📰 The Leff Ledger

Today

  • It is Wednesday, Nov 11 (Veterans Day), and no events are on your Work or Jim Leff calendars today.
  • Brandon Reif's Metroswitch / InterMetro rights read is due today or tomorrow (Nov 11 or 12), and Charles at Metroswitch also promised a call in the same window.

Overnight

  • You Sent three things yesterday: at 8:41 AM PT a reply to Charles Rice, Josh Touber, Karen at TR Winston, and Tim Tucker asking for call times this week; at 8:42 AM PT an "Investment update call this week" note to Anthony at Moon Holdings; and at 5:29 PM PT a forward of the Sherwood Country Club membership-release documents to Jamie Mendiola. Both call asks are now waiting on the other side, so the two unsent drafts from yesterday's brief no longer exist.
  • The only Metroswitch response is Charles Rice's out-of-office auto-reply at 8:50 AM PT, which is not a real reply. Brandon's read is not in mail yet, the DocuSign is still unsigned, and the closing is Nov 20.
  • Sherwood: Steve Wilson sent the release letter, form, and final statement of charges (Nov 10, 3:24 PM PT), and Jamie wrote at 6:24 AM PT today that your mom told her not to pay the final invoice and transferred it to her membership. There is nothing to pay; whether the release form is signed is not stated in mail.
  • Nothing else cleared: no payment, wire, capital-call, e-file, or completed-signature mail landed, and the Southland deposits (LT Partners $1,390.41 and JBL Trust $1,348.68, per the Oct 31 mail) due to fund Nov 9 still have no deposit mail.
  • The Rebellion thread is unchanged, with no mail since Shu Chowdhury's Saturday Nov 7 9:29 AM PT ask to meet at Cecconi at The Ned NoMad (coordination moved to text), so please confirm the meeting happened; William Cook's forward is still unanswered separately.

Past due

  • The Baseline land loan modification's Friday, Nov 6 condition date is now five days past and unmet in mail, because Shelley Magoffin still needs David's unrecorded Citrus partnership loan information and subordination language (and may need legal), on top of Kris Antonelli's yellow and red items and Tim Tucker's DOT #3 corrections, so the modification remains at risk of being void until those clear.
  • The Nominal IOI due Friday, Nov 6 to investors@m13.co passed with no IOI in Sent (Series C-1 at $3B post, SPV up to $15M, $1M minimum), and its docs and funding are due Friday, Nov 13, two days from today.
  • On money still past due, Realization Fund II ($24,550) is about 51 days, Powerplant II about 42 days, the like-kind / promote item (Heather and Aviram) about 27 days, and the AB 2025 invoice is unpaid so there is no e-file (W-015 about 26 days overdue).
  • The WAB Mid Valley $20,000.00 internal transfer that failed Nov 2 still has no retry in mail, Tanya & Carl's $400k payoff remains unconfirmed, and WAB overdraft *3418 is still noted as open.
  • Laurie Howard's Oct 23 ask (call her on the HVAC and electrical invoices, approve Figueroa $11,324.41, and decide 50% or all of Clydesdale's 10560 glass doors) is about 19 days past due.

Coming up

  • Brandon Reif's Metroswitch review and Charles's promised call are both expected today or tomorrow (Nov 11 or 12), the DocuSign remains unsigned, and the closing is Friday, Nov 20.
  • GFOC is tomorrow, Thursday Nov 12, at SLS Beverly Hills (confirmed in mail and on your calendar: registration 9:30 AM PT, program 10:15 AM–5:00 PM PT, drinks to about 7:00 PM PT; Garden Room and Terrace, 465 S La Cienega Blvd).
  • Friday, Nov 13 is the Nominal docs-and-funding date, and Anthony at Moon Holdings owes you call times (nudge him only if nothing by about Friday).
  • Caren Cole says she will direct Wells Fargo to sell the Crow's Nest securities on her list next week unless you answer (see Top 3).
  • Sammi and Stella are in Mexico Nov 13–16; M13 Q3 reporting is Sunday Nov 15; the office potluck is Monday Nov 16 at 12:30 PM PT; your haircut is Tuesday Nov 17 at 3:30 PM PT.
  • Wednesday, Nov 18 holds both the FPA Value Partners liquid stock distribution election (1.0% ratable low-basis securities for charitable donations, due to cspf@fpa.com; Vahan Abulyan, (310) 996-5475) and the Fin Capital AGM in San Francisco at the Julia Morgan Ballroom, 465 California Street (RSVP ✓ via Jamie; registration 1:30 PM PT, main session 2:00 PM PT, cocktails 5:00–7:00 PM PT; calendar block 1:00–7:00 PM PT), with the flight and hotel still open seven days out.
  • Thursday, Nov 19 has a Cynthia Weston entry on your Jim Leff calendar at 9:00 AM PT and Sammi and Stella's JetBlue flight JFK→LAX at 9:40 PM ET; Metroswitch closes Friday, Nov 20, which is also Heather's K-1 estimate deadline; Alexis & Ace are in LA Tuesday Nov 24 through Saturday Nov 28 (flights TBD, per the calendar note).

