- 101 - A Yes, sir. Q Does that show there? A Yes, sir. Those are reflected in the columns above, 10, 11, and 12. Q So then the source of this $140,000 unknown deposit on ledger card 70501, on 93-R, is the loan from Mr. Margolis? A Yes, sir. Unlike petitioner’s testimony with respect to the deposit of $84,521.63 on September 16, 1986, petitioner’s testimony with respect to this deposit cannot be substantiated with the testimony of other witnesses or with evidence of record. Petitioner did not call Richard Margolis to testify, and he did not submit any evidence or documentation to show that the $140,000 Dean Witter check was a loan from Mr. Margolis.63 Accordingly, we find petitioner’s testimony to be self-serving and of no assistance to him. Petitioner expends considerable effort to establish that on July 12, 1988, $97,893.78 was transferred from the Medlin/Prather Ranch Property ledger card (no. 70501) to the Medlin/Partin ledger card (no. 70042), and that on that same date, $97,893.78 was disbursed to Edward L. and Constance Partin, Mike Partin, and 63Petitioner cites the testimony of Revenue Agent Sherri Blackton that petitioner would at times borrow funds which were secured by giving a deed to the property with an option to buy the property back. However, this does not establish that petitioner engaged in this type of transaction with Richard Margolis on this particular occasion.Page: Previous 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 Next
