In this context, I found to strongly reject the argument of the Goren Hearing Attorney that some of the money paid by the plaintiffs was illegally taken by Mr. Dahari (Goren's Investigation at pp. 1442, paras. 9-13; ibid., at p. 1443, paras. 7-14). I am faithful to the plaintiffs' version, as well as the versions of Mr. Moshe Horowitz and Mr. Elia Shimoni, according to which all the funds that were placed in the envelope were transferred in full to the Goren Hearing Center (paragraph 54B of the appendix to the transcript quotations that the plaintiffs attached to the summaries). This testimony is consistent with Mr. Dahari's own version (p. 2698, paras. 1-4). Had Mr. Dahari taken for himself some of the funds that were put into the envelope, it is presumed that any of the plaintiffs would have seen this. In any event, Goren did not clarify how he claimed that Mr. Dahari was able to leave exactly the sums recorded in the contracts in an envelope and take the rest of the sums for himself, without anyone else paying attention to it.
Mr. Dahari was held, therefore, as an entity whose role is to recruit potential buyers, to reflect to them the seller's demands at a different time (he informed them in advance of their obligation to stock up on cash, and on the day of signing the contracts he informed them that they were required to record a lower amount in the contracts), and to prevent any contact between the purchasers and the Goren Hearing Venue in order to thwart a late claim regarding any representations on the part of the Goren Hearing Place. In his interrogation, Goren claimed that he had recruited Mr. Dahari as "an intermediate man to help me in terms of technical convenience" (p. 2114, paras. 4-5). I was under the impression that it was not only "technical convenience" that served as the basis for Mr. Dahari's enlistment, as stated, and that the relocation of the Goren hearing venue made cynical and calculated use of it as part of an attempt to distance him from later claims by buyers (see Mr. Dahari's testimony at p. 2698, paras. 20-24; Ibid., p. 2699, paras. 1-6; p. 2858, questions 16-25, and at p. 2859, questions 1-9). Goren himself said in another conversation he had with Mr. Attias that Mr. Dahari "has his own probleMs. He has his abilities. He did it in form, leave his gross mistakes, but in this part he did it exceptionally well" (Appendix N/18, p. 7, Q. 21 to P. 8, Q. 1). Goren knew very well that he had exploited Mr. Dahari's weaknesses to his advantage, as detailed.