Stalled

  • Nida's ask that you (and Buzz) approve a $250,000 9990→VRLO capital contribution for Laurie's construction draws is still open, now about six days, because Buzz's reply is image-only.
  • Wells Fargo's Vincent Villa has not answered on the Streetbeat transfer (about 12 days) or loss harvesting (about 16 days).
  • Tyler's Noon Energy call for SPLY is still unanswered, Exclusive Resorts Nantucket is still treated as lapsed unless you accepted in the portal, and the deferred reminder to think about grandkids life insurance (Gen2/3 / Heather quotes) came due Nov 8 and is still open.
  • Laurie's Citicard allocation ask is now at its 3rd request for the statement closing 9/7/26 (first ask Oct 16, about 26 days) and 2nd for the one closing 10/8/26, both sent Nov 10 at 10:14 AM PT.

New since yesterday

  • Caren Cole asked Heather whether to proceed next week with directing Wells Fargo to sell the Crow's Nest in-kind securities on her list (everything except the keeps AMZN, GOOG, and TSM; ELEEF is already liquidated); the Oct 27 estimate was about $524.9k of proceeds and $120.3k of realized gains, and she says she has had no response from you or Rob (Nov 10, 3:59 PM PT).
  • Nida wrote that your #5033 account "has high balance $300K" and asked whether to invest in SEQFRN ("SEQ need funds"); Heather replied that you can invest some but Jamie will likely ask for it back for rent and credit card bills (Nov 10, 2:19 PM PT).
  • Laurie Howard asked you to approve Clubs Plumbing invoice INV1301 (amount not stated in what was read), and Debbie Sandler forwarded the Red O holiday-lunch contract (Thu Dec 10, 12:30 PM, Treehouse Patio, Westlake Village) asking Heather and you to review and approve.
  • Pat Flynn (IronArc Ventures, formerly Accuidity, who worked on your SpaceX investment) wrote "Jim & Rob, been a while! Would love to catch up" and asked for a call or Zoom (Nov 10, 3:01 PM PT).
  • Paychex says to enroll in or update your 2027 FSA by Friday, Dec 18 (Health Care FSA limit $3,500).
  • Tim forwarded the Maverick Lien Fund V, VI, and VII Q3 statements with his read ("More write-downs… fund may return 4%" on V; VI's hotel loan opens Q1 2027; VII "fees eat away at ROI"; amounts not stated), and told Grant Fulkerson to send the 2360 Sturgis Unit A counter at $930,000.
  • Caren sent Heather the Moon Holdings (Anthony Borquez) six-investment estimated market values for the 12/31/25 mark-to-market (contributions $2,300,000.00; estimated market value $1,100,000.00; Moon Holdings distributed $63,077 on 9/30/26), and Caren is also waiting on "Jim's update" for the 2026 values, which ties to your call ask to Anthony.
  • Jamie told Heather your 529 reimbursement (1/1/26–9/3/26) landed in your x5033 account (amount not stated; she asks Heather to confirm the Sage entries and whether to invest); Rob asked Heather, Gary, and you to fund the grandkids' IRAs (amount not stated); Jamie Mendiola asked Laurie to reimburse GKL to you x5033 for $5,870.72, and Nida asked Heather to approve a transfer from LTP to you x5033 ("due from LTP", amount not stated); Heather approves those.
  • Tim's WSJ cyber link led Buzz to ask John (Syntiro) to price Huntress managed EDR/ITDR, which needs an endpoint count including home VPN computers (Buzz owns it); iCapital updated the AQR Flex 1 offering documents and Allocate / UMB sent FPA Hawkeye-7 Q3 commentary (no action).
  • American Airlines says you reached AAdvantage Platinum Pro status (755,526 award miles and 134,308 Loyalty Points as shown in the mail).
  • Amazon delivered Stella's beads on Nov 10 at 1:04 PM PT (her Arts & Crafts ×3 order is complete) and Sammi's other five jewelry and skin-care items, six of seven delivered with the last due Saturday Nov 14; a new $8.70 Stella order arrives today.

