1 CROSS-EXAMINATION (cont'd)
2 BY MR. TRABULUS:
3 Q Good morning, Mr. Skalka, I think when we left off.
4 JUROR NO. 6: There is a switch underneath.
5 Q Good morning, Mr. Skalka.
6 A Good morning.
7 Q I think when we left off I was talking to you about
8 Chapter 11 Trustees, and the fact that typically Chapter
9 11 debtors don't want to have them.
10 Now, is it true that a Chapter 11 Trustee
11 typically gets paid a fee?
12 A A Chapter 11 Trustee is entitled to, yes, subjects to
13 court approval.
14 Q And in most instances a Chapter 11 Trustee is an
15 attorney, in many instances?
16 A In many, and not all.
17 Q In this particular case, the case of Who's Who, a
18 Chapter 11 Trustee was eventually appointed, was he not?
19 A Yes.
20 Q His name was Mr. Mendelsohn?
21 A Yes.
22 Q And is it fair to say that the fee that a Chapter 11
23 Trustee receives comes out of the debtor's property?
24 A Yes. In a bankruptcy case it is called the debtor's
25 estate.

1 Q If you don't mind, I would like to use the word
2 "property."
3 So, if a debtor is trying to continue his
4 operations, the bankruptcy trustee would represent an
5 additional potential drain on his income; would that not
6 be correct?
7 A No. Because usually the trustee would replace
8 certain members of existing management, therefore the
9 savings by replacing management is offset by the trustee's
10 fee, usually it ends up in being a wash.
11 Q You are saying in most cases the trustee's fee would
12 equal that of existing management?
13 A In most cases, they don't want to increase the
14 administration cost of the estate and want to see it act
15 as a wash.
16 Q In this particular case do you know what fee has been
17 applied for by the trustee to date?
18 A I know what the trustee's counsel has sought as far
19 as fees. I do not believe the trustee has received any
20 fees.
21 Q So, the trustee not only asks for fees, but the
22 trustee hires an attorney in many instances?
23 A In many instances, yes.
24 Q In this particular case the trustee did hire an
25 attorney, correct, with court approval?

HARRY RAPAPORT, CSR, CP, CM OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER

Skalka-cross/Trabulus


1 A Yes.
2 Q And the attorney has put in a fee application at this
3 point; is that correct?
4 A That's correct.
5 Q And is that fee application in excess of $300,000?
6 A To the best of my knowledge, yes.

This site is concerned with the Who's Who Worldwide Registry tragedy, and the undeniable odor of corruption in high placesin one of the worst trials of the century and the concomitant news media blackout regarding this incredible story.

Sixteen weeks of oft-explosive testimony, yet not a word in any of 1200 news archives. This alone supports the claim that this was a shamefully corrupt federal trial; in fact, one of the worst trials of the century.

Show your support for justice, for exoneration of the innocent, and perhaps most importantly, government accountability, by urgently contacting your Senator, the White House, and the U.S. Department of Justice. Let YOU be the one to provide the straw

At the bottom of every page of there is love.
At core of all that is presented here, a wish and hope and set of expectations.
Expect more from yourself, just as the Path of Better Shortcuts expects more of you,
and you will find that many seemingly unrelated areas of your life get to enjoy the fruits.
Greater expectations inevitably leads to greater efforts, which always lead to greater yields.
If you have not gone to grants.gov or cfda.gov for your share of so much free money,
then perhaps you are financially secure already without anyone else's assistance.
If, however, you are not where you wish to be financially, pay visits to such sites.
Not only will the government give you free money, there are angels, too.
"Angels" are people with money who wish to invest in other humans.
Profit is appreciated by these people, who secondarize profit.
Whatever you most want, let's get busy working on it, now.
The Path of Better Shortcuts works 24 hours per day, hm?
In fact, the Path of Better Shortcuts works as you do.

Allow the next twenty-four hours to be full of minutes,
or make them be full of the Path of Better Shortcuts.
Allow those 1,440 minutes to be your opportunities.
