worked for Coldwell | 25 | out and do that and report back what you |

| | 46 | | | |----------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | Page 10 | | Page 11 | | 1 | found. Is that generally how it works? | 1 | this. This looks like an assortment of | | 2 | A<br>Yes. | 2 | sales that I've had over the years. | | 3 | Q<br>And I assume typically before a | 3 | Q<br>That's obviously you and your | | 4 | buyer decides to make an offer on the home | 4 | picture there on the first page? | | 5 | they may visit the property? | 5 | A<br>Yes. | | 6 | A<br>Yes. | 6 | Q<br>And if you look it says that | | 7 | Q<br>Okay. I'll ask my colleague to | 7 | you're a water front and luxury property | | 8 | put tab one on the screen or into the chat | 8 | specialist, is that an accurate description | | 9 | if she could. And, Mr. de Neree, just let | 9 | of how you would describe your real estate | | 10 | me know once you have that open. | 10 | practice? | | 11 | A<br>Social media, transactions, yes | 11 | A<br>Yes. | | 12 | sales. | 12 | Q<br>I guess, what does that mean to | | 13 | Q<br>So you have the document up? | 13 | you? | | 14 | A<br>Yep. | 14 | A<br>Well, luxury is obvious. It's not | | 15 | Q<br>I'd ask the court reporter please | 15 | low priced homes. And water front is | | 16 | mark this document as de Neree Exhibit 1. | 16 | because of my background. I'm a sailor and | | 17 | (Whereupon, Emile de Neree's | 17 | I live on the water myself, I live in a | | 18 | Compass Transactions was marked | 18 | community of 100 homes all of which are on | | 19 | as Exhibit 1 for identification | 19 | the water. So I've had a lot of local | | 20 | as of this date.) | 20 | transactions within the community and also | | 21 | Q<br>I believe, Mr. de Neree, this is a | 21 | all over Greenwich and I tend to focus on | | 22 | profile of yours that we obtained from the | 22 | water front because of my expertise. | | 23 | Compass website; does this look familiar to | 23 | Q<br>Understood. And then below it | | 24 | you? | 24 | says past sales and it lists a bunch of | | 25 | A<br>No. I've never actually seen | 25 | properties. Are these properties that | | | | | | | | Page 12 | | Page 13 | | | | | | | 1 | you've sold, bought, both, just trying to | 1 | A<br>Yeah. I only know him by Miles. | | 2 | understand what that means? | 2 | Q<br>But if I say Ho Won Kwok, you'll | | 3 | A<br>It is a combination of both. Not | 3<br>4 | understand now Miles to be Ho Won Kwok, who | | 4<br>5 | just where I was on the sale side, but I | 5 | is the Chapter 11 debtor in this case, | | 6 | believe it was some definitely here on the | 6 | correct?<br>A<br>Yeah. I understand. And also | | 7 | buy side, it's a combination of both, yes.<br>Q<br>The second property is 323 Taconic | 7 | from social media that he went by several | | 8 | Road in Greenwich, which is a property that | 8 | names. I was only aware of one, Miles. | | 9 | we'll be talking more about today. I'll | 9 | Q<br>Understood. I'll go ahead and | | 10 | just ask you, did that property actually | 10 | refer to him as Miles today, then. | | 11 | sell for the \$7.495 million? | 11 | Did you at some point develop a | | 12 | A<br>No. It did not. | 12 | professional relationship with Miles? | | 13 | Q<br>Are some of these list prices | 13 | A<br>Yes. | | 14 | instead of -- | 14 | MR. MAJOR: Objection to form. | | 15 | A<br>Those are probably original list | 15 | Q<br>Can you describe that relationship | | 16 | prices. | 16 | to me? | | 17 | Q<br>Understood, okay. | 17 | A<br>I'm sorry. | | 18 | A<br>Not even necessarily the list | 18 | Q<br>Would you please describe that | | 19 | price at the time of the transaction. | 19 | relationship? | | 20 | Q<br>Got it, got it. So are you, | 20 | A<br>Was that an objection? | | 21 | turning to the matter at hand, if you will, | 21 | Q<br>Yes. Mr. Major said objection to | | 22 | are you familiar with, Mr. de Neree, with a | 22 | form, which is an objection you may hear | | 23 | person named Ho Won Kwok who is the debtor | 23 | more than once today. And as I said before, | | 24<br>25 | in this Chapter 11 case who has otherwise<br>gone by Miles Kwok or Miles Guo? | 24<br>25 | that's something that the lawyers will deal<br>with later. For your purposes, you just |

