Re: Clearstone Global Gaming Fund
Dear Mr. Pierce:
This firm represents Gary Winnick and Pacific Capital Group (collectively "client")
with respect to our clients' rights and interests in the Clearstone Global Gaming Fund (the
"Fund").
We have been asked to address your recent communication to our client disavowing
its contractual entitlement to a one-third (1/3) managing member interest in the Fund, as
well as a position on the Fund's Investment Committee. Our review of the communications
between you and our client leads to the inescapable conclusion that you never had any
intention of abiding by the agreement and misrepresented yourselves from the outset by
attempting to trade on Mr. Winnick's reputation and experience by claiming his involvement
in the Fund.
At the very least your conduct gives rise to both fraud and breach of contract actions
against you, personally, the Fund, Clearstone Venture Partners, and any individual
member of the Investment Committee.
We have heard from numerous sources that you have been using Mr. Winnick's
name for the purposes of securing investors for the Fund and various other activities. You
have also prepared a PPM identifying Mr. Winnick's involvement. These actions are not
only in dramatic contradiction to your latest communication to our clients which asserts
otherwise, but also subjects you to legal action for the unauthorized commercial use of Mr.
Winnick's name, a separate and cumulative action which gives rise to both attorney's fees
and punitive damages, in accordance with Cal. Civ. Code § 3344.
Our clients have every intention of protecting their contracted-for rights and interests
in the Fund and in your other gaming activities, as well as protecting Mr. Winnick's name
and reputation. Our clients therefore demand that: (1) you assure their one-third (1/3)

ownership position in any managing member interest related to any gaming or gambling
activity made either by you, individually, or through the Fund, in any part of the world,
including the United States and China; and (2) you cease and desist from using Mr.
Winnick's name in any manner related to the Fund, other than as consistent with your legal
obligation to promptly advise the Fund's present and future investors of the threatened
litigation.
Failure to comply with the forgoing shall result in the filing of suit immediately upon
your closing of the Fund, which you have represented to our clients is already "over-
subscribed." On the other hand, should you decide to forego the Fund, or fail to make
legitimate efforts to raise any monies or contact investors, you will alternatively be liable
to our clients for fraud and breach of contract.
Should these terms not be acceptable to you, please advise us in ten (10) days and
we shall initiate our litigation immediately.
All rights reserved.
Very truly rs,
