goodolboy, ... It only tells me - if it's true - that Deli would have asserted his 5th Amendment rights in the deposition. Treffry (perhaps for many other reasons, too) would not have let Deli talk freely unless the offer to settle the civil and criminal claims had been accepted.
If he did represent Deli, Treffry is goofier than I thought. He should have run the other way from Deli if he had divided loyalties. Looks to me almost like a way to get insurance that that Deli not talk and a way to get information about what questions the feds are asking.
What do you think anyone will learn about those Deli sold for from a deposition where the 5th is taken? I think, nada.
It would be interesting to know - if it's true - whether Deli has switched attorneys now that the civil complaint has been filed. Once he's served, an appearance will be placed on file by Deli's attorney. Any bets it's not Treffry? ... eom