| | 46 | | | |----|----------------------------------------------|----|----------------------------------------------| | | Page 14 | | Page 15 | | 1 | answer the question. | 1 | actually not with Miles, but Max first, was | | 2 | A<br>I see. Understood. What was your | 2 | around October of 2018 and the ultimate | | 3 | question again quickly? | 3 | transaction of this property we're talking | | 4 | Q<br>The question was just whether you | 4 | about didn't take place until February | | 5 | could please describe for me the nature of | 5 | of 2000. | | 6 | that relationship with Miles? | 6 | Q<br>Understood. And do you have some | | 7 | MR. MAJOR: Objection to form. | 7 | documents there with you Mr. de Neree? | | 8 | A<br>I showed him several properties | 8 | A<br>I do have some, yeah. | | 9 | over about a one and a half year period. | 9 | Q<br>Can you just let me know the | | 10 | And he would tell me what he liked, what he | 10 | document that you were just looking at. Is | | 11 | didn't like, then there would be followup | 11 | that -- | | 12 | from his assistant, Max Krasner, about | 12 | A<br>Well, one document -- just for | | 13 | details if he wanted to see more, what he | 13 | clarification, I do not have any emails | | 14 | liked a lot, what he didn't like as much. | 14 | because my email account was taken away from | | 15 | He would sort of give me more feedback, if | 15 | me. Except for the important documents that | | 16 | you will. And then I would set up other | 16 | I would have made hard copy of from my file | | 17 | showings as they came available, in other | 17 | because I was doing that at the time, I | | 18 | words as properties were listed and I | 18 | don't have every email. I have, I was able | | 19 | thought he would be interested in them, I | 19 | to reconstruct some of my texts, but I don't | | 20 | would show those properties. | 20 | have emails and really all I have is some | | 21 | Q<br>Thank you. So you said that this | 21 | key documents, like offer to purchase, | | 22 | was over, I believe approximately one year | 22 | exclusive right to represent the buyer and | | 23 | period or was it longer than that? | 23 | accepted offer on this property and | | 24 | A<br>It was a bit longer than that. I | 24 | ultimately the contract to purchase real | | 25 | believe my first communication with Max, | 25 | estate, which is the closing document. I | | | Page 16 | | Page 17 | | 1 | have some documents regarding the inspection | 1 | said I have a client who's interested in | | 2 | of the property during the week that this | 2 | looking at some properties, I understand you | | 3 | took place and that's about it. And I have | 3 | have water front experience. He likes the | | 4 | a nondisclosure confidentiality agreement | 4 | idea of water front, he has a big boat, he | | 5 | that I signed around that date and that | 5 | would like to live on the water in | | 6 | would have been one of the first sort of | 6 | Greenwich. What can you show us. And I | | 7 | actions, that's why I refer to October 22, | 7 | went through a bunch of things and I said I | | 8 | 2018. | 8 | could show this, this and this, but there | | 9 | Q<br>Understood, okay. So I'm going to | 9 | | | 10 | | | wasn't much water front available at that | | 11 | show you some documents today, some | 10 | time so we ended up looking at other | | | additional documents today. And I think | 11 | properties also. So that's how the | | 12 | once I've done that and finished that I may | 12 | relationship got started. | | 13 | ask you if there are any other documents you | 13 | Q<br>So Mr. Krasner said he -- that | | 14 | have there that we have not shown, I think | 14 | Miles was wanting to find a home for himself | | 15 | we'll proceed that way. And then we may ask | 15 | in Connecticut, in Greenwich? | | 16 | that those documents to be provided to us if | 16 | MR. MAJOR: Objection to form. | | 17 | they have not been already. | 17 | A<br>Correct that's what he said, yes. | | 18 | A<br>Okay. | 18 | Q<br>Okay. So you understood that | | 19 | Q<br>So you said the relationship began | 19 | whatever property you might find it would be | | 20 | around roughly October 2018, that's your | 20 | one for Miles? | | 21 | recollection? | 21 | MR. MAJOR: Objection to form. | | 22 | A<br>Yes. | 22 | A<br>Correct. | | 23 | Q<br>How did you first come in contact | 23 | Q<br>I'd like my colleague to show | | 24 | with the Miles? | 24 | Tab 2, please? | | 25 | A<br>Max called me, asked for me and | 25 | A<br>Yeah, that's the one I was |

