The man: Exactly what it means, letter of intent, letter of wishes.
...
The woman's counsel: Let me ask it differently, you say it's just a legal matter. You don't know how to write letter of wishes? Didn't you write like that?
The man: I didn't say I didn't know how to write letter of wishes.
The woman's counsel: Did you write like that?
The man: If you let me answer, I would answer. Can I answer the question?
The woman's counsel: Please.
The man: OK. On the day he establishes an irrevocable trust transfers assets to a trust, those assets are not his. He got rid of these assets. Since there is a trust letter and the trust knows who the creator of the trust is, they will know how to take into account the creator's wishes if new situations arise that did not exist in the past, for example, if something happens in the future that was not planned on the day the trust was established and it does not contradict the trust letter, from time to time it is possible to submit a request for trust, which will take into account the wishes of the founder or beneficiaries.
The woman's counsel: What loyalties did you write to? letters of wishesDuring the marriage?
The man: I don't remember.
The woman's counsel: What loyalties did you write to? letters of wishes Since the breakup?
The man: Since the breakup, no one has (See the minutes of the hearing of November 24, 2020, p. 912, paras. 1-23, emphases not original).
- The woman showed that even when the man was removed as a beneficiary in one of the trusts (Arizona) for tax considerations, he was still entitled to receive regular and full updates on any action or investment of the trust funds, all in accordance with a letter of wishes written by the late Mr. Amos (see Appendix 90 to the wife's summaries). In addition, the woman presented a number of wishes written by the late Mr. Amos regarding two trusts (Arizona and Virginia), which benefit the man. Thus, in the Letters of Wish, it is stated that the trustee will consult with the person regarding any action relating to the trust, including the addition or removal of beneficiaries, investments in the trust, the distribution of funds or appointments in the trust. In addition, it was written that the charitable funds that were defined as beneficiaries of the trust at the time of its establishment will be removed, and these will be replaced by new beneficiaries - the man, the woman (as long as there are no divorce proceedings between them) and their children.
The wishes also state that the woman will be divided during the man's lifetime, and even after his death, in sums sufficient to sustain her at the standard of living in which she was accustomed to living with the man, and all that, again, provided that no divorce proceedings are conducted between them (see Appendix 87 to the wife's summaries).
- From what has been described above, it is clear that the man has the full ability and skills to retain from the wife, at the time of the separation of the parties, her full rights to the couple's property through complex trust structures and shell companies, and with the assistance of a network of trustees who in fact served as his 'long arm', as the woman In fact, even the wishes act as the man's planning 'long arm', with the beneficiaries (and especially the woman) defined as beneficiaries according to their relationship status to him. When he wishes, the woman enjoys it loyally, and if he wills, she no longer enjoys it. In one of the cases that the woman proved, it worked as follows: Mr. Amos z"l signed the wish letter in which it is requested, inter alia, to appoint the man, the woman and their children as beneficiaries of the trusts when the woman's status is removed in the event that divorce proceedings are opened (see Appendix 64 and Appendix 85 to the wife's summaries).
- The same management pattern of the man is also learned from the testimony and correspondence of Mrs. Jennifer and the man, who has no other way to define her as a puppet with the man's remote control and does his absolute will. The man explains to Ms. Jennifer, who serves as a director of the Alabama company and manages five other trusts of the man, that he can always change his duties in trust, which means that the man has full control of the management (see Appendix 66 to the woman's summaries). Also, in the very same document, the man instructs Ms. Jennifer to open bank accounts for a Nebraska company belonging to the Arizona Trust and ... belonging to the Nevada Trust, and informs Ms. Jennifer that the Nebraska Company is expected to receive between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000 (see Appendix 65 to the wife's summaries). As mentioned, Mrs. Jennifer, despite her job description, at most does her job and carries out the instructions of the man who has unfettered control over the way trusts and companies are managed.
- Thus, Ms. Jennifer testified that the man was entitled to contact her and ask her for distributions of money (see transcript of July 16, 2020, pp. 456, 22-23 and 457, 1-11). The woman claimed that her application to Ms. Jennifer regarding the Alaska Trust after the outbreak of the dispute between the parties was met with mere disregard, even though she was defined as a beneficiary of this trust. This was not denied by Ms. Jennifer in her testimony (see transcript of July 16, 2020, p. 493, paras. 14-24 and p. 495). In addition, as emerged from Ms. Jennifer's testimony, with the outbreak of the conflict between the spouses, the woman lost her status as a beneficiary of the loyalties, while nothing happened to the man's status as a beneficiary. Thus, for example, she was asked and answered on the matter of one of the trusts:
"B"20 The woman: You said that because of the divorce proceedings in Alaska [The Woman] 5Ya you don't enjoy it anymore.
