DIRECT EXAMINATION
BY MR. JONES:
Q.
Good afternoon, Mr. Crevier.
A.
Good afternoon.
Q.
Can you please tell the jury what you do for a living?
A.
I am a real estate broker.
Q.
And, prior to being a real estate broker, had you had a
different career?

Yes. I was a -- I am a retired law enforcement officer of

Q.
Where were you working?
A.
City of Hallandale Beach.
Q.
And you -- when did you retire?
A.
November of 2023.
Q.
Were you operating as a real estate -- are you a real
estate agent or real estate broker?
A.
I am a real estate borrower now. I believe I became a real
estate agent -- I believe it was in 2015.
Q.
And what is the difference between a broker and an agent?
A.
An agent is someone who is licensed to practice real estate
within the state of Florida.
And, being that, you have to work under a broker in order
to be able to practice real estate.
Q.
Okay. And, as a real estate agent, can you work for more
than one broker in the state of Florida?
A.
No, you cannot.
Q.
What is Valor Dog, LLC?
A.
That is my company.
Q.
And what did that company do in 2021?
A.
Real estate brokerage.
Q.
Well, let's back up. When did that company start?
A.
Well the company was formed approximately in 2012, 2014, I
believe, in another venture, nothing to do with real estate.
But, then it migrated into real estate when I became a real

estate agent, when I got my broker license.
Q.
Was that in 2015ish?
A.
No, that would have been in 2017.
Q.
Okay. And, what is Blue Line Realty?
A.
That is the name of my business, or the business, but it is
a "doing business as" Blue Line Realty, Valor Dog Realty doing
business as Blue Line Realty.
Q.
So, they are effectively one and the same?
A.
Correct.
Q.
So, just for everyone's education, can you tell the jury
where did you get the Valor Dog name from?
A.
During my career as a law enforcement officer, at the
beginning of my career, I was a canine handler, and my canine
partner's name was Valor.
Q.
Did you ever get those baseball cards of the dogs?
A.
I believe I had some, some, at some point, yes.
Q.
And how does this -- how does a -- your company, how does
the brokerage work? Can you just explain to the nature of your
business, and the people working for you?
A.
Sure. I have numerous agents that currently work for me
now. We -- the agents assist customers either in selling their
home or buyers buying their home, or a combination of both, as
well; also renters, as well.
Q.
And, as a brokerage and firm, can you describe the process
of the payments?

Where does the -- if someone sells a house, for example,
under your brokerage, do they get paid, or -- sorry, does the
real estate agent get paid, or do you get paid?
A.
The brokerage gets paid. And, at that point, the brokerage
submits a check or issues a check to the agent that procured
the deal based on a commission set or whatever was worked out
prior to.
Q.
And so your business is responsible for paying not
employees, but these are contractors that work for you?
A.
Yes, they are independent contractors.
Q.
And, I guess dating back to 2017, how many independent
contractors did you have under your umbrella?
A.
In the year 2017?
Q.
Sure.
A.
Approximately two, maybe three.
Q.
And, what were your earnings, approximately, as a brokerage
firm back then?
A.
In 2017, I think it was somewhere in the neighborhood of 40
or $50,000.
Q.
And, in 2018, did you grow at all?
A.
Yes, we did.
Q.
Was that by adding more contractors?
A.
A combination of both; obviously, we did add more
independent contractors as agents. But, the agents that we
currently had were starting to build clientele, as well.

Q.
And, in 2019, were you still in operation?
A.
Correct. Yes.
Q.
And, in that time, did -- how, well, how was the real
estate industry doing in 2019?
A.
It was doing well. I believe that year, we had made -- I
think it was $140,000 in gross for the year.
Q.
That's almost -- you have been growing. So, it was about
three times what you made 2017?
A.
Correct.
Q.
And how about 2020?
A.
It 2020, that was 240,000.
Q.
So, you continued to grow in 2020?
A.
Correct.
Q.
Did you see sales increase during the pandemic?
A.
Sales increased. That coupled with I was adding on more
independent contractors as agents, as well.
Q.
And how about 2021? Was the structure, or how did you do
as a brokerage firm in 2021?
A.
It was strong, but we did have a little dip from the year
prior. I think we made $25,000 less, somewhere in the
neighborhood of, I think, 230 or something like that.
Q.
And, overall, during that period, did the real estate
market grow or shrink?
A.
It was growing.
Q.
I am going to take us back into 2022. Are you familiar

