                                                 -99-                                                   
            Exhs. 221, 5814.  Kanter received a share of development fees in                            
            connection with each of the Prudential joint venture condominium                            
            conversion projects listed above through checks made payable to                             
            Zeus.  Exh. 457; Wold, Transcr. at 2868-2870.                                               
                  Kanter (through payments to Zeus) also received a share of                            
            the fees Frey earned with respect to a Prudential condominium                               
            project known as Galaxy Towers, a building that Lisle’s PIC                                 
            Realty had constructed.  Exh. 457, at  2, 4, 8; Exh. 2030, at 25.                           
            Although Prudential converted the Galaxy Towers to condominiums                             
            on its own, Prudential hired Frey to serve as a consultant for                              
            the conversion and to begin a marketing plan to sell the                                    
            condominiums.  Frey, Transcr. at 684-685.  In exchange for these                            
            services, Frey’s company received consulting fees.  Id.  In                                 
            January 1982, Prudential and BJF, Inc., executed a consulting                               
            agreement regarding the Galaxy Towers.  Exh. 223, app. A, pt. II,                           
            at 8, No. 22.                                                                               
                  In the interim, on October 12, 1981, the existing agreement                           
            that Frey had to share development and management fees with                                 
            Kanter was formalized in two separate written agreements.52  One                            


                  52  The statement in the STJ report that Frey agreed to                               
            share his fees with “Kanter and/or entities associated with                                 
            Kanter” is manifestly unreasonable.  Frey agreed to share fees                              
            with Kanter, and Frey entered into the participation agreements                             
            and remitted payments to Kanter-related entities only because                               
            Kanter directed him to do so.  Frey, Transcr. at 671-674.
