22 Mr. Bennett’s business. If Dr. Jakubowski did not write her fraudulent report Mr. Bennett would
23 have been enjoying the most fruitful years of his career and a successful business. At 57 years
24 old (at the time Dr. Jakubowski fabricated her report) As a money manager the destruction of

25 Mr. Bennett’s reputation is equivalent to the destruction of his business. Nobody would want
26 someone, who even has a chance of being crazy managing their money. Mr. Bennett had 13-15
27 of the most profitable years remaining in his business. Additionally at retirement Mr. Bennett
28 could have sold his Investment Firm Bennett FS for a multiple of the income. The amount of

Punitive damages should be awarded because this is a clear case of fraud, oppression and malice.
