JR., and ALEXANDER LIEBSTER, as trustee for the Estate of Ernesto Liebster, by and through

a true and cowed copy of which is attached hereto and matted as Exhibit "1," and as grounds

1.
On July 17, 2013, Plaintiffs, KENNETH MANFREDI, SR., KENNETH
MANFREDI, JR., and ALEXANDER LIEBSTER, as trustee for the Estate of Ernesto Litter
(hereinafter collectively referred to as "Plaintiffs") filed the subject Complaint.

Plaintiffs' Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint
Page 2 of 3
4.
Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.190(a) (2013) provides that leave of court to
amend pleadings "shall be given freely when justice so requires." The primary consideration in
determining whether a motion for leave to amend should be granted is a test of prejudice, and
such leave "should not be denied unless the privilege has been abused or the complaint is clearly
not amendable." Soucy v. Casper, 658 So.2d 1017 (Ha. 4th DCA 1995); New River Yachting
Ctr., Inc. v. Racchiocchi, 407 So.2d 607, 609 (Fla. 4th DCA 1981).
5.
In fact, "refusal to allow amendment of a pleading constitutes an abuse of
discretion unless it clearly appears that allowing the amendment would prejudice the opposing
party; the privilege to amend has been abused; or amendment would be futile." Spradley v.
Stick, 622 So.2d 610, 613 (Ha. 1st DCA 1993); accord Carter v. Ferrell, 666 So.2d 556, 557
(Fla. 2d DCA 1995); see also Dimick v. Ray, 774 So.2d 830, 834 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000) (the
preference of the rules of procedure is for all claims to be brought in one action, even by
amendment of a complaint provided that the amendment does not prejudice the defendant).
6.
Florida conrts have long followed the policy of allowing litigants to amend
pleadings freely in order that cases may be tried on the merits, and that amendments to pleadings
should be allowed where the basic cause of action is not changed. The test is whether the
pleading as amended is based upon the same specific conduct, transaction or occurrence between
the parties upon which the plaintiff tried to enforce his original claim. Tuner v. Th-ade-Mor, Inc.,
252 So.2d 383, 384 (Fla. 4th DCA 1971).
7.
The addition of a cause of action of Civil Theft, pursuant to Florida Statute
§772.11 (2013), arises out of the same specific conduct, transaction and occurrence that is and
has been averred in the original Complaint, and inclusion of this cause of action is necessary in
order for all claims to be brought in one action.

Warehouse where Ernesto Liebster had 2000 model 4000 Ultimate Locks stored and
present them with documents supplied by Ron Daniels. I had originally loaded the 2000
units for shipping when they purchased the locks from Daniels warehouse in Houston
and was asked to unload the locks when he received them back in his warehouse after
they retumed to Houston. This Is how I know he has the original locks sold to them.
This request was made on or about September 6, 2010 a few days after the death of Mr.
Llebster. As a person who has worked with Mr. Daniels and knew of the sale of these
locks to Mr. Manfredi and Mr. Liebster I refused to take pad in this request. I believed
that they, Manfredi and Liebster, had purchased the locks and that Mr. Daniels no longer
had ownership of these locks. I believed this because Manfredi and Liebster had
arranged shipping for the model 4000 locks to their warehouse some month earlier and
were seliklg these locks to their contacts in Jamaica.
As I told Agent Dillon of the Houston Bureau of the FBI, in July of 2011, I did not want to
be pad of any theft charges that may arise as a result of this action. Also I felt taking
these locks across state lines could result in a Federal Felony charge and wanted no
part of what Daniels had planned. After this I found out that he hired a trucking company
to pick up the locks from that warehouse and made Manfredi aware of his actions.
Mr. Manfredi and Mr. Liebster were planning to buy tho remaining model 4000 inventory
from Daniels as per their conversations that I witnessed by being in their company on
many occasions during their time with Daniels discussing their international business. It
was also my belief that Ron Daniels had no ownership or partnership with Liebster or
Manfredi based on those same conversations and Ron Daniels wanting to liquidate this
old inventory for some time. I did witness the personal guarantees that they signed for
the inventory and felt that they were the legal owners of this merchandise.
I can be contacted for additional information on my knowledge of this event given freely
and with my consent this day of April, 2012

