Why did he issue that letter and release the shares? (when as reported he was not paid?) In his testimony at the 2 October injunction hearing Sylver claimed he'd been assured by someone called Tree Story at US Bank that a wire transfer for $1 million was on its way. What I find odd is that as far as I know AZNT has not produced any documentation of this communication from Story, nor has Story so far been called as a witness. 10 Q. So you sent a letter on May 4th, 1998 to First Concorde, 11 no? 12 A. Okay. 13 Q. Look, this letter. This is attached to your -- 14 A. Okay. Right. 15 Q. -- complaint. 16 A. Right. 17 Q. That's your signature. 18 A. That's correct. 19 Q. And you wrote it to First Concorde. 20 A. No, I didn't. Andy Mann wrote it, sent it to us, and said 21 please transfer this on to this because your money's on the 22 way. 23 Then he called Tree Story (phonetic) at US Bank, send him 24 the wire, and Tree said the wire's on its way. The $1,000,000 25 is on its way. Okay. ASSOCIATED REPORTERS OF NEVADA (702) 382-8778 103 SYLVER - CROSS 1 So then the $1,000,000 didn't show up. Immediately, we 2 retracted this, sent him a letter that said that, no, that you 3 didn't get the money. The shares are not in good standing. 4 We sent a copy to J.B. Oxford, sent a copy to everybody 5 else immediately right after because the money didn't come. He 6 told Tree Story. He faxed Tree Story at the bank, a wire 7 thing. He's at US Bank. And we never got the money. He said 8 the money was on the way, and we didn't get it. 9 Q. What is the date of the letter? 10 A. May 4th. 11 Q. Who is it to? 12 A. First Concorde. 13 Q. And is it addressed to Mr. Mann? 14 A. Yes. 15 Q. Will you read it, please, for the Court. 16 A. At your request, this is to inform you that Amazon Natural 17 Treasures' Certificate No. 112119 -- 18 THE COURT: Is this an exhibit that you've -- 19 MR. JI3DD: It's to their complaint.
