INDIVIDUAL LICENSEE ISSUES:
 New 
Orleans Auction Galleries (NOAG)
Pre-Bankruptcy 
of April 1, 2011
June 20, 2011:
	
 
LALB 
	Meeting:  6/20/11 - Initial Discussion of NOAG Bankruptcy
	LALB Attorney Anna Dow states that unpaid 
	consignors will
be 
	paid via NOAG's January, 2011 auction; however,
	the reality is 
	that the consignors were paid 
	ONLY as a 
	result
of $500,000 
	in DIP financing provided by Eric Aschaffenburg.
	
	
	 7:49
	
	Executive Assistant Edmonds:  "Five 
	consignors contacted us, and NOT EVEN
	 all five filed complaints." The 
	subtle defense of Ms. Steinkamp was birthed.  Interestingly enough,
	Ms. Steinkamp, five (5) months later at a November 15, 2011 LALB meeting, 
	STRONGLY pushed
for a substantial pay raise for Ms. Edmonds!!  
	
	
	 12:20 - 
	12:50 
	Board Member and 
	LAPA President Freddie Phillips 
	references
 Massoud 
	Pouratian's 2008 Los Angeles, CA lawsuit against NOAG
	wherein Mr. 
	Pouratian represents that he  bid 
	$114,000 on paintings purported to be by 
	famous artists
 but which he says were 
	"total fakes" 
	and which 
	arrived from NOAG with 
	Christie's rejection stickers
	
	on the backs of them!  
	Nevertheless,  LALB Chairman Steinkamp
brushes aside Rev. Phillips 
	concerns as "not relevant."
