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

Yep.　14　A
Well, luxury is obvious. It's not

I'd ask the court reporter please　15　low priced homes. And water front is

Understood. And then below it
24　you?　24　says past sales and it lists a bunch of

It is a combination of both. Not　3

No. It did not.　12　professional relationship with Miles?

Yes. Mr. Major said objection to

23　person named Ho Won Kwok who is the debtor　23　more than once today. And as I said before,

25　in this Chapter 11 case who has otherwise
gone by Miles Kwok or Miles Guo?　24

2　A
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

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
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
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
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

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
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
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
Correct that's what he said, yes.
18　A
Okay.　18　Q
Okay. So you understood that
19　Q
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
Yes.　22　A
Correct.
23　Q
How did you first come in contact　23　Q
I'd like my colleague to show
24　with the Miles?　24　Tab 2, please?

Yes, that's what I was told at the
13　Q
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
Yeah.　16　You know, there was an addendum to this. I
17　Q
So this is the exclusive right to　17　don't know if you have that.
18　represent buyer agreement. Is this a　18　Q
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
Yeah.
22　A
Yes.　22　Q
We do not have that, to my
23　Q
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
Yeah.　25　A
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
Correct.
3　became rather narrow. And they said, we　3　Q
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
14　A
No. I had no assumption like that
14　Private island on Connecticut Gold Coast.　15　because I was under the impression that he

16　Wallacks Point was the actual address. And　16　owned many different companies, and I had no
17　any additional properties in Connecticut

the property at the time.

Understood.
19　So he added this for my　19　A
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
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
As a real estate salesperson, in

Page 22　Page 23
1　your experience, have you seen scenarios　1　Q
I was going to ask you if you had
2　where an individual will use a company or an　2　any understanding of what that signifies?
3　LLC to acquire a property?　3　MR. MAJOR: Objection to form.
4　A
Yes. Many times.　4　A
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
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
Yes. It happened here.　8　Q
Understood. Back to the
9　Q
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
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
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
The bottom right-hand corner of　20　Q
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
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
Correct.
24　original. Yes. It is on the original. I　24　Q

My question for you is: Did you
2　couple of questions about that.　2　ever receive, in connection with this
3　A
Yeah. Paragraph six you said?　3　engagement, any of the information
4　Q
That's correct. And I think,　4　referenced here concerning buyer's needs and

want there to be any ambiguity about whether　9　was -- very few details were given to me.

4　A
He came with the usual entourage;　4　A
No. Other than -- other than that

4　discussed, a -- as you described, a message　4　period. And it was out of the clear blue
5　from Mr. Krasner and it says:　5　sky that he -- or that Max approached me

No. It has a scratch. I mean,　14　Q

Could I ask you to hold that up　16　Mr. Despins, right?

19　Q
Did you contact anyone at Paul　19　Q
Had you spoken with Mr. Luft

What else did the person from Paul　22　it was on a computer, that you can copy and

13　A
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.

Was it Martha Jeffrey?
6　A
Yes.　6　A
Sounds familiar, but I can't
7　Q
How did you send the documents to　7　confirm, but sounds familiar.
8　Paul Hastings?　8　Q
And how did you come in contact
9　A
Electronically, via email, as　9　with the broker who asked you whether you
10　attachments, I believe.　10　had been subpoenaed?
11　Q
So you could determine the date on　11　A
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

14　A

23　A
No. There was some broker at one　23　would be the only person he would ever talk

25　and I said, yes, because of -- she said, I　25　Q
