Awww, take it easy, zonkie. Next thing you know she'll be accusing you of Smiting. Anyway, I think she just wants that washer/dryer. And she's very definitely pulled ahead of yEllen. Now. Just for the hell of it, let's return to those transcripts. Here's an amusing exchange between Bruce Judd and Gary Sylver: 14 THE COURT: Well, you're a plaintiff in this case. 15 THE WITNESS: I'm a plaintiff. Whatever the 16 attorney's suggest, I go along with. 17 BY MR. COOPER: 18 Q. And is there a reason that as a plaintiff in this 19 litigation, you have not brought an action against Creative 20 Capital? 21 A. Is there a reason? No, there's no reason. Once again I'm reminded of the SNL skit: "I'd really like to sue someone, but don't I have to have a reason?". The Sylvers, it would seem, have to have a reason NOT to sue people. Cooper continues: 22 Q. Okay. Now, with respect to this loan as you call it -- 23 A. Yes. 24 Q. -- loan of your shares to Andy Mann -- 25 A. Right. ASSOCIATED REPORTERS OF NEVADA (702) 382-8778 88 1 Q. -- you testified this was to give Mr. Mann credibility, 2 correct? 3 A. That'S what I said, yes. 4 Q. Okay. What do you mean by give Mr. Mann credibility? 5 A. Well, as he -- he explained it to me on the phone, that 6 if he could show his clients that he already owned Amazon 7 stock, they would be more willing to deal with him in this 8 project. 9 Q. And the project was that he would attempt to place some 10 of your stock with his clients? Is that (indiscernible) -- 11 A. No. My stock was (indiscernible), no. 12 Q. Not your stock, not the 300,000 shares -- 13 A. 0h. 14 Q. -- but the Amazon. 15 A. Amazon stock he would buy and resale at a profit. 16 Q. Ail right. So you knew, however, that Mr. Mann was not 17 purchasing your 300,000 shares, right? 18 A. Correct. 19 Q. And you knew that Mr. Mann would not be the owner of 20 your 300,000 shares, correct? 21 A. Correct. 22 Q. All right. But nevertheless, you entered into this 23 arrangement, so that Mr. Mann could give the impression -- 24 A. Correct. 25 Q. -- to his clients that he was the owner, correct? ASSOCIATED REPORTERS OF NEVADA (702) 382-8778 89 1 A. Correct. If you -- yes. 2 Q. And you did this willingly. 3 A. Yes. 4 Q. And intentionally. 5 A. Right. I did it in good faith. 6 Q. Now, as a federal investigative officer -- 7 A. Right. 8 Q. -- didn't you have some concerns that this may be 9 involving you in a conspiracy to defraud other third persons 10 by giving them a false impression? 11 A. No. Only because the reason that I was told that this 12 is done every day. 13 Q. Uh-huh. And if someone told you -- 14 A. No. All right. Somebody with credibility. 15 Q. -- that selling drugs on the street is done every day, 16 would you go out and sell drugs? 17 A. No. 18 THE COURT: He said somebody with credibility. lololol. But this really IS an important point. All Gary actually says is that he was assured that people lend stock all the time. Which indeed they do. Why? Well, so the borrower can short it, of course. What did Andy Mann do with the shares he borrowed? He shorted 'em. Once again, just my opinion: Q.E.D. Very often the correct answer to what appears to be a complex question is the simplest and most obvious one. Occam's razor and everything, wink.
