III. Witness Perspectives
•
Law:
•
Because she primarily dealt with transfers from
funds and HCM/Z, she believed Kahn was
directly asking for payment from those sources
•
No recollection of any discussions about the
transfers from LP or HCM/Z for plane-related
expenses
•
But any transfer of fund and managed account
money required Gruss' approval, which she
received

Postscript on Kahn
■ That He Knew
•
Knew management company liquidity was low
and borrowing maybe required to complete
purchase
•
First documented contact with Law was just prior
to closing when $$ wired from HCM/Z and LP --
all other dealings with O'Hara
•
On 10/25/05, he reviewed O'Hara's spreadsheet,
including references to "FUND" as a source for
payments
