THOMAS WHITE, and DOES I through 25, | Dept: 302 inclusive, | TELEPHONE APPEARANCE BY Defendants. PLAINTIFF Trial Date: May 6, 2013 ¢ Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure 437, Plaintiff submits its Separate Statement of Undisputed Material Facts and Supporting Evidence in support of its Opposition to Defendant’s Motion for Summary Adjudication. Issue No, 1: Undisputed Material Facts (UMF) in defendant’s Separate Statement are incomplete and thereby misleading. Defendant’s Undisputed Material Facts Plaintiff's Response to Defendant"s UMF And Supporting Evidence Supporting Evidence 1. Plaintiff's cause of action for breach Defendant left out important statements of oral contract entered into on or in the Second Cause of Action that about February 2005, is premised = _)_ detail the fact that defendant breached PLAINTIFF SEPARATE STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF OPPOSITION TO MOTION FOR SUMMARY ADJUDICATION CGC-09-494198,nN on claims that defendant paid him $25,000 on the contract and that based on defendant’s representation that defendant would pay the remaining $325,000 once defendant was released from prison, plaintiff agreed to modify the contract and excuse defendant’s payment of the remaining $325,000 until defendant was released from prison. Supporting Evidence 1. Plaintiff's First Amended Complaint, { 9; Plaintiff's answer to Interrogatory No. 50.3 in defendant’s Form Interrogatories, Set No. One (Form Interrogatories and Answers are attached as Exhibits A and B, respectively, to the Declaration of Geoffrey Rotwein, { 2). Plaintiff set the date of the contract to on or about February 2005 in Exhibits Cand D to the Rotwein Declaration, 2 PLAINTIFF SEPARATE ‘ATE! the agreement to defer payment until the defendant was release from prison when he terminated plaintiff's employment including: First Amended Complaint (FAC) #28. “On or about February 19, 2008, White terminated KELLY’s employment thereby accelerating the date the deferred bonus amount was due from the date WHITE was released from prison to the date WHITE terminated KELLY’s employment. Since no bonus was paid WHITE breached the oral agreement by refusing to compensate KELLY pursuant to the terms of the contract.” Defendant implies the contract was never breached and was and is still active thereby rendering the entire Second Cause of Action premature while ignoring any issues concerning the anticipatory breach of the contract plaintiff alleges in #28 of his FAC. Though plaintiff agrees with the facts put forward by the defendant in #1 those facts were obviously taken out of context and deliberately omit the material fact that defendant breached the agreement in question whose contract validity he now attempts to rely upon as justification for the motion at hand. Plaintiff's position is that there was an anticipatory breach of the contract at the time the defendant terminated plaintiff's employment and defendant is wrong to ignore facts surrounding the breach of that contract while at the same time stating in his Reply to Plaintiff's FAC; “Defendant Thomas White generally denies each and every allegation in plaintiffs First Amended Complaint filed March 21, 2012” and stating in the motion at hand; “defendant disputes that any contract arose as plaintiff alleges in INT IN SU PORT OPPOSITION TO MOTION FOR SUMMARY ADJUDICATION CGC-09-494198 91872. Defendant Thomas White has been incarcerated in prison continuously from January 1, 2005 through the present. Supporting Evidence 2. Declaration of Geoffrey Rotwein, q3. his FAC.” Both these statements are clear evidence plaintiff repudiated the contract. Defendant cannot claim his obligations have not yet arisen regarding a contract he repudiates since repudiation caused or causes an anticipatory breach of the contract. Even if defendant disputes he committed an anticipatory breach when he terminated plaintiff's employment which is difficult to reason given the evidence, if he did not commit an anticipatory breach then he has now by the two statements noted above. Agreed, Though this statement is technically correct, the true start date of defendant’s incarceration was on February 11, 2003. Issue No. 2: Defendant generally denies each and every allegation in plaintiff's First Amended Complaint including the Second Cause of Action which plaintiff contends is meritorious. Undisputed Material Facts 3. Defendant Thomas White generally denies each and every allegation in plaintiff's First Amended Complaint filed on March 21, 2012. (This denial by implication includes the supporting facts and events associated with each and every allegation in the Second Cause of Action in plaintiff's FAC as set out below in #4 - #42 which plaintiff contends are undisputed material facts.

Plaintiff first met the defendant in 2002 In Los Angeles California where the defendant agreed to invest $192,900 to fund further development of the plaintiff's website LogicalReality.com, as detailed in First Year Expense Projections approved by the defendant. LogicalReality.com was a public affairs website with articles on several controversial subjects including religion, gun control, the Iraq war, pedophilia and other hot button subjects. . Defendant was arrested and incarcerated in Bangkok Thailand request for extradition put forward by Mexico. . Defendant hired plaintiff to assist him in his quest to be released from prison and offered to pay the plaintiff a “stipend” of $2,000 a month plus bonuses which would be based upon the proven worth of what the plaintiff could do to assist the defendant. (Note: Facts 7-25 which follow, evidence some of the reasons plaintiff came to believe the defendant was innocent which serve to establish how and why plaintiff came to believe he could succeed at gaining 2” citizenship for the defendant through convincing others of defendant’s innocence.

