 Although not much as a challenge, this continuity of my situation with the corruption guy is troubling to me because I feel as if I am being taken for granted to be ready to be left in the unknown with no acknowledgment to my existence, in exchange for better compensation. So, my preference is to have this situation ended as soon as the decision about my offer gets made.

By the way, I wrote THIS intending it to be the last time I would need to put myself in a position where I appear talking to myself with no acknowledgment to my existence from the other side.

 Actually, although I may decide to file other lawsuits related to matters connected to this guy, here I refuse to accept anything beyond the offer I made. For any extra amount I may receive, I would first subtract an amount for its tax and then call on this guy to take the rest of it (This plan was already in my head when I published my book).

In case the reference to the tax in the above needs clarifying, the point is that when dealing with the IRS with regard to that amount I may choose the safety of considering myself to have owned that amount and pay the tax accordingly, leaving the matter of arguing the other interpretation to the guy.  

Also for a little better technicality, I am changing "may receive" in that part above to "would receive"

On second thought, I do not like to offer the guy that if he himself chooses the continuity of the situation. Therefore I am no longer holding myself to what I said above on  february 2. Instead it is good enough for me to replace that with this: I request from the court (and count on that this request would be granted soon enough if known) to allow this guy to end this matter at my offer by this sunday (february 11). Also, except for this request, this solution also cancels the preference degree over other factors, which I gave above for this to end as soon as possible.

Just read a letter from the IRS, dated 1/26. It contain tips for filing taxes, and one of them stated that (contrary to what my previous research which was strongly enforced by remembering that the people who were given cars on that talk show were told to pay the taxes on those cars led me to believe) the receiver of a gift is not required to pay the tax on that gift. So, how does this apply here? Doesn't my offer implies being ready to engage in a contact and that would make what I receive taxable? If so but instead what I would receive would for all tax purposes correctly account as gift, shouldn't the tax amount be deducted for the guy?

 I am allowing deducting the tax amount from the offer I made if it will be paid as none taxable gift according to the laws and regulations.