with 2019? Are you familiar with the defendant,
Alexandra Acosta?
A.
Yes, I am.
Q.
How do you know her?
A.
She was one of my independent contractors for Valor Dog
LLC, d/b/a Blue Line Realty.
Q.
And, do you recall when she joined your brokerage?
A.
I do recall, yes.
Q.
When was that?
A.
That was approximately -- I don't know the exact date, but
I believe it was at the end of 2018.
Q.
And how did you meet?
A.
Through a mutual friend, an individual that was an
independent contractor, a realtor for me knew of Alexandra and
knew she was licensed as a real estate agent, and there was a
possibility that she may want to leave her current brokerage
and possibly come on board with mine.
Q.
Did you also have any of Alexandra Acosta's family working
for your brokerage.
MR. SILBER: Objection, relevance.
THE COURT: Overruled.
THE WITNESS: Yes.
BY MR. JONES:
Q.
Can you tell the jury who they were?
A.
Her mother.

THE COURT: Do you want to show it to the jury?
MR. JONES: Yes, your Honor, please.
BY MR. JONES:
Q.
I will pull up the trial projector now.
Mr. Crevier, I am going to -- well, let's take a look at
the top of this document here. This is Government's
Exhibit 400. It is a one-page document. I am going to
highlight the section so we can all read it a little better.
Can you describe to the jury what we are looking at?
A.
This is a 1099 in the year of 2019, made by my company to
Alexandra Acosta.
Q.
Is this a form that is generated by your company?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And it reflects what, exactly?
A.
This reflects the individual who earned compensation for
that particular year that usually has their social security
number, if they are a sole proprietor, or EIN number if they
have an LLC in their name. And, it also has the compensation
that they -- that they received for that year.
Q.
And, in this instance, how much did you disclose in the
1099 that Alexandra Acosta earned in 2019?
A.
$13,904.
Q.
I am going to show you what has been marked as Government's
Exhibit 401.

MR. JONES: Your Honor, I move to admit Government's
exhibit 401.
THE COURT: Okay.
MR. JONES: Without objection from defense counsel.
May I publish for the jury?
THE COURT: Yes.
(Government's No. 401 was received in Evidence.)
BY MR. JONES:
Q.
Mr. Crevier, I am showing you Page 1 of Government's
Exhibit 401. Can you describe the document that I am zooming
in on?
A.
The -- yes. This is a check from my company's account,
made out on the 11th of October, 2019, to Alexandra Acosta in
the amount of $7,104.
Q.
And what does this memo line here -- what does that
signify?
A.
That is a reference to the location of the transaction.
Q.
When you say, "location of the transaction," are you
talking about the house, or --
A.
Correct. Yes.
Q.
And, do you know what this payment was for, exactly?
A.
I believe this was for a sale of that house. It could have
been for a purchase. I'm not sure, at the location of 4165
West 5th Lane.
Q.
Now, I am scrolling down to Page 2 of Government's

Exhibit 401, and I am going to highlight a check again.
Well, can you describe what we are looking at?
A.
That is also another check from my company dated the 11th
of October, 2019, also made out to Alex Acosta for $5,600 for
the location of the property address of 8560 Northwest 10th
Street.
Q.
And this check is dated the same date as the first check
that we just saw on Page 1; correct?
A.
It is correct.
Q.
Can you describe the nature of why there would be two
checks on the same day?
A.
Sure. The individual that Alex Acosta was working with was
selling a house, and also purchased a house. And, this
transaction was simultaneous, or on that same day.
Q.
Okay. So, this is one client, a sale and a purchase?
A.
To my knowledge, that's correct, yes.
Q.
A colleague once told me there is nothing more painful than
scrolling. But, let's go to Government's Exhibit 401, Page 3.
What are we looking at here?
A.
This is another check from my company account on the 14th
of March, 2019, made out to Alex Acosta for the amount of $700.
It is $800. It was a rental for the property address of 755
Southwest 113th Way.
Q.
And this memo does say rental. So, an agent can earn
commission on a rental?

