- 7 - Trust, Federal Tax Identification Number 56-6454364",4 as well as certain, partially completed bank documents bearing the same tax identification number. To the extent that these “Minutes” and bank documents bear a date, they all purport to be dated May 1, 1997. Among the foregoing “Minutes” is one entitled “First Minutes of the Acme Trust”. This document references a Robin Morgan, “creator” of the trust, who purports to appoint Robert Hogue as “legal trustee”. In the “Second Minutes of the Acme Trust”, Robert Hogue purports to appoint Carol Ruthenberg as “substitute trustee/legal agent”.5 In yet another “Minutes”, Michael Welch and Carol Ruthenberg, identified as “old trustees”, purport to appoint Robert Hogue as “new trustee”; Welch and Ruthenberg then purport to resign as trustees. Also noteworthy is the fact that the purported signature of “Carol Ruthenberg” on these “Minutes” does not resemble the purported signature of “Carol Ruthenberg” on the January 13, 1997, trust instrument discussed above. 4 We regard “Acme Trust” and “Acme Equipment Trust” as one and the same. 5 Although the “Second Minutes” are not dated, the “First Minutes”, “Third Minutes”, “Fourth Minutes”, “Fifth Minutes”, and “Sixth Minutes” are all dated May 1, 1997. Also, we note that the various “Minutes” are followed by an undated document entitled “Resignation From the Acme Trust” that is executed by Robert Hogue.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Next
