Asked how many times Black had made threats to members of the special committee, Breeden testified he was not sure he could remember them all. "Mr. Black begins many conversations by threatening everybody," Breeden said.

Breeden testified that Black began a meeting "glaring" at the directors present and threatened to sue them for libel in Canada. Black later did so. Black also noted that he knew where two of the members of the special committee lived, and could have one of those houses taken away, Breeden said.

Breeden also said he suspected that if Black's efforts to sell the business were successful, Black would put the proceeds of the sale into a bank in "Beirut, Gibraltar, or some such place" where investigators seeking to recover the money would have little chance.

The trial got under way on Wednesday with accusations from the present chief executive that Black lined his pockets with improper payments. Testimony is expected to go through today, when Black was expected to take the stand. A ruling is expected by the end of next week.
