Dear Harry Beller,
Here Is an accounting of my hours. They fall into several categories
The original rotainor was $1,050,000 paid in 2005, In addition, Jcffrcy sent me $350,000 in 2006 —which
I did not request or bill him for — as "a war chest". (He told me to "use $100,000 of that to get
Finkelstein", which I did not do.)
Between Oct. 4, 2005 and July 31, 2006 I devoted approximately 930 hours to the case (this averages
about 93 hours a month, or 3 hours a day.) IN sure I actually spent considerably more time during this
intensive period in which we talked and worked virtually every single day, and all hours of the day.
These hours fell into three categories.
1. Between Oct. 4 and Dec. 31, 2005 I billed at S850 per hour. During that time I spent 175.25 hours,
which comes to $155,096.25.
2. Between Jan. 1, 2006 and July 31, 2006 I billed at the rate of $1,150 dollars for hours spent in
Cambridge, and $1,500 for hours spent out of Cambridge. The total number of hours were 754.75, of
which approximately 100 were out of Cambridge. (This is an approximation; I can probably get a more
precise breakdown if I check my travel records.) The 654.75 hours billed at $1150 come to $742,612.50.
3 . The approximately 100 hours out of Cambridge come to 5150,000 dollars. The total amount due
from these three categories is $1,047,709.50, without expenses • - or approximately $1,050,000 with
expenses, which was covered by the initial retainer.
If you would like a further breakdown of these hours they are as follows:
Jan. 3, 2006 — Feb. 20, 2006: 160.75 hours
Feb. 21— March 2, 2006: 40 hours
March 3 — March 12: 26.5 hours
March 13 — March 30: 78.5 hours
March 31—April 30: 117 hours
May 1— May 31: 98.75 hours
June 1 —June 30: 115.5 hours
July 1 —July 31: 117.5 hours
On Oct. 27, 2006, I submitted my first bill for 225 hours, for work between Aug. 1 and Oct. 27, 2006 (3
months). The bill for $258,750 was paid.

On Oct. 27, 2006, Jeffrey agreed to guarantee me a minimum of $100,000 per month until the end of
the case. This guarantee lasted for 21 months. During the period of the guarantee I billed as follows:
Oct. 28, 2006 —Jan.2, 2007 (2 months): $178,000 paid. Additional amount owed on guarantee is
$22,000.
Sanitary 2. 711t17 - Fah A, 70117• S77,9:1.2.50 paid. Additional amount owcd on guorontcc b I:922,007.50.
February 8, 2007 — April 2, 2007 (approximately 2 months): $136,850 paid. Additional amount owed on
guarantee Is $63,150.
April 3, 2007 — June 1, 2007 (2 months): $174,512.50 paid. Additional amount owed is $25,487.50.
June 2, 2007 - July 2, 2007: $169,337.50 paid. No money is owed on the guarantee.
July 3 — Sept. 4, 2007: (We cannot locate this bill, but the amount paid on Sept. 4 was $139,720,
representing 2 months of work.): The additional amount due on the guarantee for these two months
was 360,280.
in sept. 5 — Oct. 10: $125,938 paid. No money is owed on the guarantee.
Oct. 11, 2007 — Nov. 10, 2007: $89,125 paid. Amount due on guarantee $10,875.
Nov. 11— Dec. 10, 2007: $138,825 paid. Nothing due on guarantee.
Dec. 10—Jan. 6, 2008: 115,449.90 paid. Nothing due on guarantee.
Jan. 7, 2008 —Feb. 13, 2008: $34,212.50 paid. Amount due on guarantee is $65,787.50.
Feb. 13 — March 8, 2008: $59,512.50 paid. Amount due on guarantee Is $40,487.50.
March 9 —April 18, 2008: $48,587.50 paid. Amount due on guarantee $51,412.50.
April 19 —June 16, 2008 (two months): $135,412.50 — only $50,000 paid. Amount due on guarantee is
$64,578.50.
July 17 —Aug. 4 (1 > months) $69,287.50 - unpaid. Amount due on guarantee is $80,712.50.
Persuant to the minimum monthly guarantee I am owed: $506,858.50 above the amounts billed for.
Moreover the bill for June 16, 2008 was paid only in part (550,000) leaving a balance due of $85,412.50
and the bill of Aug. 4 for $69,28750 was unpaid. Since Dec. 11, 2008, I have devoted a total of 23 hours,
which comes to $26, 450 dollars, which has also not been paid. As of Dec. 11, 2008 I was owed $181,150
for unpaid billed hours and $506,858.50 owed me on the guarantee for a total of $688,008.50.
As a credit against the amount I am now owed is $285,965 consisting of the $35,965 dollars that Jeffrey
authorized me to take from the lolta account plus the $250,000 ($150,000 in June and $200,000 in July)
that remained in the war chest Jeffrey sent me in June and Aug. of 2006. 5100,000 of that was

critnerpiently sent to Dershowit2 and Eiger. I am checking os to whether any other payments were made
from this amount. I am also checking expenses I did not charge.
Thus the amount I am currently owed comes to: $402,043.50.
As I explained to Jeffrey, I keep my hours in a little pocket calendar that I carry with me and change
every few months. I am enclosing pages from several of those notebooks.
