| 1 | THE COURT: How is that relevant to your stay |
| 2 | pending appeal? The questions were all about what's the |
| 3 | harm. He told you what his harm is. |
| 4 | You may disagree with his harm. But that -- how |
| 5 | is it relevant to your getting a stay pending appeal? |
| రు | MR. MORIARTY: If there's other assets that can be |
| 7 | used, Your Honor, then there's no harm. His harm is I don't |
| ರಿ | have the ability to pay -- |
| 9 | Well, you --
THE COURT: |
| 10 | MR. MORIARTY: -- which -- |
| 11 | THE COURT: The other assets that you're talking |
| 12 | about, including the Lady May, you've already -- that's on |
| 13 | appeal too, isn't it? |
| 1 4 | MR. MORIARTY: It is on appeal. |
| 15 | THE COURT: Yeah. So then your argument doesn't |
| 16 | really make sense, because then you're going to make the |
| 17 | same arqument when you come to the Lady May. |
| 18 | MR. MORIARTY: Well, Your Honor, I don't know that |
| 1 9 | I could make the same argument continuously, because at some |
| 20 | point in time it becomes self-defeating. But for now, it's |
| 21 | not. But I will move on. Okay. |
| 22 | BY MR. MORIARTY: |
| 23 | So, Attorney Despins, the professionals that you
റ്റു |
| 24 | haven't hired yet, those would be, for example, accountants, |
| 25 | right? |

| ದ | Yeah. AlixPartners is something like that. | | | | | |
| റ്റു | Okay. So has any professional that you have inquired | | | | | |
| about to engage for the estate refused an engagement because | | | | | | |
| there's no cash immediately available to pay them? | | | | | | |

Okay . | | | | | |
| A | AlixPartners. | | | | | |
| റ | Okay.
Anybody else? | | | | | |
| A | No. I have not had the discussion with anybody else. | | | | | |
| റ്റ | So was Alix -- what were you -- well, withdraw that. | | | | | |
| Is AlixPartners the only professional firm that you ve | | | | | | |
| spoken to about engagement for asset tracing? | | | | | | |
| A | To date, yes. | | | | | |
| இ | Okay. So no other firm has -- no other firm related to | | | | | |
| | asset tracing or accounting-type work has refused to perform | | | | | |
| services because there's no cash immediately available in | | | | | | |
| estate?
the | | | | | | |
| A | Well, I have not talked to any other firms, so -- | | | | | |
| Q | Okay. And you testified that information gets stale. | | | | | |
| | Do you recall that testimony? | | | | | |
| A | Correct. | | | | | |
| o | Okay. But you've only spoken to one firm about taking | | | | | |
| | on the type of engagement where they would be tracing funds. | | | | | |
| । | that correct? | | | | | |
| A | Yes . | | | | | |
