Blue Flame v. Chain Bridge — Mike Gula Email on China Wire Instructions (Exhibit 37)
- Date
- 2021-05-07
Summary
Exhibit 37, filed May 7, 2021 as Document 132-37 in Case 1:20-cv-00658-LMB-IDD, Blue Flame v. Chain Bridge, and marked as a plaintiff's trial exhibit. The five-page exhibit is an email chain dated March 25, 2020 between Mike Gula of Blue Flame and the president and the chief executive officer of Chain Bridge Bank, N.A. The bank's president asks for information on contracts and later reports that no wire had been received before the Fed's 6:00 EST processing cutoff. The chief executive asks whether any money had been sent to China as a fee, and Gula replies that it had not been sent but attaches the wire instructions showing where it would go. The final page reproduces those wire instructions for a designated billing entity.

Mike,
Just one question. Did you send any money to China or others as a “fee” for these transactions?
