• 9:44
  Speaker 1: to sign the papers, but Melon Bank didn't want to
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: accept the line of credit if he didn't sign, so

  Speaker 1: actual signing do you remember signing over as a line
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: of credit or answer by Vasquez as a line as

  Speaker 1: the grand tour, he was the one who was actually responsible.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Question and how much was the line of credit? Answer?

• 10:22
  Speaker 1: line was extended or any additional monies were given to
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: mc squared? Vasquez Answer no, I don't know. Question So,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: in addition to his financial guaranteur on the line of
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: credit of a million dollars, what other involvement are you
• 10:36

  Speaker 1: a company. They were planning to do a company. And
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: actually I gave the paper to mister Sean Connolly, which

  Speaker 1: were living. Vasquez. Yes. Question did you have something to
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: do with the visas that were prepared for the girls
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: that were working? Answer yes, I was providing the names
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: to the attorney. His name is Lewis Font. He was
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: doing the visas here in Miami. There was another Vealenzuela
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: was handling directly the visas in New York and only
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: when she had problems she hired another attorney. I don't
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: know the name of the attorney in New York, but
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Lewis Font is the one that was at the time
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the attorney handling the visas in Miami. Question do you
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: remember doing the visa for Nadia Marsenkova Answer no, that
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: was done in New York by Eve Valezuela. Question and
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Nadia's visa that you specifically remember being done right? Answer yeah,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I remember that because at one point, I believe one
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: of the renovations of her visa, something happened and mister
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Epstein called the office while I was there, and he
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: was really upset and he spoke with Jean Luke and
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: they were really nasty with Eve, and you know, it
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: wasn't if like it was Eve's fault. It was their
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: fault because they gave the wrong information. But you know
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: she was only an employee, and that's it. Question Ha,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: did Nadia Marsenkova come into the country? Answer by a
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: model's visa? I believe she was fourteen, by the way.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Question and she was brought in specifically by Jeffrey Epstein.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Jean lu Brunel, do you remember? Answer by Basquez. Mister
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Epstein was paying for the visas, but you know all
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: the visas were done through Karen's or MC squared. I
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: believe she came with Karen's visa first, then everything transferred
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: to MC square, and I believe those visas were paid
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: directly by mister Epstein. Question how well was Nadia Marsenkovo
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: when she first came? Answer? I don't know. I wasn't
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: in New York at that time, because I know she
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: came prior to me getting involved in New York. Question
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: and you were involved in New York in two thousand
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: and three. Answer yes, question so she came in some
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: time before that? Answer by Vasquez. I believe so. Question,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: but even back in two thousand and three, she's still
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know how old she is now, she's probably
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: twenty four or twenty five. Do you know Vasquez? Answer
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: no question. Have you ever met her? Answer no? All right, folks,
