11/23/09 From Banyon Joe DeSilva Joe DeSilva PRODG 000181 Banyon ltr 11/23 - By dragging Mr. Preve into his

investigate his case - as this release explains, Scherer

he is about understanding the basic facts.

11/12/09 Joe DeSilva Joe DeSilva Joe DeSilva PRODG 000193 I say that predicated on the fact that all of our
outstanding notes should be more than covered by a
$70M insurance policy against the law firm - I believe
we are in a good position - George is pushing for that
policy to be paid asap - everyone awaits TD Bank's
position which would appear by all accounts to be an
accessory at least for unauthorized release of trust
funds.