Attention Mr. Kenneth Manfredi
RE: Joseph J Titone; RFA No.12.16211
April 23, 2012
UPS STORE 3523
PAGE 01/01
Dear Mr. Manfredi:
I read your Florida Bar complaint. RE: no. above, and have the following to offer as to
what took place between Mr. Baysinger and Mr. Titone after Ernesto Liebster's death. I
have the following recollection of the facts as they relate to my conversation with them
regarding Kobaltek Inc, Emesto's Company, end reference PO #00987345:
After Mr. Liebster's death I received a call from Mr. Titone requesting a copy of the PO
above, for which I sent to Titone's partner Darren Baysinger. He said that he was
representing Mrs. Liebster arid Mr. Menfrtwil In a case for damages for the missing locks
they had stored in a warehouse in Miami. He further went on to explain that he was
working with Mr. Baysinger who was helping Manfredi and Llebster gather information
for a deposition with DTS, the warehouse In Miami. Upon receiving the PO Mr.
Baysinger requested that I add his name to the contact line and white out" Mr. I .iebster's
name. He specifically stated that Mr. Thong said it would hold "more credibility' and
show standing in this case, if I altered the PO to reflect Raysinger's name instead of
Liebster's name on the PO for the model 4000 Millennium Lock we were selling in
Jamaica. The copy of the PO you sent me is the original, clearly showing Liebster's
name as the contact and any copy after this one would be a counterfeit.
i felt it dishonest to accommodate Mr. Titone and Mr. Baysinger in their request for
altered documents and so refused to do so. Any and all documents that I had in this
matter were signed by Mr. Liebster and any and all conversations prior to his death were
with Mr.Manfredl or Mr. Llebster. I did not know who Mr. Baysinger was and Mr. Uebster
never mentioned his name as a confect for this order. I did know of Mr. Titone based on
my previous residence in Ft Lauderdale and his history of being disbarred in the early
1990's. I did not know he was still practicing law in the State of Florida until I received his
call about the documents in question.
The above statement is of my own feel will and as per your request for my recollection of
the circumstances that I personally witnessed as the sates agent for Mr. Llebster
concerning this order and the events that followed with Mr. Titone end Mr. Liebster. I am
available for any questions you may need concerning my business with Mr. Llebster and
this PO we had for the sale of the locks to Jamaica.
Sincerely,
Sherman Daley

Kobaltek in the litigation with DTS.
5. I first became aware of the Kobaltek/DTS litigation when my brother
Joe(in June of 2011) asked me if it was ok to use my trust account for the•
distribution of any settlement proceeds from said lawsuit. I said It would be
ok as long as his client agreed.
6. On June 24, 2011 I deposited the settlement proceeds ($25,000.00) into
my trust account and set up a trust account ledger for the deposit. See
attached exhibits.

from my trust account on my July 2011 statement,
8. That In late January 2012 I received the attached correspondence from
Cristina Liebster dated January 23, 2012 (attached to this correspondence

9. I did not respond to Cristina Liebster's correspondence of January 23,
2012 and I did not discuss its contents with my either Joe or Darrin.
10. On April 5, 2013 I received a copy of a draft complaint naming me as a
possible defendant in a lawsuit under file #2071-001.
11. On April 8, 2011 I researched my files and sent my correspondence to
Attorney Reppas dated that same day.
12. I am herein sending this affidavit in response to correspondence
received from attorney Reppas dated April 11, 2013,
13. The above Is all I know regarding this matter and describes my entire
Involvement In the matter.

Mr. Darren BaysInger
Mr. Joseph Tltone,
January 23, 2012
After speaking to Chris Trainor, CFO of DTS, in New Jersey, I have received
confirmation on a settlement that was made to Joseph Titone on your behalf. The
settlement amount of $26,000.00 for equipment owned legally by Ernesto Llebster
was sent to Anthony Titone's Trust account on behalf of Joe Titone and Kobaltek. My
dad's estate has notified Mr. Trainor that DTS was the victim of a hoax perpetrated by
you and Tltone. Mr. Trainor has offered to help us recover the money sent to Anthony
Titone's Trust Account; which Mr. Goldstein found strange being that the Titones do not
practice out of the same office.
Additionally I spoke to Mark Goldstein, DTS attorney, who confirmed the fact that he
though the whole'procoss was a sham, based on the "doctored" documents that you
provided at the depositiona. Against Mr. Goldstein's advice, Chris Trainor thought It best
to give you 26,000, to settle the matter. Mr. Goldstein has been most cooperative and
had provided us with the documents from the lawsuit filed by you and Tltone.
As both you and Joe Titono know, by Florida Law, after Ernesto's death, MI property of
the decedent goes to the wife, CriatIna Llebster who had extended no permission to you
or Titone to file the lawsuit or act as an agent/representative for the estate of Ernesto
Liebster or on her behalf. We both know that Kobaltek was formed after my father's
death for the purpose of trying to show that you had standing In the case; which would
not have mattered anyway. I have a copy of the corporate filing for Kobaltek that proves
this was the case. In addition we also notified the defendant that Kobaltek was not the
owner.
The fact remains that lawsuit was filed fraudulently and with the purpose to further
defraud the Llebster's of money owed to them for the theft of equipment by Ron Daniels
of Millennium Look Inc, for which you or Kobeltek had no ownership. Please see the
attached settlement document which supports our claim. The estate has received
nothing and all my calls have been ignored by you and Tltone.
By receipt of this letter, you are hereby notified that we are demanding restitution for
the money received by you from this settlement. Per the advice of counsel, the estate
is extending to you the opportunity to make things right In this matter for a period of
48 hours after receipt. If the estate does not receive a response or restitution In this
timeframe or you decide to Ignore our request for what Is rightfully ours we'll assume
that you have no Intention to correct this situation and act accordingly by Florida law.
