239. Thomas White statements made to Patrick Kelly on or about February 2005:

PLAINTIFF ANSWERS TO SPECIAL INTERROGATORIES FROM DEFENDANT TO PLAINTIFF
CGC-09-494198b) White stated that he agreed with my position that while it might be fun to drive to
the boarder in a Mercedes S-500 it did not really fit my style or financial situation and that I
would be better off with the cash equivalent.
¢) White stated that he was concerned about being hounded by NGOs in Cambodia
and also worried that they could cause the government to revoke his citizenship.
d White stated that there was no need to put our agreement in writing since I could
trust him to live up to the agreement if I succeeded and further that he did not want to take the
chance that prison officials and others such as the FBI might see the written agreement if it was
reviewed by prison officials prior to his being able to sign it which was the normal procedure for
all documents he signed.
e) White stated that he did not want me to tell Cal, Kunacha, Deborah or anyone else
about our agreement because he was worried they would start asking him for more money and
would be hurt if they found out he was paying me more than he was paying them.
ph White stated that he agreed with my analysis that it would be foolish to attempt to
acquire illegal documents since they likely would not stand up to the high level of scrutiny he
would surely receive when passing through © S
g) In response to my question about how much the budget should be for the
citizenship acquisition project White stated $1-million dollars,
h) White stated that he would not pursue second tract attempts to acquire citizenship
through others during the time | was trying to acquire citizenship for him because he agreed with
my concerns that other attempts to acquire citizenship could jeopardize my chances of success,
i) White stated that he would suspend all other attempts to acquire citizenship for
him and further stated that he had already lost a lot of money on previous failed attempts.
jp White stated that he wanted me to acquire a passport for him as quickly as
possible and that he was willing to pay for expedited service,
ky White stated that he was putting me in charge of the citizenship project and
agreed not to remove me from that position until it reached a successful conclusion.
1h White stated that he gave me the authority to use my best judgment to speak on
his behalf where circumstance required immediate decisio
m) White stated that he would be willing to set up a charitable foundation in
Cambodia to help the poor and/or transfer funds from his Mexican foundation to Cambodia
n) White stated that he wanted me to look into buying a house for him in Cambodia
if the citizenship project succeeded though he was not sure where it should be located.

PLAINTIFF ANSWERS TO SPECIAL INTERROGATORIES FROM DEFENDANT TO PLAINTIEF
CGC-09-494 1980) White stated he would not discuss the citizenship project with Cal, Deborah or
non-attorney others due to the need to keep the Project and its delicate negotiations confidential.
239. Patrick Kelly statements made to Thomas White on or about February 2005:
a) I stated that I believed I could convince high officials that White was innocent of
the charges against him and further convince them that he was the victim of an international
conspiracy to extort money from him.
b) I stated that if White was willing to do things like set up a charitable foundation to
help the poor in Cambodia this could open the way to his acquiring citizenship in Cambodia.
c) I stated that if White gave me control ofa project to acquire citizenship for him
that | thought I could succeed provided I had full authority to act on his behalf and provided
White did not discuss the project with anyone other than his attorneys.
d) I stated that the first task in any such project would be to locate the tight people to
approach with the citizenship request and further that I knew how to do this by testing the
credibility of those we would approach.
e) I stated that I would not involve myself in anything illegal on White’s behalf and
to do so would be potentially detrimental to both of us.
f) [stated that in my opinion the country where White stood the best chance of
acquiring citizenship would be Cambodia
g) I stated that though I appreciated his offer to buy me a Mercedes $-500 if]
succeeded in getting him a legal passport, | would rather have the cash equivalent since I needed
the money to open a coffee shop.
h) I stated that Mercedes S-500 cost about $350,000 US in Thailand,
i) I stated that all my responsibilities under our agreement would be completed as
soon as I was given a passport for White that contained a Thai visa from the Thai embassy in
Cambodia which would confirm the validity of the passport.
ji I stated that Calvin Miller could not be involved in the project because I did not
trust in his ability to be discreet and keep his mouth shut and that if the wrong people found out
about the project they could easily prevent its success.
k) I stated that I thought Calvin Miller might feel insulted by not being invited to be
part of the citizenship acquisition project and further stated that I needed White's assurance he
would not change his mind later and ask me to include Miller in the project.

