I ve have always given you my best advice, If you reflect on your financial life , you have been kept safe , had remarkable results and no disasters. I have repeatedly urged you to get rid of the people in your office. , you have repeatedly chosen to ignore my advice , you told me last week that the emotional reason was in order to be weaned off my group and not have to pay my high fees. ( though ignoring the benefit of between 1.5 and 2b to the better. ). and no explosions. | You have email after email ,where i remind you that I am not your bookkeeper or accountant (in brads corporate speak his" finance dept ??!!) that it should be redone .I have reviewed a multitude of the silly reports given to you and have pointed out the continued numerous inaccuracies. your question " so what if the numbers are off , so what if the categories are off. whats the big deal??. I suggest you de risk you finances and make the tough decisions necessary - pay the right amounts ( high) to get the work done properly or , you are , Im afraid, certain to get an unhappy answer.. tom will be back from vacation. this week.

Leon,
Yesterday , I again spent hours upon hours of my time with your office. ,( speak to brad to get flavor) and you and 1 will discuss the results in gory gruesome detail on Friday. it mirrored many other weeks spent doing the things that I don;t have the time to do.
In order to keep things in perspective, maybe reviewing an analogy I have used before with you,
might be helpful. You and your family are a 6 billion dollar corp. with an income between 250 -500 million dollars per year. It contains a few operating biz's , a large wide array of existing investments, in various categories ,a desire to enter into others. A panoply of loans, notes. purchases, wide range of all types of taxes. , planes. boats homes. . trusts ,grats. a crazy number of bank accts. ( with no oversight ) . law firms, acct firms, 800 page tax returns, foreign firms. art consultants. construction consultants bill payers, home mgmt.,vast multitude of Ilc's , including foreign, and with all that you only have a combined overhead of less that 3 million dollars.
I have previously sent you the very same note that i have enclosed again below ,this time with highlights . I wrote it to you over a year ago. As my acute disability ( selective memory) seems to have been raised as one of your concerns , as aruleI try to memorialize things in writing in an attempt to lay out issues that I fear may later turn out to be a problem. ie what 1 would and wouldn't do , - my responsibilities. ete and those things that are not. below you will find details of things that I thought needed to be done, so that you wouldn't find yourself in the very place where you currently find yourself. however ,you chose to defer many of my suggestions- see below -,until only weeks ago. ! you chose to defer the jpm acct. the art partnership on and on - into this year. and though the 60- 50
