An example of this can be seen in the testimony of Aviad Shaywitz, who contacted the defense team, after reading an article that covered the defendant's testimony in court. The witness, who left a reliable impression, described his father's fall from a mine in Sinai in 1996, and his mother's illness a few years later. At that time, the witness received a phone call from the defendant who knew his father, in which the defendant offered him assistance.
The witness described what happened as follows:
"My father was killed in 1996 by a mine in Sinai, he probably knew Avraham many years ago and in fact it's a very personal story because my mother got a stroke after 5 years. And we weren't in touch at all and he heard about the incident and he called me and he said to me, listen, I'm with you, whatever you need, I'm with you and I didn't pay attention to it, I didn't even know who he was, no, I didn't connect, there was nothing between us. After a certain period of time I had a certain dream to write some book, I called him, I talked to him and after two hours of conversation he told you to listen to you write your book, and he knew me for two hours, we met and he said I will fund you to write quietly and so it was, I mean there is the book here, you can see it... I went to Ashdod and every month he gave me a check for 4500 shekels, from time to time he would call, ask how the progress was going, what was happening, how was it going, were you really in peace of mind and could really write..." (Prov. p. 1665, s. 17).
According to the witness, the period of assistance lasted two years, with each month receiving NIS 4,500 from the defendant.
See also the testimony of Yohanan (Roman) Kikazshvili, a childhood friend of the defendant, who described how he got into an economic crisis (became "impoverished" as he defined it), and asked for $200,000 in aid against a partnership in a business he planned to open in order to get out of the crisis:
"...So I offered him the business, I even brought him the printed business plan, he said he wasn't interested, he didn't even read the plan. He, he said that if I needed money he would just lend me money and that I would pay it back when,