Do you have any | | 3 | Q<br>Thank you. | 3 | understanding of who or what Hudson Diamond | | 4 | MR. BASSETT: Just give me a | 4 | is? | | 5 | moment. I'd like the court reporter | 5 | A<br>No. I was told by Max that this | | 6 | to please mark this document as de | 6 | is one of the companies that they owned, | | 7 | Neree Exhibit 2. | 7 | that's all. | | 8 | (Whereupon, Exclusive Right to | 8 | Q<br>When you say they owned, what do | | 9 | Represent Buyer Agreement | 9 | you mean? | | 10 | (GREE002323) was marked as | 10 | A<br>Miles, that Miles owned. | | 11 | Exhibit 2 for identification as | 11 | Q<br>Okay. | | 12 | of this date.) | 12 | A<br>Yes, that's what I was told at the | | 13 | Q<br>And just for the record, this | 13 | time, I'm just looking at the signature line | | 14 | document is Bates labeled at the bottom of | 14 | cause I can't remember, it basically says | | 15 | the first page GREE002323. | 15 | Hudson Diamond and an unrecognizable name. | | 16 | A<br>Yeah. | 16 | You know, there was an addendum to this. I | | 17 | Q<br>So this is the exclusive right to | 17 | don't know if you have that. | | 18 | represent buyer agreement. Is this a | 18 | Q<br>When you say addendum, is that in | | 19 | standard agreement that you would execute | 19 | paragraph two where it says, "See Exhibit A | | 20 | with a perspective buyer of property who is | 20 | attached hereto"? | | 21 | retaining you for your services? | 21 | A<br>Yeah. | | 22 | A<br>Yes. | 22 | Q<br>We do not have that, to my | | 23 | Q<br>And the agreement is dated | 23 | knowledge. If you happen to have that, | | 24 | January 13, 2019. Do you see that? | 24 | that's another document. | | 25 | A<br>Yeah. | 25 | A<br>The reason why is this. Because | | | | | | | | | | | | | Page 20 | | Page 21 | | 1 | they crossed out a whole section about | 1 | owned by Miles, correct? | | 2 | compensation, the whole thing. And it | 2 | A<br>Correct. | | 3 | became rather narrow. And they said, we | 3 | Q<br>I think you also had testified | | 4 | will only compensate you for properties that | 4 | that Mr. Krasner had reached out to you in | | 5 | you have shown Miles. | 5 | order to find a property for Miles. | | 6 | So I submitted a list of five | 6 | So my question is, I guess, how do | | 7 | properties or four or five properties. And | 7 | you sort of -- is it your understanding that | | 8 | subsequently asked to have a few more added, | 8 | Miles was going to use Hudson Diamond to | | 9 | which I had also shown him, but they never | 9 | acquire the property for him? Is that the | | 10 | added it to the exhibit. But the properties | 10 | relationship between the two? I'm just | | 11 | were 125 Pecksland Road, which was the first | 11 | trying to understand. | | 12 | one I showed him. 586 Roundhill Road. 373 | 12 | MR. MAJOR: Objection to form. | | 13 | Taconic, which is the subject property. | 13<br>14 | A<br>No. I had no assumption like that | | 14 | Private island on Connecticut Gold Coast. | 15 | because I was under the impression that he | | 15<br>16 | Wallacks Point was the actual address. And | 16 | owned many different companies, and I had no | | 17 | any additional properties in Connecticut<br>that Coldwell Banker presents to buyer and | 17 | idea in which way he was going to purchase<br>the property at the time. | | 18 | buyer agrees to view. | 18 | Q<br>Understood. | | 19 | So he added this for my | 19 | A<br>I was just representing Miles. | | 20 | protection, call it, so that I would be | 20 | And I hoped that this Hudson Diamond was a | | 21 | covered under this agreement. | 21 | legitimate company. I did not research it | | 22 | Q<br>Okay. Understood. | 22 | or anything like that. I was, at the time, | | 23 | And back to Hudson Diamond. So I | 23 | just hoping that he would have an interest | | 24 | think what you just testified was that you | 24 | in one of those properties and proceed. | | 25 | were told by Mr. Krasner, that was an entity | 25 | Q<br>As a real estate salesperson, in |