A.
Yes, sir.
Q.
How exactly does that work?
A.
Normally, the listing agent for a rental usually has one
month's worth of rent to be split between both sides of the
transaction. So, I believe this property was -- the monthly
rent was $1,600, and Alex had a client, though, who I was
believe was the renter for this location. So, when that --
when the lease was signed, the compensation from the seller's
side was $800 towards Blue Line Realty, which was then given to
Alex Acosta.
Q.
And, the last page of this exhibit -- so, it is Page 4 of
Government's Exhibit 401, again, highlighting another document
here, what are we looking at?
A.
This is another check, generated by my company, dated on
the 31st of August, 2019, made out to Alex Acosta for the
amount of $400. And, it was a rental commission, as well.
Q.
Now, these four checks -- you received a trial subpoena
requesting documents from your business, correct?
A.
Correct.
Q.
And, when you went back and went through your records, you
produced to the Government certain checks and/or you provided
certain proof of income; correct?
A.
Correct.
Q.
Now, is what we went through today the scope of what
Alexandra Acosta made in 2019 for your firm?

A.
Yes, it is.
Q.
Now, when you also looked through your records, did you
determine whether she had earned any money in 2020 from your
firm?
A.
She did not.
Q.
Can you describe your interactions, your day-to-day working
with Ms. Acosta as a real estate agent, in 2019, for example?
A.
Sure. There wasn't much contact. But, that is not to say
I don't have much contact with all of the agents that I do --
that do work under my umbrella.
The majority of agents have other employment. So, this is
not their primary employment. So, this is not -- some agents,
it is, to where they do very, very well; other agents only do
one deal a year, four deals a year, may not do any deals a
year. So, I may not have any real interaction with
individuals. It all depends on whether or not they are having
something come up real estate-related at that time.
Q.
And, in 2020, did you have any interaction with the
defendant, Alexandra Acosta, about real estate?
A.
I may have, but there was no transactions that she did, to
my knowledge.
Q.
You mentioned that her mother also works under your
umbrella. Did Maritza Acosta make sales in 2020?
A.
I --

Yes, I believe so, yes.

How about Erin Thompson. Did Erin Thompson make any sales
during that period?
A.
No.
Q.
I am going to show you one last document. This is

MR. SILBER: No objection.

was for a rental.

CROSS-EXAMINATION
BY MR. SILBER:
Q.
Good afternoon, sir.
A.
Good afternoon.
Q.
Thank you for coming in today.
A.
You are welcome.
Q.
Just a couple of questions. You mentioned that you had
another career before entering real estate. Was that in law
enforcement?
A.
Yes, sir.
Q.
And, how many years did you spend in law enforcement?
A.
25.
Q.
And, when you started your real estate company, did you
leverage those being in law enforcement in the sense that you
knew people that maybe needed to buy homes or apartments -- did
you get law enforcement customers?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Was that a large or small or medium portion of your
business?
A.
Initially, it was a large portion, in reference to the
number of transactions we had. But, then as years went on, not
only was it just law enforcement officers, but it was a
diversity of other different types of employment, individuals
that had nothing to do with law enforcement whatsoever.
Q.
Sorry, you said -- how long were you in law enforcement

Q.
25 years, sorry.
THE COURT: Is your microphone on?
MR. JONES: Sorry. I am not so good with the tech.
BY MR. SILBER:
Q.
All right. And, in terms of the agents that you employed,
did you employ fellow officers who were looking for part-time
work?
A.
I didn't employ agents. They worked under my umbrella as
independent contractors.
Q.
That's what I mean. I don't mean they are a technically
employee/employer relationship; but, my point is you had police
officers who were working full time in law enforcement working
with your company part-time as realtors; correct?
A.
That's correct.
Q.
Okay. And that, of course, is the context how you came to
know Ms. Acosta; correct?
A.
Well, it was through a mutual friend who was an agent.
Well, I don't know if it was a mutual friend. I believe it was
a mutual friend. But, it was an agent who was currently
enduring the umbrella of Blue Line Realty who knew Ms. Acosta.
I did not know her. And, he introduced us.
Q.
But, what I am getting at is she is in a category of
realtors who was working full time in a law enforcement agency

and part-time working with your company?
A.
Correct.
Q.
And, I am guessing, just like Valor Dog was the name of
your canine, Blue Line references law enforcement; is that
where you got the name?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And, you must have sold a lot of homes to law enforcement
officers; is that correct?
A.
What is considered a lot?
Q.
You sold more than 50?
A.
The company has, yes, somewhere right around there. I am
not sure. But, you know --
Q.
Are you familiar with the special privacy protections that
a law enforcement has accessible -- law enforcement officer has
accessible to them in terms of public records related to their
residence?
A.
Sure.
Q.
Okay. And, isn't it true that a law enforcement officer
can submit a form with the local County property appraiser to
hide their address from the public?
A.
That is correct.
Q.
And, do you have any idea why that might be the case?
A.
For privacy reasons in reference to individuals that that
officer may have come in contact with during their law
enforcement duties and would look up their address.

