Here's something else of interest. Montal's interpretation of what happened:
7 THE COURT: You're saying that this is just a money
8 question.
9 MR. MONTAL: A money case. And that's what every
10 single witness has testified to. Including Mr. Sylver. The
11 testimony is that if the $1 million had been paid at the time
12 that it was supposed to have been paid -- and, your Honor, all
13 we have right now is testimony from the plaintiffs that it
14 hasn't been paid. I don't represent Mr. Mann. I don't know
15 what happened. But the bottom line is it doesn't matter. If
16 the money had been paid these shares would be allowed to be
17 out in the market. There's no question about that. And so
18 what we're talking about is that the plaintiffs decided to
19 make a deal with what, from the testimony we've heard today,
20 has not been the best choice of people to deal with. They've
21 essentially made their own determination to get involved with
22 these people.
23 They knew from as early as February 1997 that
24 Mr. Kricfalusi and everybody that Mr. Kricfalusi has
25 introduced to Amazon based on their testimony has taken them

1 for a ride for lack of a better word. And then in March of
2 1998 as their expert witness just testified when they told him
3 that they were entering into a 144 transaction with Mr. Mann
4 he said what are you crazy?
5 And on that basis, your Honor, they have decided -- they
6 made the decision that they were going to enter into this
7 transaction. They had fair warning all along that something
8 like this was going to happen. Not just were they aware that
9 this was going to happen, in some regards they participated in
10 it.
11 They issued the letter of May 4, 1998, that your Honor that
12 has referred to. And this went out to the public and their
13 transfer agent which was as a matter of law and as plaintiff
14 has admitted on the stand had said that it is their agent,
15 their agent were the ones that took off the restriction and
16 they did that in reliance on opinion letters from counsel.
17 They didn't do that on their own. There was two separate
18 opinion letters, one from Bondy and Schloss, and one from the
19 firm in Utah. And based upon those letters the restrictions
20 are taken off. And now what we have --
I couldn't agree with him more. What this case SHOULD be about is whether or not Andy Mann paid AZNT one million dollars for four million shares of stock. And nothing else.
Not just were they aware that this was going to happen, in some regards they participated in it.
In, ah, just how many "regards", I wonder? What was the real plan, lololol? Montal's no dummy. If I were Mikey I'd be wondering just how much he knows that he's not telling. |
