Setting up payment

Scholl doesn't tell us his point, but he does move onto another exhibit and another date in August 2004. This is the meeting that takes place in McNeil's office and the two men are setting up payment.

Apparently the conversation starts recording about halfway through, so we miss the beginning. But the parts of the conversation that Scholl picks out have to do with the bribe money - only he never says the word 'bribe'.

"You tell John Ford that 'My name is on the account'," asks Scholl, referencing the audio on the video.

"Yes, that's correct."

"You don't tell him that E-Cycle is on the account."

"No."

"You talk about methods on how to pay Mr. Ford."

Again McNeil says 'yes'. He is heard saying the following on the transcript: "I'm just going to do cash. Cash is easier for everyone to deal with...Let me know in the future how you like it."

Ford agrees with accepting a cash payment at the moment.

"You offered to pay him in check also. Is that correct?" says Scholl.

"Yes," says McNeil.
