                                       - 297 -                                         
         was paid to her by checks from Administration Co., and she                    
         testified that she worked for Administration Co.                              
              Amy Albrecht (Albrecht) described her role as looking at                 
         "deals".  Albrecht's testimony that she submitted on the average              
         anywhere from 20 to 40 deals a year to Freeman greatly exceeds                
         the 5 or 6 deals a year she had previously claimed during an                  
         interview with IRS agents.  The $1,000 a month that Albrecht                  
         received did not depend on what she did or how many "deals" she               
         looked at.  She received $1,000 a month even if she did nothing.              
         The checks issued to Albrecht were from either KWJ or                         
         Administration Co.  During the time that Albrecht was receiving               
         $1,000 a month from KWJ or Administration Co., she was employed               
         by the Vantage company.                                                       
              The testimony of Thomas Lisle, Melinda Ballard, Hart, and                
         Albrecht is not credible.  They performed no services for KWJ.                
         The payments to them were from funds Ballard and Lisle earned                 
         from the Prudential transactions.                                             
              The record clearly shows that Kanter, Ballard, and Lisle                 
         agreed to share the payments made by the Five related to the                  
         Prudential transactions that were paid to IRA, Zeus, and KWJ                  
         Corp. in the ratio of 45 percent each to Ballard and Lisle and 10             
         percent to Kanter.  Most of the funds were accumulated in IRA or              
         a subsidiary until after Ballard and Lisle left Prudential.  It               
         was then that 45 percent of the accumulated funds were
