Informant knows that’ ~~~*~ _ at the time of the transfer KAVNER was spending a lot of time with SCHEIB, and after KAVNER and SCHEIB returned from San Francisco KAVNER had several meetings with DORIA. | oo, | . Informant stated that he knows for a fact that | at about the time of the transfer KAVNER came up with some money as at that time KAVNER paid off a loan KAVNER | had at the Erie Bank, Erie, Colorado. Informant related that | in about December, 1960, KAVNER came to him and said he needed $10,000. in a hurry and asked the informant's assistance in helping him obtain a loan. . KAVNER was introduced to PHIL MATTHEW, who was then Executive Vice President of Empire. Financial Corporation, Van Nuys, California. MATTHEW told KAVNER that if KAVNER had collateral he could arrange a loan for KAVNER at the Erie Bank, Erie, Colorado, which is owned by Empire. KAVNER wanted to obtain a loan just on the strength | of his signature and the signature of the informant as co-signer, ' + but MATTHEW would not make a loan on that basis. KAVNER | then said he could put up stock as collateral, which MATTHEW accepted, and the loan was made. Informant noted that at _ the time he asked KAVNER if he had the stock why he did. not sell the stock and obtain the money instead of getting the loan, _ to which KAVNER replied that the stock actually belonged to a truck operator who was just signing the stock over to KAVNE as a favor to assist KAVNER in obtaining the loan. | { i i and at about the time KAVNER closed the SCHEIB deal KAVNER had the money to pay off the loan. ; informant noted that KAVNER is shrewd and probably got the money to pay off this loan through a mortgage on his house or another loan and is probably paying off the indebtedness incurred in this latter financing with the money he obtained out of the SCHEIB deal.