CGC-09-4941981) I stated that | would acquire an attorney to assist me in the project,
m) I stated I was worried that if White told his friends and family about my
involvement in the citizenship acquisition project they might take steps to undermine its success,
n) I stated that I trusted White to live up to the agreement and agreed with him that
we did not need to put it in writing.
0) I stated that I thought I could bring the project to a successful conclusion with his
suggested budget of $1,000,000 and that the budget amount did not include my bonus.
p) I stated that I did not want Kunacha involved due to the fact he might see such a
project as encroaching upon his role as White’s Thai attorney.
qQ I stated that I would do everything possible to see that the project moved along as
quickly as possible.
rt) I stated that though Cambodia NGO's could and likely would become a potential
problem for White once they discovered he was a Cambodian citizen, there was nothing we
could do about that at this point and that if it became a problem we could cross that bridge when
we came to it.
s) I stated that it was my understanding that once White was granted citizenship it
would be very difficult for an NGO or anyone else to legally force the government to revoke his
citizenship.
t) I stated that I thought it would be difficult for the US to extradite White from
Cambodia since he would be. a Cambodian citizen who would also likely have friends in high
places who could balance out any extrajudicial US influence.
239. Patrick Kelly statements made to Calvin Miller on or about February 2005:
a) I stated that Tom had agreed to pay me a sizable bonus if I succeeded in gaining
2™ citizenship for him,
b) Tstated that due to the sensitive nature of the Citizenship Acquisition Project I
was not able to discuss any of its details with Miller and that he should not take this personally.
c) I stated that I had hired an attorney to assist me and that I thought I would be able
to succeed at gaining citizenship for White.
d I stated that when we landed in Cambodia we were given the VIP treatment
including a military escort that even accompanied me when I went to the bathroom,

e) I stated that I was concerned about my safety when I traveled to Cambodia
because I was not sure of the type of people I was dealing with,
h I stated that we had met with high military officials and members of the King’s
family.
2) T stated that White was impatient and expected me to accomplish this all but
impossible task overnight.
hy I stated that the fact White was imprisoned in Thailand and could not travel to
Cambodia made the task of acquiring citizenship for him extremely challenging.
239. Calvin Miller statements made to Patrick Kelly on or about February 2005:
a) Miller stated that White was a man of his word but could get a Little strange when
it came to money.
b) Miller stated that he agreed with the need to keep the citizenship project on a need
to know basis but that I might be expecting too much to think that White would not tell his
trusted friends and family members about the project.
&) Miller stated that Wray Pomeroy was a real blabbermouth and that if he ever got
wind of what was going on the project might as well be on the front page of a newspaper.
d) Miller stated that White had a difficult time dealing with all the requests for
money from the steady stream of triends and family who visited him at the jail.
The above statements are not exact quotes but rather general recollections of things that

the agreement to defer payment until
the defendant was release from prison

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

a contract he repudiates since repudiation

that showed the defendant in bed with
someone from Prague alleged to be under

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

11. 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.

. 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

CGC-09-494 198,23. 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.

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.
Plaintiff was open and honest with high
government officials about the serious
nature of the defendant’s legal problems
and also related to them his own
experiences with what he believed were

plaintiff attempted to bring up the subject
during a phone conversation where

and said he was not going to pay such a

upset Wray and others and that plaintiff
should propose some other type of interim
remuneration package that could be justified
to others which he would consider after the

to in spite of the carrots the defendant
offered to fund future projects defendant
suggested he would pursue together
with the plaintiff after he was released.
Plaintiff emailed the defendant on July 1,
2006 insisting that defendant increase his
draw and pay him a bonus.
On July 5, 2006 defendant sent plaintiff an
email ignoring his earlier suggestion that
defendant would consider an interim
remuneration package and now appeared
to be suggesting that no raise at all should
be given. Throughout these email interactions
plaintiff was unable to make written
reference to the original bonus the defendant
had agreed to since all emails sent to the
defendant were being read by Wray Pomeroy
who the plaintiff had previously agreed not
to divulge the bonus terms of the Citizenship
Acquisition Contract.
During a phone conversation from the
defendant to the plaintiff on or about July
21, 2006 plaintiff agreed to accept a
partial bonus payment of $25,000 at the
request of the defendant provided the
balance of $325,000 be paid when the
defendant is released from prison which
both parties agreed to. Defendant said
that not only was he worried about how
others would react to his giving the
plaintiff such a large sum of money, he
was also worried that if he paid the full
amount now the plaintiff would no
longer be financially dependent upon
him and might decide to stop assisting him.
The defendant assured the plaintiff he had
nothing to worry about since he was sure
he and the plaintiff would pursue many new
ventures together in his new home country
once he was released from prison.
Defendant paid plaintiff $25,000 towards
the bonus amount that had originally been
agreed to and plaintiff agreed to defer
