I had to read through this thread a couple of times after reading how some of the more serious claims about this taped conversation had not been established/corroborated.

First of all, the transcript and the diagram were both done by me.

The diagram was generated solely based on the content of the taped conversation. I listened to the conversation closely, transcribed it and analyzed it using my understanding of corporate law and fraud under US law. My knowledge on these topics is not advanced, but I know the essentials.

Based on my analysis, I put together the diagram so that those listening to (or reading) the conversation could map the impact of what was being said.

As for corroboration, I have personally met with two brothers who were present at the time of this call. One of them was in the room with Sal when the call to Lee happened. The other was in the next room and participated in some discussion after the call.

So, I know by the mouth of two witnesses that the call happened and that the substance of the call matches the recording.

So, my question is this to "whom it may concern". What serious claim has been made that has not been established?

Thanks,
Matt
