Definitely do not remember it. It must have been a significant amount of money, but I don’t remember it.
Q: When you say "significant", how—how much do you—how much money you estimate it was?
--- סוף עמוד 729 ---
A: I can't say it, but it wasn't a few thousand shekels. It was not – it was more than that, definitely

Q: …I'm sitting over here, and I'm – it's troubling to me to listen to you at one moment have absolutely no recollection of any dealings with Mr. Dechner but for a 6,000$ contribution back in 1996, and then conveniently overlooking the fact that you might have received upwards of a half million shekels from him in the heart of your problems.

A: I'm absolutely entirely forthright, and if I don’t remember immediately something and then I come back to it, it's only because I'm trying to dig into my memory and to be sure that I remember everything and not to skip on any information, and never said that I got half a million from Mr. Dechner. I didn’t say that.
Q: You said hundreds of thousands is your best recollection.

MS. BARAK: Significant – you said significant.
THE WITNESS: Significant, yeah, but I don't remember it was half a million shekels. That I didn’t say at any time. I don't remember. I didn't say it, so I'm just repeating what I said.

MR. MCGOVERN: Okay. So there we go.
THE WITNESS: But – Okay. I – you don't show me the records. I don't debate it. I said I don't remember it. And I am trying to dig into my memory and to remember all this, as you ask me, and therefore, if I come back a little bit later to an answer, it's only because I really work hard to make sure that I give you only the honest and the most truthful answers"
