                    d.  Conclusion                                                    
                Respondent has failed to prove that, with respect to the              
          United States, Steven made a fraudulent transfer within the                 
          meaning of Fla. Stat. sec. 726.106(1).                                      
                    3.  Fla. Stat. Sec. 726.105                                       
                    a.  Introduction                                                  
                To prevail under Fla. Stat. sec. 726.105(1), respondent               
          must show that the transfer was made either with (1) fraudulent             
          intent or (2) without receiving a reasonably equivalent value in            
          exchange, and the debtor knew, or should have known, his debts              
          would be beyond his ability to pay as they fell due.  Respondent            
          has failed to make either showing.                                          
                    b.  Fla. Stat. Sec. 726.105(1)(a)                                 
                To prevail under Fla. Stat. sec. 726.105(1)(a), respondent            
          must show, among other things, that the transfer was made with              
          “actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor of the             
          debtor”.  Fla. Stat. sec. 726.105(2) provides that, in                      
          determining actual intent, consideration may be given to (but is            
          not limited to) several factors.  Respondent directs our                    
          attention to the following of those factors:                                
                1.  The transfer was to an insider (including a relative).            
                2. Before the transfer was made, the debtor had been sued             
                    or threatened with suit.                                          
                3. The transfer was of substantially all the debtor’s                 
                    assets.