MAJOR: Objection to form. | | 4 | A<br>Yes. Many times. | 4 | A<br>I mean, I knew Miles by his first | | 5 | MR. MAJOR: Objection to form. | 5 | name, so I did not notice it before. But, | | 6 | Q<br>Is that what happened here? | 6 | yeah, that would have meant for me that this | | 7 | MR. MAJOR: Objection to form. | 7 | was, in fact, for Miles. | | 8 | A<br>Yes. It happened here. | 8 | Q<br>Understood. Back to the | | 9 | Q<br>So you spoke a little bit about | 9 | compensation provision that you mentioned, I | | 10 | the compensation -- I guess, actually before | 10 | was going to ask you why that was crossed | | 11 | I go to that. At the bottom, if you look at | 11 | out. So thanks for that explanation. | | 12 | the bottom right-hand corner of each page of | 12 | As to the properties that you did | | 13 | this agreement, it says, underneath buyer's | 13 | show, how was it agreed that you would be | | 14 | initials, in all caps, Miles Guo. | 14 | compensated? | | 15 | Do you see that? | 15 | A<br>There is no promise of | | 16 | It's small. You may have to zoom | 16 | compensation for any showings I do, | | 17 | in. | 17 | regardless of how man, short of a sale. I | | 18 | A<br>I'm sorry, where do you say you | 18 | can only be compensated in the case of a | | 19 | see this? | 19 | sale. | | 20 | Q<br>The bottom right-hand corner of | 20 | Q<br>Okay. And in the case of a sale, | | 21 | every page of this. If you -- | 21 | you would, of course, receive a commission; | | 22 | A<br>Yeah. I see it now. I never saw | 22 | is that right? | | 23 | it before. Let me make sure it's on the | 23 | A<br>Correct. | | 24 | original. Yes. It is on the original. I | 24 | Q<br>Understood. If you look at the | | 25 | never saw that before. Yes. | 25 | part where it says buyer's obligations, | | | | | | | | Page 24 | | Page 25 | | | | | | | 1 | that's paragraph six. I wanted to ask you a | 1 | Q<br>My question for you is: Did you | | 2 | couple of questions about that. | 2 | ever receive, in connection with this | | 3 | A<br>Yeah. Paragraph six you said? | 3 | engagement, any of the information | | 4 | Q<br>That's correct. And I think, | 4 | referenced here concerning buyer's needs and | | 5 | Mr. de Neree, as difficult as it might be, I | 5 | qualifications, including personal, | | 6<br>7 | think for the record, if you can just try to | 6<br>7 | financial and confidential information? | | 8 | use the one on your screen, zooming in if | 8 | A<br>Not really. No. I mean, it | | 9 | possible, that way there's no -- I don't<br>want there to be any ambiguity about whether | 9 | was -- very few details were given to me.<br>Other than what he liked, what he didn't | | 10 | we're looking at the exact same document. | 10 | like, maybe why he didn't like it and that | | 11 | A<br>No. We're looking at the exact | 11 | was it. | | 12 | same document. And this is standard, call | 12 | Q<br>So you didn't receive any | | 13 | it Coldwell Banker standard document. | 13 | information regarding Miles' financial -- | | 14 | Q<br>Understood. And I just want to | 14 | A<br>No. | | 15 | ask you a couple of quick questions about | 15 | Q<br>-- situation? | | 16 | it. | 16 | A<br>No. Never. | | 17 | So the first line in that says, | 17 | Q<br>The next line talks about buyer | | 18 | well, it says, "Buyer's obligations: A, | 18 | being obligated to pay for out-of-pocket | | 19 | buyer will cooperate with Coldwell Banker; | 19 | expenses. | | 20 | one, by providing all information necessary | 20 | Do you see that? | | 21 | to evaluate buyer's needs and | 21 | A<br>Correct. | | 22 | qualifications, including personal, | 22 | Q<br>Were there any out-of-pocket | | 23 | financial and confidential information." | 23 | expenses that you incurred in the engagement | | 24<br>25 | Do you see that?<br>A<br>Yes. | 24<br>25 | that the buyer paid for?<br>A<br>No. He paid directly for the |

Which, again, you know, | 8 | had with him at the properties. | | | 9 | probably I could have nailed them, but at | 9 | Q<br>So you met Miles in person when | | | 10 | the time, that wasn't my concern.

