Hunter Thank you for the note. I to am one of the few folks that has the problem of a last name that cuts both ways. That is among other reasons why I have had a "lifestyle change" and have not had a drink in quite some time. You are a friend first and foremost therefore you and your family's well being are more important to me than any deal or amount of money. It was a mistake perhaps for me to have forwarded to you Lindsays email for that I apologize. No one has ever suggested that you should be removed from the Fund. That will not happen. Yesterday the Chinese language media picked up the story. Your story appearing in the Chinese news became the Chinese government owned medias response to the New York Time full page expose on the business dealings of Premier Wen's family which ran a few months ago. Subsequently Jonathan has received a number of inquiry's about this matter. I have not been able to reach Lindsay in the last 24 hours by phone but I will find her this evening. I have spoken to Michael Lin he is on the same page with us he is now aware this matter happened last year and it is in the past and you are moving forward. Michael suggested that it would be helpful if you could call Jonathan and Henry Zhao. I know Jonathan is a friend and he will be easy to talk to and I have a suggestion on how to deal with Henry. If you have a few minutes later in the day please give me a call at 617.872.5772 I am free after 2:00pm Thanks Jimmy On Tuesday, October 21, 2014, Hunter Biden <hbiden@rosemontseneca.com> wrote: > In board mtg until noon.