Security

  • Suspected phishing, filed to _JUNK and not deleted: a "Purchase Confirmation Notice" from a "Maxwell Fernandez" through a random iCloud address, addressed to a garbage gmx.net address with no body and an image attachment; do not open the attachment or call anything.
  • Possible phish to double-check, filed to _REVIEW: a "Vote now! TESLA, INC. Annual Meeting" email from "Wells Fargo Advisors" via proxyvote.com failed SPF, DKIM, and DMARC (a sibling copy passes), so it is probably real mail altered in transit — use your brokerage site, not the links. The FPA Hawkeye-7 (UMB) and iCapital notices also failed authentication through the same Microsoft relay pattern seen on legitimate forwarded mail, so they are likely relay artifacts; do not open the FPA attachment unless verified.
  • No new suspected phish arrived in the Nov 10 6 AM to Nov 11 ~6:55 AM PT window.
  • The Western Alliance card ending 7624 added to Apple Pay on an Apple Watch on Sunday Nov 8 at 2:54 PM PT is still unconfirmed in mail (the same card was re-added Oct 18 and you confirmed then; please confirm this Watch add is yours).
🎯 Top 3 decisions
  1. 1 🏗️ Baseline land loan mod: supply the Citrus subordination info / clear remaining Kris + Tim items, or accept Fri Nov 6 conditions unmet and the mod may be void? PAST DUE

    Decision 1
    Due: Fri Nov 6 (PAST, 5 days) · Open: ~9 days · source: email-followup
    Recommendation: Get David’s Citrus unrecorded partnership loan details to Shelley today (and confirm Kris’s remaining yellow/red and Tim’s DOT #3 are closed).
    Why: Shelley says conditions are blocked without Citrus subordination; the condition date has passed unmet in mail.
  2. 2 📈 Nominal IOI: confirm you are passing, or send a late IOI to investors@m13.co (Series C-1 at $3B post, SPV up to $15M, $1M minimum)? PAST DUE

    Decision 2
    Due: Fri Nov 6 (PAST, 5 days) · Open: 16 days (offered Oct 26) · source: deals-in-play
    Recommendation: Decide today — a short “we’re passing” or a late IOI — before the Nov 13 docs-and-funding date if you still want in.
    Why: The IOI window passed with nothing in Sent, and docs and funding are due Nov 13 (2 days from today).
  3. 3 📑 Caren Cole’s Crow’s Nest sell list: tell Caren and Heather keep or sell before she directs Wells Fargo to sell next week (everything except AMZN, GOOG, TSM; est. proceeds $524.9k, $120.3k realized gains per her Oct 27 estimate)? NEW

    Decision 3
    Due: before next week (no exact day stated) · Open: 1 day (Caren’s Nov 10 3:59 PM PT follow-up; she says no response to the list from you or Rob) · source: email-followup
    Recommendation: Send Caren and Heather a clear keep-or-sell by Friday and loop Heather on the $120.3k gain.
    Why: Silence lets the sale proceed next week, and it is tax-relevant for 9990.

🗞️ News That Matters

Your two Tuesday asks went out; Metroswitch and Moon Holdings now owe you times

You Sent Charles Rice, Josh Touber, Karen at TR Winston, and Tim Tucker a call-times request at 8:41 AM PT Tuesday, and Anthony at Moon Holdings an investment-update call request at 8:42 AM PT. Charles’s only reply is an out-of-office auto-reply (8:50 AM PT). Brandon Reif’s rights read is due today or tomorrow, the DocuSign is still unsigned, and the closing is Nov 20.

Why it matters: the unsent drafts from yesterday are gone, and the next move is on the other side — Brandon’s read comes before any call with the company.

Caren wants a keep-or-sell on the Crow’s Nest securities before next week

Caren Cole asked Heather whether to proceed next week with directing Wells Fargo to sell the in-kind securities on her list (everything except AMZN, GOOG, and TSM; ELEEF is already sold). Her Oct 27 estimate was about $524.9k of proceeds and $120.3k of realized gains, and she says she has had no response from you or Rob.

Why it matters: it is tax-relevant for 9990, and silence lets the sale go ahead next week.

Nida asks about your #5033 balance; Laurie escalates the Citicard allocation

Nida wrote that your #5033 account “has high balance $300K” and asked whether to invest in SEQFRN; Heather said you can invest some but Jamie will likely ask for it back for rent and credit-card bills. Separately, Laurie sent a 3rd request for the Citicard statement closing 9/7/26 and a 2nd for the one closing 10/8/26 (both Nov 10 at 10:14 AM PT), and asked you to approve Clubs Plumbing invoice INV1301.

Why it matters: both are waiting on you; the Citicard ask is now about 26 days old.

Suspected phishing went to _JUNK; the Watch card add is still unconfirmed

An iCloud “Purchase Confirmation Notice” lure (image attachment, no body) was filed to _JUNK — do not open it or call anything. A Tesla annual-meeting email via proxyvote.com failed SPF, DKIM, and DMARC and sits in _REVIEW; use your brokerage site, not its links. A Western Alliance card ending 7624 was added to Apple Pay on an Apple Watch Sunday at 2:54 PM PT and is still unconfirmed.

Why it matters: the bank says to call if you did not add the card.
