I was told that the man who received all the
cash and paid out was Wong Fung Sek. So far as I can
remember I never saw a cheque signed by Hodge.
I regarded the Auctioneering and Brokering Co.,
Ltd. as a corporate entity in which Hodge was a mere
cypher and I was satisfied with them for the business

anything to do with the Company's finances, I regarded
him as simply acting as auctioneer at the sales.