Q.
It is fairly obvious what we are talking about, right?
A.
Sure.
Q.
And, you were in law enforcement 25 years. Right?
A.
Yes.
Q.
I am guessing you guarded where you lived closely; correct?
A.
Well ---
Q.
That is not something you would publicize to people you
interacted with, right?
A.
My, address is public.
Q.
Well, what I am saying is, as a member of law enforcement,
you have a reason to protect your privacy and your personal
identifying information; correct?
A.
I have a reason to?
Q.
As a member of law enforcement, yes.
A.
That's up to the individual who owns a house, whether or
not they want to make that private or not.
Q.
That is what I am getting at. Law enforcement engages with
some fairly nasty people from time to time; correct?
A.
They can, yes.
Q.
It can be extremely violent people, right?
A.
Sure.
Q.
And, I am sure in the course of your 25 years, you must
have interacted with more than few, right?
A.
Yes, I have.
Q.
Certainly, those are people that you do not want knowing

where you live; correct?
A.
Correct.
Q.
Where you rest your head at night?
A.
Sure.
Q.
Or your children are at home, right?
A.
Understood.
Q.
And, is that why your law enforcement customers would like
to have their personal information kept out of the public
record?
A.
That would be a reason, if they wanted to do so. But, that
would have to go -- that is an individual choice of a law
enforcement officer, to petition the County and fill out
documentation in reference to doing that.
Q.
Okay. But, it certainly is something that is accessible to
them; correct?
A.
For law enforcement officers?
Q.
Yes.
A.
Yes, of course.
Q.
That doesn't exist for accountants, as far as you know,
right?
A.
Accountants?
Q.
Yes.
A.
To my knowledge, no.
Q.
Okay.
A.
I don't know. But -- I could be wrong, but I don't believe

so.
Q.
What I am getting at is your real estate, you know the
process, this is a special thing that only law enforcement has
accessible to them; correct?
A.
I know law enforcement does. I am not sure if there is any
other employment, you know, jobs that have that. There may be,
but I don't know.
Q.
But, just to summarize and to move on, if a law enforcement
officer was your customer, they could, if they wanted to, take
advantage of that special opportunity to keep their personal
address out of the public for their own safety, right?
A.
Correct, yes.
Q.
That's -- it is for their safety, right?
A.
Sure, yes.
Q.
Okay. All right.
The Government showed you a whole bunch of checks for 2019.
Let me just pull these out.
Can you see what I'm looking at?
A.
My screen is black.
Q.
Oh. Is it blank still?
A.
Yes, sir.
MR. JONES: Your Honor, what do I need to do to turn
on --
THE COURT: I have to switch it on. Hold on.
MR. SILBER: Sorry.

Q.
Perfect. There we go. All right. They showed you this
check, right?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And, there is Valor Dog doing business as Blue Line Realty?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Alex Acosta, 4165 West 5th Lane?
A.
Correct.
Q.
That would have been a home that she sold, right --
A.
Correct.
Q.
-- as a realtor, right?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And, this 7,104 represents the commission she earned,
right?
A.
That's correct.
Q.
Okay. And, that was paid to her on October 11, 2019,
right?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Okay. Perhaps so we can do this quicker, 8560
Northwest 10th Street -- do you see where I am looking at here?
A.
Yes.
Q.
That would have been another home she told, right?
A.
Correct.
Q.
And the commission was $5,600?
A.
Correct.

represent the commission she made getting this rental?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Okay. March 14, also, 2019?
A.
Correct.
Q.
Okay. So, isn't it true that in the year 2019, she was an
active realtor working with your company?
A.
In 2019, yes.
Q.
And she earned about $13,900?
A.
Correct.
MR. SILBER: I have nothing further of this witness,
your Honor.
THE COURT: All right. Do you have redirect?
MR. JONES: No, your Honor.
THE COURT: Thank you. You may step down.
(Witness excused.)
