In those messages you indicated that you may seek testimony from Mz. Ricciardi and Mr. Koski ina criminal trial, Mr. Ricciardi and Mr. Koski would be able to testify only if the General Counsel authorized their testimony. See 17 CFR. 200.735-3(b)(7). At this time, the General Counsel has not authorized their testimony because Mr. Ricciardi and Mr. Koski could not provide any relevant non-expert, noneprivileged, factual testimony. Indeed, they do not have personal knowledge of any matters that appear to be relevant to any proceeding against you. Please direct any further communications regarding this matter to me.
