Summary

Exhibit 1, Document 26-1 filed 06/19/23 in Case 1:22-cr-00232-JKB, a 4-page email titled Monday afternoon 1 pm meeting sent by Alexander Barabash, signed as CEO President of DesignBuild, to Douglas Davis and Stanley Beers, marked USAO-001082 through USAO-001085. The email says a regional manager at a bank asked for a breakdown of the number of employees and a schedule of all real property owned because the paperwork was out of sorts. It says the writer's business accounts are on hold and lists items to reconcile for 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 taxes, including profit and loss forms and PPP applications. The scanned text of the figures is garbled and the exact numbers are not stated here.

A good
morning
to everyone
I
received
another
call from Matt Cohen
Regional
Manager for MT on Friday
afternoon
and due to the paperwork
being
so out of sorts they want
everything
to be clearly explained
and corrected
1 He requested
a thorough
breakdown
and accountability
of the number of
employees
on specific dates their names
position
with company
and salary
I have
prepared this document

it
with this email
in both
Word
and
PDF format After you have
a chance
to review
we need
to send
a PDF
document

My Business accounts
are on hold
until this is resolved so time is of the
essence
I have
no access to money and tens of dozens
of transactions
are bouncing
because
all my funds are frozen
To be proactive
I have
prepared
a brief outline so that we
can
eliminate
explaining
the given
circumstances
and focus
on
being extremely productive
today
