Tyson –

Attached are case notes we’ve completed for the 15 cases we got through
today.  No mentions of Chinese drywall yet, and most of the material we’ve
come across has been covered in previous news reports on the Fort
Lauderdale saga.  There are some interested tidbits in here that have not
been focused too much by media, including a last-ditch effort by SB Hotel
Assoc. to basically force purchasers into closing on the property when it
was clearly on the verge of going down the tubes and some additional detail
on the promotional materials used to advertise Trump’s role in the project.

We are still making our way through the major case (*Trilogy v. SB Hotel
Associates)*, which is the federal class action suit into which many of the
smaller state court cases were consolidated into.  That case has more than
550 docket entries and has a page count well into the 1000s, but we’re
making progress on it and we’ll have notes completed on that one tomorrow.
The *Trilogy *case should be a fruitful source of info, as the case file
includes several hundred pages of depositions and a ton of high-resolution
pictures of brochures, promotional materials and other documents entered
into the record as exhibits demonstrating the plaintiffs’ allegations about
deceptive marketing of Trump’s involvement in the case.  The *Trilogy *case
also includes documents pertinent to one of the major controversies in the
dispute, involving Trump’s attorney withholding information about an
insurance policy that could have been used to pay off claims to plaintiffs.

Per our discussion in Slack today, though it was not on our initial list,
we should probably also run this same process on Kriss v. Bayrock.

Let us know if you have any questions.  Thanks to Austin and Andy for all
their work on this!