I | | | 11 | Mr. Krasner, would it have been similar to | 11 | did contact the legal department of Coldwell | | | 12 | these text messages? | 12 | Banker after I was first made aware that I | | | 13 | A<br>Yes. | 13 | might have to be deposed.

Yes, I see that. | 7 | Q<br>And then in the next text message | | | | 8 | Q<br>And then you say: | 8 | you say, and this is January 12, 2019, you | | | | 9 | "I will get back as soon as I hear | 9 | say: | | | | 10 | more.

They would have come from | 18 | Do you see that? | | | | 19 | the MLS. There is an email function in the | 19 | A<br>Yes. | | | | 20 | MLS that allows you to send properties as an | 20 | Q<br>I gather from this, correct me if | | | | 21 | attachment, which are then openable and | 21 | I'm wrong, that 125 Pecksland Road was one | | | | 22 | reviewable by the clients, with all the | 22 | of the properties you were showing Miles? | | | | 23 | details of the listing. | 23 | A<br>Yes. | | | | 24 | Q<br>Got it. And this message that you | 24 | Q<br>Was there a meeting that occurred | | | | 25 | sent here, where you're asking Mr. Krasner | 25 | at that property? | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Page 36 | | Page 37 | | | | | | | | | | | 1 | A<br>Yes. | 1 | know. | | | | 2 | Q<br>And this -- this message was dated | 2 | Q<br>Okay. The meeting whenever it | | | | 3 | January 12, 2019, do you know when the | 3 | occurred, I think you already said this, but | | | | 4 | meeting occurred? | 4 | Miles was present? | | | | 5 | A<br>Probably January 12, but I would | 5 | A<br>Yes. | | | | 6 | have to look up to see if that was a | 6 | Q<br>Did you look at just the 125 | | | | 7 | Saturday or -- or -- but -- but from the | 7 | Pecksland Road property or did you look at | | | | 8<br>9 | text messages I would -- I would say it | 8<br>9 | more properties? | | | | 10 | happened on January 12, because that's the | 10 | A<br>I don't recollect the dates and so | | | | 11 | morning where he confirmed that Miles was | 11 | forth, and so on of each individual showing. | | | | 12 | going to look at the properties and that the | 12 | It's possible I would have shown him one or | | | | | name of the driver was Warren. And his cell | 13 | two more that day, but the one that sticks | | | | 13<br>14 | phone number in case I needed to get a hold | 14 | in my mind is the Pecksland property.

But that was | 15 | look at my -- at the list of properties that<br>I did show him over time; it was 125 | | | | 16 | definitely the first time I met Miles. | 16 | | | | | 17 | Q<br>Okay. And -- and as you look<br>forward, and I'll get to this in a second, | 17 | Pecksland, 586 Round Hill, and 373 Taconic.<br>Those technically could have been around the | | | | 18 | but the January 14, 2019 text messages says, | 18 | same time or even on the same date. | | | | 19 | "Miles left his sunglasses in," it says | 19 | But I -- I don't have a strong | | | | 20 | "bone."

And as I said, I | 5 | decision? | | | 6 | would then subsequently get more feedback | 6 | MR.

And what language was Miles | 18 | refresh your recollection that there were, | | | 19 | speaking during these conversations? | 19 | in fact, multiple properties that would have | | | 20 | A<br>English. | 20 | been shown at that time? | | | 21 | Q<br>And based on these interactions, | 21 | A<br>Yes. | | | 22 | what was your -- did you ever come to gain | 22 | Q<br>And then the January 14, 2019 text | | | 23 | an impression as to who would ultimately be | 23 | message, that's the next one below that, | | | 24 | making the decision as to whether or not to | 24 | that Mr. Krasner sent to you says, "Offer | | | 25 | make an offer on a property? | 25 | 4 million on Taconic Road.

