Continued from Page 1 and its parent company, American Continental Corp. of Phoenix, claimed $15.5 million in phony profits from two bogus land brans- actions to justify $5.8 million in tax collections from Lincoln that were never paid the government.

Those two deals, involving some 1,500 acres of desert land outside Phoenix plus a stock transaction and the tax arrangement, are "literally just the tip of the iceberg," James P. Murphy, an attorney for the government, told Sporkin. CTConnell testified American Continental, of which Keating is chairman, collected $94.8 million in deferred taxes from the thrift from 1984 through 1988 rmfch of it on phony profits from real, estate deals. Lincoln's attorneys say the tax- sharing arrangement under which American Continental bundled the taxes owed by both it Lincoln were approved by federal regulators in San Francisco. O'Connell, however, said Lincoln had "misrepresented" its nature to the San Francisco officials.

Federal regulations, he said, allow a holding company only to act as a collector of current taxes owed by a thrift subsidiary, not deferred taxes. He said Keating' tax-sharing arrangement amounted to an interest-free loan from Lincoln to its holding company, which is pro- hibited by federal law. Asked how much of the $94.8 million went to pay taxes, O'Connell said, "Our best estimate is zero." The regulator said that four months before Lincoln was seized, the government ordered American Continental to repay Lincoln $60 million of the tax payments it had collected from the thrift. But American Continental declared bankruptcy last April 13, one day before the government seized Lincoln and before any of the money was refunded, said O'Connell. Meanwhile, thrift regulators said Thursday that 16 were permitted to sell $3 billion in uninsured debt to their retail customers, the same practice that cost many depositors at Lincoln their life savings.

Some 22,000 investors, many of them elderly pensioners and widows, lost an estimated $250 million by purchasing subordinated debt in American Continental in 1987 and 1988. Despite that, the same practice was permitted at other including seven which received permission for sales this year.
