## Steven,

I'm not su=e how/why this helps you in your case to pursue this avenue w/her. Even=if we get the documents from her showing he hasn't paid her back, how do=s that help you in your case? Also, I don't want to get her all riled=up into filing a lawsuit against Hardman and getting a judgment against hi= before we have a chance to do so. I would like to file a cross claim a=ainst him in our case for fraud, etc. and get a judgment before anyone els= does, so if he wins the lottery, we can hopefully get some of your money =ack.

Nevertheless= I'm happy to call her and see what she has to say if you want me to. =l'm trying to keep your legal expenses down by not chasing down too many=blind alleys. Just let me know either way.

Trent,

The lady who called me was Linda Idgner (spelling?) Her number is Mi ll She said she gave Mike Hardman $30,000.00 in 2005 and it was =o earn 6% paid twice a year. She then gave i e 0,000.00 at 7.5% in =007. She said she has asked for her money back and he always makes excu=es. She said she thinks he invested it in real estate. She never sen= the documents to me. Perhaps you should telephone her and ask if she s=nt the materials.
