reflecting a payment of $12,000 to petitioner in 1998.
Petitioner’s relationship with San Luis Tank lasted until that
business ceased operations in 2000.
Also during 1996 or 1997, petitioner entered into a contract
with PSEG Global, Inc., to provide consulting services. PSEG
Global was interested in building and operating a power plant in
San Luis, Mexico. During 1998, petitioner assisted PSEG Global by
performing various tasks including negotiating with the Mexican
government, acting as a conduit in obtaining the proper
certifications and permits that are required in Mexico, and
engaging in other business negotiations. Petitioner prepared
monthly billing invoices for the work he performed for PSEG
Global. These invoices indicate that they are from “Luis Acle,
Occidental Utilities”, and the total amount billed by petitioner
in 1998 was $160,310. Of this amount, $140,763 was for services
petitioner rendered and $19,548 was for expenses he incurred. On
certain occasions, PSEG Global would refuse payment of certain
charges or modify the amount requested. PSEG Global’s records
indicate the addition of three payments other than those shown on
petitioner’s invoices, totaling $11,679, and the omission of one
payment of $12,360 that was requested by petitioner on an invoice.
The one payment that petitioner requested but which is not shown
on PSEG Global’s records as having been paid is a request for fees
of $10,000 and expenses of $2,360, on an invoice dated November
