From: ' To: jeevacation@gmail.com (Jeffrey Epstein) Subject: FW: RE: Mike Hardman Date: Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:16:57 +0000 Inline-Images: mime_part_1.png; mime_part_2.png Let me bend your ear a minute/ This worries me, because I no longer trust Mike Hardman. I an concerned that he is talking with the bank and their lawyer without Trent there. I fear Mike will agree to some solution that is a joint obligation, then file bankruptcy or use some other scam gto stick me with the settlement. On the other hand, he could "agree" to something unfavorable to me and if I reject it, blme me with the bank. Given everything that has happened, I think the chance he is going to push this off on me is better than 50-50. Plus, he owes me the $550,000.00+ for the money he already took me for, so I do not wnat to be on the hook for more. Should you talk to Trent? Should I consider demanding he repay me and file when he refuses so that I create a record of me being a victim? Trent said in the past he does not want to give the bank info that could worry them, but I am concerned Mike is setting the stage to screw me again. Should Trent call Mike's lawyer and ask for the 4 of us to meet? I think Trent should tell Mike K. (the bank's lawyer) that he wants to be part of settlement talks and that Mike H. has no authority to speak for me. In short, I do not know how to proceed. If you have any advice, I would appreciate it. Steve Forwarded Message: From: "W. Trent Steele" •cl To: Subject: RE: Mike Hardman Date: Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:00:36 +0000 I could have sworn you sent me an email asking about the hearing but I can't find it anywhere. I wasn't surprised the judge denied the motion to dismiss this time around. My argument is better suited for a summary judgment motion at this point. Mike Kranz did tell me that the bank was discussing settlement w/ Hardman and had offered him a 35% reduction in payoff amount or short sale approval which he was considering. I asked him to please keep me in the loop. More later. Sorry for not letting you know about hearing sooner. Trent Law Offices of W. TRENT STEELE w 8902 SE Bridge Rd.

I wrote to remind you to file for all Hardman Development records, especially the bank statements and check register, from Mike. Follow up with a call to Mark. I am worried he may destroy the records and say he never saved them. I want to see where the $1.4 million went. I never signed any checks or saw any bank statements, bills from our contractor, etc. Steve Original message from "W. Trent Steele" . M>: Thanks, I got the notice of lis pendens.

From: [mallba: Sent: Thursday, October 08, 2009 9:54 AM To: Trent Steele Subject: Mike Hardman Dear Trent, I think I know why Mike called me. I just looked him up on Palm Beach & Citrus Co. Clerk's websites. Stonegate Bank filed a Lis Pendens on the Citrus Springs property he took a mortgage on with Roland because they are seeking to foreclose. The Lis Pendens is filed in both counties. My guess is the old Choice property is worth less than he owes on it and he is not paying any of the mortgages, so the whole ball is unraveling. I am faxing them to so they are avialbale in your computer. Steve Law Offices of W. TRENT STEELE en EFTA00768961
