37. Later on October 20.2009. ?vIr. Blackman received a fax iI-om lvIarvin Jones. The fax

was a power of attomey that Malvin Jones had for Edward M. Halvey. TIle Transcript describes

it a durable power of attomey. On January 11. 2010. the Transcl1pt records no flllther substantive

action or investigation by the Defendant other than a consultation and to complete tmst fund and

close the case as defimct and no assets. (Transcript pagt' 108). This action was again confirmed

in several subsequent entries in the Transcript.

38. On May 18. 2010. Randy Coleman. attomey for Bradbury. again contacted Mr.

Blackman with a Form 2848. (Transrript page 109)

39. On May 18. 2010. Mr. Blackman received a letter from Marvin Jones requesting

account information on Arkansas Tmcking. Mr. Blackman mailed that information to him. Mr.

Blackman also received a letter from Malvin Jones telling him that conceming the sale of the

tmcking company that no creditors were paid anything since the company had a negative book

value. The account inf()lmation previously mailed to Marvin Jones at 16609 Cantrell Road #12.

Little Rock, AR 72223, could not be delivered and was renImed to Mr. Blackman. Again the

tranScl1pt records that the taxpayer was out of business and had no assets. The decision was

again to close the case. (Tnnsnipt page 110).

40. One of the final entries in the HistOlY Infollllation of the Transcript on October 22.

2010. without further amplification. is "Fraud potential has been considered.'" (Traosnipt page

111).

41. Dming the time pel10ds recited above and because the Transcript is silent. apparently

there had been no record of disclosure by Mr. Jones to Mr. Blackman of other company assets

then existing fi:OIll which the tmst fund could have been paid.

For example. one such asset was the Continental Express tmck terminal property

and the rent being paid by Celadon on that property to Continental Express in the amount

of $20,650.00 per month. Upon infoll11ation and belief. a pan of the Celadon rent was

dive11ed to an entity named Sentell Enterprises or an entity by similar name. in which a

relative of Bonnie Harvey had an interest. Upon infoll11ation and belief. the rent funds

were not applied to payment of the t111St fimd.

b. In the TransclipL there is no record of disclosure by Mr. Jones to !'vir. Blackman

that he and the Harvey's were able to settle the above referenced residual $1.3 million

dollar Daimler debt for an amount of $600,000.00, which ostensibly freed up

approximately $700.000.00 for tax payments. (FOI page 148). Upon infonnation and

belief. these fimds were not applied to payment of the t111st fund by Marvin Jones or

Harvey.

c. In the Transcript. there is no record of disclosure by Malvin Jones to Mr.

Blackman of the disposition of the thuds from the liquidation of the $1.000.000.00

Certificate of Deposit with AIG. (FOI pagt> 56, 121 and 122). Upon infoll11ation and

belief these fimds were not applied to payment of the trust fund by Malvin Jones or

Harvey.

d. In the Transcript. there is uo record of disclosme by Malvin Jones to Mr.

Blackman that the liquidation of Textron receivables yielded positive net funds to

Continental Express and Arkansas T11.lcking. Upon infoll11ation and belief and from the

swom deposition testimony of Marvin Jones in other cases, the net received from the

liquidation of the receivables was approximately $700,000.00 to $800.000.00. (FOI

pages 121, 122, 127, 133 and 135). Upon illfonnatioll and belief. these fimds were not

applied to payment of the tmst fimd by Marvin Jones or HaIvey.