And to the best of your | 1 | you have an understanding of why time was of | | 2 | recollection, can you describe your | 2 | the essence for Miles? | | 3 | interaction with Miles during that visit? | 3 | MR. MAJOR: Objection to form. | | 4 | A<br>He came with the usual entourage; | 4 | A<br>No. Other than -- other than that | | 5 | driver, security, et cetera, et cetera. And | 5 | he wanted it quickly, that's all. | | 6 | I -- I believe his wife was there for this | 6 | Q<br>Okay. And like -- like the last | | 7 | visit. If not the first visit, the second | 7 | visit he described, I assume Miles asked | | 8 | visit. I believe they had two visits to | 8 | questions about the property during this | | 9 | this property. One day and then the next | 9 | visit, et cetera? | | 10 | day or a -- a day in between. | 10 | A<br>Yes. | | 11 | And the asking price was | 11 | Q<br>And, again, what was the language | | 12 | considerably higher.

I don't know. Just | | 2 | whatever. No. No reason. | 2 | by memory. | | 3 | Q<br>When Mr. Despins called you for | 3 | Q<br>Okay. You also mentioned that you | | 4 | the first time, what did he tell you about | 4 | received a subpoena to show up in New York | | 5 | the case? | 5 | City, correct? | | 6 | MR. BASSETT: Object to form. | 6 | A<br>Yes. | | 7 | A<br>As I said, he said, we've seen | 7 | Q<br>And I think you were starting to | | 8 | your name on documents involving the | 8 | say that you actually traveled to New York | | 9 | purchase of 373 Taconic, and it's involved | 9 | City pursuant to that subpoena; is that | | 10 | in a bankruptcy proceeding. No details | 10 | correct? | | 11 | there, but -- | 11 | A<br>Yes. Because I think I was -- if | | 12 | And, as I said, he said, we may | 12 | I recall, I was served, somebody came to my | | 13 | have to subpoena you or you may have to | 13 | house with a subpoena, I was served. The | | 14 | testify or something like that. I don't | 14 | date was whatever. I decided head into the | | 15 | recall what he said exactly, but something | 15 | city. And then I called the firm to confirm | | 16 | along those lines. And I said, well, I hope | 16 | the details of timing and where to go and so | | 17 | not. But other than that, you know. | 17 | forth and so on. And they said no, no, no, | | 18 | Q<br>You mentioned that you were once | 18 | there's no deposition today, and there's | | 19 | subpoenaed to show up in Stamford, | 19 | no -- so, apologies, but, no, it's not | | 20 | Connecticut, I believe, right? | 20 | happening today. | | 21 | A<br>Well, I would have to look at the | 21 | Q<br>Do you recall when that was? | | 22 | details. But, as I said, there were several | 22 | A<br>When that was? | | 23 | locations. The first one I believe was | 23 | Q<br>Yes. | | 24 | Bridgeport. And the second one was a | 24 | A<br>My best recollection, somewhere in | | 25 | location I thought in Stamford, but I would | 25 | May or June. | | | | | | | | | | | | | Page 76 | | Page 77 | | | | | | | 1 | Q<br>Of 2023? | 1 | around and went home. | | 2 | A<br>Yes. This year. Yeah. That was | 2 | Q<br>Did you turn around after you got | | 3 | the last one that was canceled, I believe. | 3 | to Grand Central? | | 4 | Q<br>Do you have a copy of that | 4 | A<br>Right. I took the next train back | | 5 | subpoena? | 5 | to Stamford. | | 6 | A<br>I must have somewhere, but I don't | 6 | Q<br>Do you recall who at Paul Hastings | | 7 | know. Here it is. Yes. I'll show you the | 7 | you spoke with? | | 8 | document right here. It says 10:00 a.m. on | 8 | A<br>No. I don't remember who I spoke | | 9 | May 12, and the location is Paul Hastings. | 9 | with. It could have been Avi or -- I don't | | 10 | Q<br>Can you determine from looking at | 10 | remember. Or it could have been Luc Lapin | | 11 | it who signed that subpoena on behalf of | 11 | (sic). But I don't remember the specific | | 12 | Paul Hastings? | 12 | conversation, other than, sorry, it's a | | 13 | MR. BASSETT: Objection. | 13 | mistake and we're not having it. | | 14 | A<br>No. It has a scratch. I mean, | 14 | Q<br>Before you traveled to New York | | 15 | you can tell for yourself. | 15 | City that day, you had spoken with | | 16 | Q<br>Could I ask you to hold that up | 16 | Mr. Despins, right? | | 17 | again, sir, please. | 17 | A<br>Yes. But that was a long time | | 18 | A<br>(Witness complies.) | 18 | before that. | | 19 | Q<br>Did you contact anyone at Paul | 19 | Q<br>Had you spoken with Mr. Luft | | 20 | Hastings after receiving that subpoena? | 20 | before traveling to New York City that day? | | 21 | A<br>Yeah. As I said, I contacted | 21 | A<br>I don't think so. | | 22 | somebody to find out where to go and which | 22 | Q<br>And you can't determine from | | 23 | room and so forth and so on. And they said, | 23 | looking at the subpoena that's in front of | | 24<br>25 | we're so sorry, but this was a mistake and<br>there is no deposition today. So I turned | 24<br>25 | you, who signed it on behalf of Paul<br>Hastings, right? |

