| acknowledged high value this year. gift tax audit etc.,. April, Oct.. returns. manage joslin, who is |
| still running your tax dept. |

| 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 direction by eileen and ada, and then brad. His breakdown was |
| not a surprise after months and moths of warnings. Though disabled, he ran your office this year. with |
| john and joe. He ran amok, and as i told you he rarely failed to remind me in our conversations that you |
| told him that he works for you and not for me and that brad needs to pays him . |
| . Asking me who to hire, estate attny tax people etc. : |
| I have taken heat for years over the fact that i gave you no more than carlyns name, . no follow up |
| questions no interactions, not even one single question asked of me re her work. ( that was Eileen _ |
| but somehow carlyns fuck up was my doing. |
| when i told you that i thought Eileen wasn't up to the |
| task, you bellowed that i was talking out of both sides of my mouth.. You told me this year, that by |
| trying to protect you from crazy joslin, I had in essence fired him and it was my responsibility to do his |
| work. it then turns out that he didn't consider himself fired at all he just received less money. |
| and |
| continued to make a really dangerous mess.. Joshn castrucci, in your eyes, was also my doing, though |
| email after email said, I take no responsibility for him,and YOU SHOULD NOT HIRE HIM.!!!, , your |
| response was that was my opinion was only because i didn't trust him. then to add insult to injury last jan |
| you told me he was gone. however he too is still there, and a waste of money and space. |
| My time is complicated by Donald's potentially eviscerating any reason for anyone to use the |
