Alvarado Transactions
Angel Luis Alvarado (Mr. Alvarado) sent Mr. Ortiz a $14,100
check in 1991 and a $13,000 check in 1992, both drawn on the
account of Asomante Auto Sales, a company in Puerto Rico that was
a customer of R&X Auto Sales. When submitted to the bank, the
checks were marked with notations about advances for automobiles.
After the checks were processed through Banco Popular in Puerto
Rico and returned to Mr. Alvarado, the notations on the checks
were changed by Mr. Alvarado to read "prestamo", the Spanish word
for loan. Mr. Ortiz repaid Mr. Alvarado by sending him used
cars. He retained part of the advances as his "commission". No
documents were executed to formalize these advances. No interest
was paid by Mr. Ortiz on the advances.
