To: Richard Joslin Cc: Jeffrey Epstein eevaca ion gma .com) From: Fenn, Patrick Sent Thur 2/27/2014 4:09:22 PM Subject: Re: Camp proposal and Sun Capital It's a ridiculous position, unsupported by any authority. If you read the carried interest discussion in Joint Committee reports on the Levin and Obama proposal over the last 7 years, they admit that PE carry is currently capital gain but should be taxed as ordinary income. Revisionist tax history by Camp. From: Richard Joslin Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2014 9:58 AM To: Fenn, Patrick Cc: Jeffrey Epstein Subject: Camp proposal and Sun Capital Patrick: • As you eloquently debated publicly a contrary (and in my belief correct) position on this, I note that Camp (HWM Chair) apparently believes Sun Capital is applicable to Sec 162 and that PE activity is a developer/dealer. From page 121 • A partnership (e.g., private equity fund) that is in the business of raising capital, investing in other businesses, developing such businesses, and ultimately selling them, is in the trade or business of selling businesses. The businesses bought and sold by the partnership are its inventory.