| | of 46 | | | |----|----------------------------------------------|----|----------------------------------------------| | | Page 78 | | Page 79 | | 1 | MR. BASSETT: Objection. | 1 | A<br>That was it. That was all. | | 2 | A<br>Well, I mean, there's no names | 2 | Q<br>Well, didn't they ask you to send | | 3 | printed. There's just a signature on it. | 3 | documents to them? | | 4 | And, as I said, I believe I got this served | 4 | MR. BASSETT: Object to form. | | 5 | by someone who came from New York City to | 5 | A<br>Yeah. Those documents were part | | 6 | serve me with this. And it was like on a -- | 6 | of a document request, right? | | 7 | it was maybe a week or two before the date | 7 | Q<br>I don't know. That's why I'm | | 8 | by memory. | 8 | asking. | | 9 | Q<br>Have you spoken with anyone other | 9 | A<br>Yeah. They were part of a | | 10 | than Mr. Despins before traveling to New | 10 | document request that I got where they said | | 11 | York City that day? | 11 | we need all communication, this, that and | | 12 | A<br>No. I don't recall. | 12 | the other. And at some point I told them | | 13 | Q<br>Is it therefore likely that the | 13 | that I had, you know, no emails because my | | 14 | person you called at Paul Hastings while | 14 | email account had been deleted according to | | 15 | traveling to New York City was Mr. Despins? | 15 | Coldwell Banker. And that I had supplied | | 16 | MR. BASSETT: Object to form. | 16 | everything that I had. | | 17 | A<br>Yes. It's possible. But I also | 17 | And at some point in time they | | 18 | had communication from Avi and this other | 18 | said, well, don't you have anything like | | 19 | person you referred to, Laff, Raft, or | 19 | texts, and I said, yes, but I don't know how | | 20 | something like that. But, no, I was not -- | 20 | you can copy texts. And at some point I | | 21 | I don't remember speaking to anyone. | 21 | figured out how to do that. And I believe | | 22 | Q<br>What else did the person from Paul | 22 | it was on a computer, that you can copy and | | 23 | Hastings tell you in addition to the fact | 23 | print texts. And I scanned those and sent | | 24 | that you did not need to come to their | 24 | them as part of the documents that I had. | | 25 | office that day? | 25 | Q<br>Do you recall when you provided | | | Page 80 | | Page 81 | | 1 | documents to Paul Hastings? | 1 | noticed there were a lot of other people | | 2 | A<br>I believe it was after the first | 2 | mentioned, and I was mentioned on one of | | 3 | subpoena. I don't even know -- there is | 3 | them, and that's all. | | 4 | one -- so this is the -- you can see the | 4 | Q<br>Is there a date next to | | 5 | size of this. This is the first thing that | 5 | Mr. Lindsay's signature? | | 6 | I got in via FedEx. And it doesn't have a | 6 | A<br>I don't actually -- on that first | | 7 | date on it. | 7 | document that you mentioned, there -- yeah. | | 8 | Q<br>Can you -- I think if you flip | 8 | Dated March 24, 2023, Newhaven, Connecticut. | | 9 | through, and the first time you get to a | 9 | Q<br>How soon after that, did you send | | 10 | signature, whether that signature be an ink | 10 | documents to Paul Hastings? | | 11 | signature or an electronic signature, | 11 | A<br>Honestly, it -- I don't remember | | 12 | there's probably a date near it. | 12 | the exact dates, but I do remember first | | 13 | A<br>I mean, I got this, my firm got | 13 | checking with my previous coworkers and | | 14 | this, and we all responded. I spoke to the | 14 | bosses at Coldwell Banker, and, ultimately, | | 15 | lawyer at Coldwell Banker, and he said, yes, | 15 | with the chief legal counsel. Specifically | | 16 | we got the same and we supplied whatever | 16 | because a lot of the documents they | | 17 | information we had or they requested. | 17 | requested I didn't have access to. I didn't | | 18 | It's Luc Lapin, Chapter 11 | 18 | have emails. I just had a file. | | 19 | Trustee, by S Patrick R Lindsay, of Neuberg | 19 | So I don't have a lot of documents | | 20 | Pepe & Monteith, 196 Church Street, 13th | 20 | other than what you saw today, offer to | | 21 | Floor, Newhaven, Connecticut. Counsel for | 21 | purchase, representation agreement, | | 22 | the Chapter 11 Trustee. I mean, this is a | 22 | ultimately a contract. And that was it. So | | 23 | very big document with a lot of questions. | 23 | I didn't have much to offer. And I was told | | 24 | I did not read the whole thing. I did not | 24 | that Coldwell Banker would -- 'cause they | | 25 | read -- I read a couple of pages where I | 25 | would have the exact same documents, had |

