anything else by far in your collection at a cost less than agreed upon. . please also remember that you and i agreed no more demands on my time after the last payment for the big transaction.
OR, you can decide that brad , tom , and whomever else you choose can screw with my work and they can oversee your audits . they are both aware and sensitive to the issue at hand. alan could be brought in but i would be extra careful having paul weiss given access to entire story.
_-On an unrelated note- you recently seemed shy to discuss certain things. , please be assured I make no judgement on any of your activities , whether or not i agree with them . not my role I am always on your side on the table. I hope your personal life quiets. you 've had a rough 15 months.

As i said yesterday, pointing out places where i think my friend might be taking unnecesarry risks has become tedious and trying. Structures that have been set up 2 years ago. were done so to give you protection and flexibility, NOT FOR ME< for YOU they required hiring stafff that could manage these complex entities. you told me over the past two years that as i set them up i should be responsible for their operation. That was never the deal , never. I have heard after -care etc for quite a while. in dec when you unilatierally decided to pay me much less than our agreed amount , we agreed NO MORE money discussions NO MORE after care. The silliness has reached its pinnacle when you suggest i am responsible for the lack of sophisticaiton and thoughtfulness of the 1031 transactions that NO one even told me about. asked my advice or gave me any notice at all before the fact. same as the structure for the CAlif house. I would remind you , though Heather is great, it was not she that modified the gagosian contract to give you the protection that resulted in your having no liablity, though you tell me she has done these things many times.
3. Remind me to talk to you about MR

Leon, Congragulations on biting the bullet. at least 18 months late , but I m encouraged and glad for you. When you interviewed Brad two years ago you asked that i not tell him what a disaster lay before him. what would you like me to tell Barry?
There is a HUGE amount of work to be done in the next 9 -12 months. mostly the exact same work that i outlined in my email of 2 years ago. now complicated by years of mess on top. ( you can send it again if you like ) . Brad wechsler was never up to the task . sorry, I realize I have been saying the very same thing for a long time. he was a not a step up from Eileen but a step sideways. in the beginning there was Eileen and Tom and Ralph Lerner. all your hand picks. then brad. john, Joe. . joslin was chosen from a pool of 2 people. each that would be limited by a salary of 250k. ( yes i personally augmented his comp in order to get him ) I did say hire both Lisa to do the bookkeeping and joslin tax, He complained for over a year , re his
