Q. (By Mr. Rue) Mr. Rivera, let's go back to the document that I had marked as Plaintiff's Exhibit 66. Four or five pages down in there, there is a letter dated September 5th, 2008 from Mr. Cutler to transfer on-line where a stock certificate from Ms. Price, now Rivera, is transferred to a number of individuals. Do you see that? It's a transfer, Alice Price, Edmond Price -- Edwin Price, Berkshire Capital Management, Eat at Joe's, Diamond Jim -- Diamond Ranch Foods, et cetera.
A. How many pages?
Q. I don't know. Four. One, two, three, six.
A. Oh.
Q. Six.
A. Okay.
Q. Is that one of the transactions that you were talking about a moment ago in connection with the acquisition of Sustainable Power Corp. shares?
A. I'm sorry, what is the question, sir?
Q. Who is Edwin Price?
A. That's Alice's brother.
Q. How did he come to own 22 million shares of Sustainable Power Corporation?
A. For work that he's done throughout, GWE, the various companies for writing safety manuals, for a platitude of services which he provided.
Q. Okay. Two pages behind that or three, there is a letter dated September 16th, 2008 from Cutler to Transfer Online. And the RE on that is Rule 144(k), sale of up to 22 million shares of Sustainable Power Corp. common stock by Doroteo A. Rodriguez. Do you see that document?
A. Yes. I'd like to go back to the prior document and --
Q. Sure.
A. What is it that you're trying to signify with this document here?
Q. I wanted to know who Edwin Price was.
A. All right. Edwin Price is Alice's brother.
Q. All right. And I wanted to confirm that thisis another one of the transfers of shares from Ms. Price and her brother to Berkshire, Eat at Joe's, Diamond Ranch, Amanda Johnson and Mylock.
A. This was a transfer of shares belonging to Mrs. Price, Mrs. Rivera, okay, which she has supplied million shares and distributed as found here, okay, which she had the shares, the legend removed off the shares under a 144 rule. And then she supplied it to these people here for the company to raise money, okay? And the company has promised to issue her back restricted shares for this transaction.
Q. Okay. Now, how was this -- explain how this transaction was going to operate to finance the company.
A. The way I have it understood, the shares going to Berkshire Capital, Eat at Joe's, Diamond Food Ranch, Amanda Johnson, James Mylock, okay, were being purchased 22 by Berkshire Capital from SSTP where Alice Price, as a stockholder, facilitated her free-trading shares so that the company could sell these shares to Berkshire to continue its operation.
Q. And did they pay you -- did they pay Sustainable Power for these shares?
A. Mr. Rue, I can only believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that if this document was generated by Mr. Richard Cutler, that he received the funds and put it into the bank.
Q. All right. Then one, the second page, the -- oh, it's the third page. The second page after this is the September 16th, 2008 letter to Transfer Online regarding shares held by Doroteo Rodriguez. Who is Mr. Rodriguez?
A. Mr. Rodriguez is -- was with Endotek, which is -- I don't know if to say the Army Corps of Engineers or Oakridge National Laboratories or something of that nature. The equivalent in the Dominican Republic for alternate fuels, renewable fuels and general technology. And he's been in that or other like positions with the government for the last 20, 25 years.
Q. Did Admiral Lora introduce you to him?
A. He did.
Q. All right. How did Mr. Rodriguez come to acquire these shares?
A. Mr. Rodriguez, or Dr. Rodriguez, okay, acquired those shares. We owed Admiral Lora a bunch of shares for all the work that he's done and contracts and acquisitions that he was promised stock for. And when it came time to pay him, he said that his brother assisted him. And he wanted to split up whatever shares he got with his brother.
Q. And is Mr. Rodriguez his brother?
A. That's what I'm told.
Q. Rodriguez didn't perform any services that you're aware of for U.S. Sustainable Energy or Sustainable Power Corp.?
A. That is absolutely incorrect. Being with Endotek, and I'm sure you've seen the videos, all right, of the study done in the Dominican Republic where he's identified himself and how he's saying that U.S. Sustainable Energy was the only company who said they had a technology and actually brought the technology to the country so that their scientific community could either validate or disvalidate the technology. I'm sure that if you saw all the videos, I mean, you're on every website there is, you couldn't have missed that one. And if you have, I will be more than glad to facilitate. Okay. Not only did he assist, but he had the military there assisting us. He had all his scientists assisting us. And he was instrumental in bringing in scientists from Guatemala, Ecuador, Panama, Venezuela, Spain. So to say that he did not assist Sustainable Power Corporation or USSE in any way would be a total injustice and incorrect. Mr. Doroteo Rodriguez has, over the years, followed me and my technology. He's been to -- been to Tampa. He's been to Port Gibson. He's been to Natchez. He's been to Baytown. And they're just waiting for these SEC charges for us to win the case or whatever. And, you know, we're going to go full bore. The only reason I'm still here is to take care of my stockholders, because I can go overseas and start this up tomorrow. But I am loyal to my stockholders. I've done nothing wrong, and I intend to fully prove that.
Q. Did Mr. Rodriguez facilitate either of your companies obtaining contracts with anyone in the Dominican Republic?
A. Mr. Rue, I just said that he set up demonstrations with several different countries -- leaders from several different countries, directors of -- from Spain of the biofuel and alternate energy director. And he threw three press conferences, okay, delineating what a great job we are and how we got seven gallons of fuel out of (Spanish spoken). Please don't ask me to spell that one. English translation, castor oil beans. And as I said, I'd be more than glad to send you again the videos since you send copies of those videos to Tom Gorman. So I guess if you sent it to him, you must have seen them.
Q. Well, I'm sure we have copies of them.
A. I'm so sorry, sir. It could have been Westrick that sent it.
Q. No, I sent them to those guys.
A. Okay. Well, I was right the first time then.