After viewing a video recording which DVD held by defendant’s attorney was a primary piece of evidence Stuart Hanlon not yet acquired in. supporting the defendant’s indictment discovery. that showed the defendant in bed with someone from Prague alleged to be under 18 according to an affidavit by a prosecution expert, plaintiff doubted the validity of the US expert’s assessment of the true age range of the individual based upon the fact the expert’s opinion was likely skewed by the nationality and cultural differences between someone from Prague versus someone from the US. Additionally, the fact the defendant met this individual in a bar in Prague certainly evidenced the defendant’s reasonable assumption that the person taken back to his hotel room was over 18. Also, the fact the expert’s qualifications were never questioned and the person alleged to be under 18 was never located led the plaintiff to believe the charges against the defendant could not withstand rational or legal scrutiny if ever brought before a court. 9. Plaintiff’s personal assessment of the Email summary of treatment costs defendant was that he was an honest, (Exhibit “D”). altruistic, trustworthy person incapable of harming children due to the caring nature the plaintiff had witnessed on many occasions including when he offered to pay for plaintiffs treatment for Hepatitis C which cost about $18,000. 10. Defendant told the plaintiff several Declaration of Plaintiff #10. times that he was a victim of an international conspiracy to extort money from him and after reviewing much of the evidence supporting allegations of child-sex crimes against the defendant recantations by alleged victims, the plaintiff believed the defendant was being truthful.

In and around the time of the defendant’s indictment, someone broke into the plaintiff's apartment and stole his laptop which contained information related to the defendant. Plaintiff wondered at the time if there was any connection between the burglary and those prosecuting the defendant. 12. The same week a ruling was due to be handed down in the defendant’s extradition case, someone posted a link on LogicalReality.com’s public bulletin board linking it to a website containing pictures of nude boys some of which the plaintiff determined likely met the legal definition of child pornography due to the fact they showed erect penises. Plaintiff removed the link to the child pornography website (CPW) and investigated the source by running a whois command on the site’s ip address. Plaintiff determined the website was hosted on a server that was physically located in Mclean Virginia and consequentially on a server hosting numerous government websites. 13. Two days before a decision was due to be handed down in the defendant’s Thai/Mexican extradition case two fraudulent checks were issued against the Los Angeles, CA Bank of America corporate account of LogicalReality.com Inc. The bank paid both checks in spite of the fact both the signatures and printed company names on the checks did not match those on the account. After investigating who wrote the checks, plaintiff determined that one of the checks was used te purchase computer equipment and the other to purchase a digital camera through EBay by someone -6- Evidence not yet acquired in discovery.

Based upon the evidence uncovered during plaintiff's investigation including the timing of the events, plaintiff concluded he was being set up to be arrested by rogue elements of the FBI or other government officials unknown to the plaintiff in a fallback plan to arrest both the defendant and plaintiff on child pornography charges related to possible attempts to associate the plaintiff's website with false evidence of illegal activity, in the event the defendant won his extradition ease and was released from prison in Thailand. As it turned out, the Thai Court denied Mexico’s request for extradition which plaintiff believes the US was informed of before the decision was handed down thereby further evidencing motive and the sense of urgency behind an assumed plot to assure the defendant could be rearrested in the event he was set free. Fearing he may be arrested at any moment plaintiff forwarded all the evidence he had gathered excluding any photos from the CPW he felt met the definition of child pornography to the defendant’s attorney Stewart Hanlon in San Francisco in the hope the attorney could intercede and prevent any illegal acts by rogue law enforcement officials. . Several days after notifying Hanlon that the plaintiff had sent evidence to him that could indicate an illegal conspiracy by rogue law enforcement officials against his client, Hanlon notified plaintiff that the Fed-Ex package sent to him had been consequentially singled out for inspection and seized in Alaska by US Customs officials as child pornography.

At this point plaintiff was convinced there was an illegal conspiracy against the defendant by rouge law enforcement officials bent upon convicting him for sex tourism in large part supported by an illegal conspiracy to extort money from the plaintiff by individuals who had brought a civil lawsuit in San Francisco seeking damages related to alleged sexual abuse of a minor. Plaintiff felt there was enough evidence based on the above events to convince others that the defendant was innocent of the charges against him and that the defendant to some degree met the definition of a political refugee. 24, As of today, the primary individuals involved in the San Francisco case noted in #23 alleging sexual abuse against the defendant, including the plaintiff in that case Danny Garcia and the attorney representing him David Repogle, have both since been found guilty of murder of an elderly gay man with a financial motive in a scheme involving many similarities to their previous ultimately successful attempt to extort money from defendant White through false accusations of sexual abuse. Of particular note is the close relationship these individuals had with the prosecutor and FBI agents involved in defendant White’s prosecution in which one case ultimately settled for approximately $10 million in spite of the defendant’s repeated contentions that he did not want to settle and that his attorneys misled the court into believing he had agreed to settle. These subsequent events show plaintiff's conclusions about the defendant's innocence were well founded. 25.

Defendant gave the plaintiff a $1,000,000 budget for the Citizenship Acquisition Project and put plaintiff in charge of that project as stipulated by their agreement.

Plaintiff was concerned for his personal safety and emailed instructions to his stepson regarding who he should notify in the event plaintiff failed to return from a trip to Cambodia. _ At one point in the negotiations to acquire citizenship, the defendant agreed to donate $500,000 to the Prime Minister’s favorite charity as part of a plan to induce high government officials to grant defendant’s citizenship request. This evidences how important it was to the defendant to be granted citizenship. As it turned out, plaintiff later decided not to attempt to acquire citizenship with the group of individuals who proposed the donation to the Prime Minister’s favorite charity because plaintiff felt their approach might not withstand legal scrutiny. It was a formable task by any measure for the plaintiff to succeed in convincing high government officials that the defendant was a person of good moral character which is a prerequisite for acquiring 2” citizenship in virtually all countries around the world including Cambodia.
