Key issue to note- Smartmatic was used in supposedly corrupt election that got Manzano’s associates in power ie current VP, President and his business associate Madcur, multiple connections from him personally. Leonardo Madcur and Jose Luis Manzano are in HB’s drive It’s a cesspool of corruption

He is a swamp creature from argentina probably advancing China interests in the region.

Recently the same extreme left wing party from the 90's got elected and the country is already going to shit like Venezuela.

I don't know who Manzano is, but apparently he's licking his chops about the access to Joe that his relationships with Hunter (and James?) now bring him.

Hey Hunter, I think you are either playing golf or going to Arlington Cemetery this morning, but Elbit (Israeli Defense Contractor) is coming in at around 11:00, Devon is coming down early for the Gabriel / Manzano meeting, and will meet with them. I think we will talk over Diamondback as well as how we might work together.

The two guys in the meeting will be there VP of Biz Dev and there # 2 in their ground operations. They are divided into three division Air, ground and coms, and ground is supposed to be their most important division. I think we can also talk advisory business as long as it doesn't trigger FARA or lobbying registration. They were supposed to be here at 9:30 but are delayed an hour or so, I think we will take them to the Ritz for lunch if you make it back early and want to join us. Jay Rouse * * * Office * Cell*"

I know - I am sorry - but I don't really think I can do anything until Friday. Maybe Thursday. Even once I have all the money in I have to talk to the accountant and make sure I did the math correctly and find out what the final numbers are going to be (he already has the books and is going over them so we'll be 95% there). Then I have to pay you. It always takes two business days to process payroll. That's why I was working with shutting down the books on Wednesday so you can get paid on Friday.

I got the EnGage check today and I got the wire from TA/CAF today as well. What I really need is 4Tell's check ($5/10K) and Manzano's payment ($20K). Not counting on SmartSynch although if I got it I wouldn't have to worry about the others as much. Gabriel sent me an email from Manzano in Spanish saying that the payment was authorized and would come this week but he couldn't be sure what day (I asked Gabriel to see about getting it ASAP - I know Gabriel is trying). 4Tell is a mystery and a crap shoot (last email on Thursday said it would be sent out then or Monday - no check or communication since then).

The only other immediate suggestion I have is to use the $3250 you have set aside for the final deck payment at the end of January. Up to you if you want to risk it. Eric D. Schwerin Rosemont Seneca Partners, LLC * * * * * P Consider the environment before printing this email.

Hope you're doing well.

In regards to the Kosmos deal, do you know if Manzano was part of the CNOOC team that made a bid of the company in late 2010? If not with CNOOC, who are they partnering with in China? In regards to the Repsol deal, it looks as though Repsol is following a clear path of divestment in YPF. What has Manzano's communication/progress been to date? Thanks for your help. Best, Mike