| | of 46 | | | |--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------|----------------------------------------------------| | | Page 82 | | Page 83 | | 1 | already submitted those documents. | 1 | have also been subpoenaed. But I don't even | | 2 | Q<br>When you -- on the day you | 2 | remember the name of that broker. It was | | 3 | traveled to New York City, by that date had | 3 | someone I didn't really know, but I didn't | | 4 | you previously provided documents to Paul | 4 | discuss it. | | 5 | Hastings? | 5 | Q<br>Was it Martha Jeffrey? | | 6 | A<br>Yes. | 6 | A<br>Sounds familiar, but I can't | | 7 | Q<br>How did you send the documents to | 7 | confirm, but sounds familiar. | | 8 | Paul Hastings? | 8 | Q<br>And how did you come in contact | | 9 | A<br>Electronically, via email, as | 9 | with the broker who asked you whether you | | 10 | attachments, I believe. | 10 | had been subpoenaed? | | 11 | Q<br>So you could determine the date on | 11 | A<br>I just went to an open house. She | | 12 | which you sent those documents by looking at | 12 | had a listing and I was looking at the | | 13 | your email, correct? | 13 | house. And she knew that -- what I found | | 14 | A<br>Probably. | 14 | out after Miles had purchased the house, | | 15 | Q<br>And I may ask you to do that | 15 | that even though I had an exclusive right to | | 16 | during a break, just to check your sent | 16 | be his broker, he worked with many other | | 17 | items to see when you sent those documents | 17 | brokers in Greenwich. And that's all I | | 18 | to Paul Hastings. | 18 | knew. | | 19 | Did you -- other than speaking | 19 | And I know of one other or two | | 20 | with former colleagues at Coldwell Banker | 20 | other names that I heard, but I never | | 21 | and with Paul Hastings, have you discussed | 21 | checked into it because I didn't care. I | | 22 | the subpoenas you received with anyone else? | 22 | mean, it was not -- I never thought that I | | 23 | A<br>No. There was some broker at one | 23 | would be the only person he would ever talk | | 24 | point who said, have you been subpoenaed, | 24 | to. So it was irrelevant to me. | | 25 | and I said, yes, because of -- she said, I | 25 | Q<br>You testified just now that you | | | | | | | | | | | | | Page 84 | | Page 85 | | | | | | | 1 | had an exclusive with Miles. Do you have | 1 | Q<br>It's not anyone named Miles, | | 2 | any document signed by this person named | 2 | right? | | 3 | Miles where he agreed that you would be his | 3 | MR. BASSETT: Objection to | | 4 | exclusive broker? | 4 | form. | | 5 | A<br>No. In fact, they crossed that | 5 | A<br>Correct. | | 6 | out. Even though it was not Miles who | 6 | Q<br>And did you participate as a | | 7 | obviously signed this, it was Max Krasner | 7<br>8 | broker in any transaction that Hudson | | 8<br>9 | who did. And it said Hudson Diamond.
