Footnote 20.
Specifically, in April 2013, New York attorney Jeffrey Lichtman posted on a prominent hobbyist website a
solicitation encouraging self-identified “victims" to contact the Court, providing the Court’s mailing address
and the caption for Bill’s case. (Ex. 62) (“please let the judge know via letter”). That attorney previously
represented an individual in private civil litigation against Mastro Auctions and Bill, and has since publicly
criticized Bill’s plea agreement with the Government in the New York Daily News for not providing any
monetary restitution to Bill’s victims, some of whom the attorney represents. In short, at least some of these
letters appear to have been submitted at the encouragement of an attorney with an apparent stake in this case.
