Will look this over. 1 FILED: NEW YORK COUNTY CLERK 02/14/2023 09:34 AM INDEX NO. 657193/2020 NYSCEF DOC. NO. 1255 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 02/14/2023 Best, Jasmin On Nov 30, 2022, at 8:33 AM, Scott Parker wrote: Jasmin and Steve, we analyzed Santander’s subpoena responses and document production, and we compared our requests to what they actually produced (and we also sent all the documents to Citrin Cooperman). Below is a request-by-request analysis of the deficiencies in their production. In sum: 1. Santander fully complied with Request Nos. 1 and 3. 2. Whether Santander fully complied with Request Nos. 9 and 16 depends on whether the document cutoff date is the date of the subpoena or the date they served their production (see below). 3. Request No. 17 is duplicative of Request No. 15 (they both refer to Account -5142). 4. We withdrew Request Nos. 18, 19 and 20. While we should follow up with Santander on all of the deficiencies set forth below, I think we need to particularly push on: (1) requesting the October and November 2022 statements from the account ending in -3639 (i.e., the account that contained the statements that reflected Berrin’s two $1 million transfers in June and October 2022); and (2) the documents requested in #7 (-0897), because this is Bremen’s payroll account. Joanna/Shayonna, would you please let us know if you can reach out to Santander on these identified deficiencies? Last question – is there any indication as to whether Santander also provided these documents to Pryor Cashman? If not, we should plan to do that. Thanks!! Request No. 2: 1. Instead of account statements for -2579 and -3922 from 12/22/14 to 1/21/15, Santander produced check images and Transaction Inquiry screenshots (maybe they no longer have the statements since they were more than 7 years ago – we should ask Santander to confirm). The contents of the Posted Transactions field in the Transaction Inquiry screenshots is incomplete, because the scroll bars appear to not have been moved left to right and up and down. Also, it appears that only content from the Posted Transactions Tab was provided, but not from the Memo Transactions Tab (assuming there is content within that tab). Request No. 4: 2. For Account -9285, Santander produced: 1. Statements for 2018 2. Copies of checks written from 1/1/18 to 5/31/18 3. Copies of deposits from 1/4/18 to 8/3/22 4. One wire record from 4/12/18 5.
