Can y...Looking forward to the conversation, Peter. Can you ask Kent on behalf of myself in Old Hampshire:<br /><br />(i) that if he really took a vow of poverty and passed control of the Trust over to Paul Hansen via Glen Stoll how it is he kept hold of the cheque book. A settlor keeping control of the financial assets of a trust is inconsistent with a claim that control had passed to an independent trustee (I bet his answer is that he doesn't understand the simple principles in the setting up of a Trust and that you will have to ask Glen Stoll).<br /><br />(ii) Kent and Jo deny that they knew of the bank reporting obligations. He admits that he was warned both by Richard Moonehan and Glen Stoll that it would cause trouble with the IRS if he withdrew more than $10,000 a day from the bank. Why did he not ask what sort of trouble that might be and why didn’t either of them tell Kent that taking out $10k+ would cause a report to be sent to the IRS?<br /><br />(iii) Kent has been complaining in the recent telephone conversations he has been having that he doesn’t understand the law. Rather than seek the advice of tax protesting Sovereigns Richard Mooneyhan, Glen Stoll, Paul Hansen and convicted felons Guy Curtis and Fred Ortiz why did he not seek conventional professional advice from local accountants and tax lawyers in Pensacola who would have put him on the right track in very short order? In the pre-sentencing prison tapes of 2006 Kent admitted spending a couple of hundred hours on the phone discussing tax issues with Glen Stoll. Had he sought proper advice from local professionals he could have saved himself 8 years and 198 hours of his time.<br /><br />(iv) Kent also said in a recent phone conversation that Jo took out of the bank $9,500 every 12 days. Why, when he paid his staff every fortnight, was money taken out every 12 days? Was it because $9,500 every 12 days = $10,500 every 14 days?<br /><br />(v) Is Jo still keeping the marital bed warm? Kent rarely mentions her and my guess is that Jo is sick to death of Kent’s ridiculous nonsense and the longer he remains inside the more peaceful is home life for her and her grandchildren. <br /><br />(vi) Kent is already making plans to go north on his release and, financed by the $25m he is currently suing your government for, intends to open a camp site. Does he expect Jo to go with him?Samphirenoreply@blogger.com
