          his individual capacity, Chavez.  Chavez, a U.S. citizen, was not           
          a Eurotor shareholder and did not have a Netherlands Antilles               
          corporation representing his interest in MTNV.                              
               Andres Gelabert (A. Gelabert) worked for Segui at Segui’s              
          nightclub in Spain.  He was sent to Florida to supervise                    
          construction and to set up the operations of the Florida castle.            
          On May 16, 1983, Allen, on behalf of MTNV, offered to                       
          A. Gelabert, in writing, the position of managing director of               
          MTNV.  The offer provided for a salary of $24,000 per year and              
          3 percent of gross revenues.  A. Gelabert’s duties included                 
          supervising the construction of the castle in Florida; recruiting           
          and training 70 to 100 persons to be employed by MTNV,                      
          particularly kitchen staff; ensuring all aspects of the                     
          production, including verifying that the costumes and props were            
          historically accurate; and developing marketing and public                  
          relations strategies.  The offer was contingent on A. Gelabert’s            
          getting approval from the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization               
          Service to work in the United States.                                       
               Royal Catering, Inc. (RC), was incorporated in Florida by              
          Allen on June 30, 1983.  A. Gelabert was listed as the sole                 
          corporate director.  A. Gelabert was the sole shareholder of RC             
          during the years in issue.  RC was purportedly established to               
          provide catering services to the castle.  Initially, RC was                 
          actually used only as a vehicle to obtain U.S. visas for
