Lawsuit against what? A dead company? He already has grounds to file on the
delinquent note and he hasn't.

On the equity what would he file? That a financial services company went
under in the wake of the sep08 disaster?

If we don't give him anything his tax people might tell him he must hire a
collection agent and/or file demand with the courts so he can show to the
IRS he made real effort to recover the debt.

Kind of inviting a lawsuit, don't you think?  I am not comfortable issuing a
statement like that.

Markus I have concluded that I am not going to see any payments on the Note
from Paradigm to me, nor any value in the equity in Paradigm Companies that
I purchased for $1MM.  Please correct me if I am mistaken. 

If I am  unfortunately correct, then would you send me an email stating that
Paradigm is winding down and will not be able to repay the Note and will not
return any value for the equity I own, so that I can write these amounts off
on my 2009 taxes please.

This does not need to be a long treatise, just a clear statement of the
reality.

Thanks   Tom
