Inslaw Inc.'s PROMIS, a case management software was allegedly pirated by the Department of Justice in Indio, California by a team including Michael Riconosciuto who put a backdoor in it to sell it to other countries to be able to spy on their searches. This was originally a scheme that Israel was involved in to spy on neighboring countries like Jordan, but it worked well known that the United States wanted to do it against its allies. Since they pirated the software and Inslaw did not sell the software to Reagan connected Earl Brian’s company Infotechnology’s subsidiary, Hadron Inc. the Department of Justice refused payments causing Inslaw Inc. to be forced to declare bankruptcy.
Despite Inslaw Inc. not selling Earl Brian alleged had accessed to the pirated version of the PROMIS software. Inslaw Inc. company was supposed to be given Earl Brian as a favor due to his alleged part in the alleged 1980 October Surprise where Reagan administrators allegedly bribed Iran to stall the release of American hostages detained in Iran due to the Iran hostage crisis until after Ronald Reagan won the presidency. This would mean Jimmy Carter would not benefit from releasing the hostages which would have helped win a re-election. This theory is supported by the fact that the hostages were released minutes after Ronald Reagan had won the presidency.
The Indio, California by a team including Michael Riconosciuto was contracted by Wackenhut with a deal with the Cabazon Indian tribe creating Cabazon Arms as well as John Phillip Nichols who was the man behind the project who used the construction of a casino and tobacco company as cover for covert arms testing both benefit from the protections that come from being in Native American territory. This include the Arms for Contra, the creation of a rail gun, Fuel-Air Explosions, and bioweapons.
Fred Alvarez, Vice Chairman for the Cabazon Indian tribe was trying to find corporate corruption on John Phillip Nichols, but not only find corruption, but discovered the covert testing. Before he could go to the authorities his girlfriend, Patricia Castro, and his friend, Ralph Boger, as well as himself were shot dead by a hitman.
Michael Riconosciuto and Paul Morasca, a money launderer were business partners. Paul Morasca was murdered being hog tied to in a way to kill him when he got tired. Michael Riconosciuto claimed he and Paul Morasca were watched over by Philip Arthur Thompson, a FBI informant and serial killer who Riconosciuto said murdered Morasca.
Michael Riconosciuto was arrested for drug distribution and was released only to shortly put back in jail.
Danny Casolaro, freelance journalist went into investigating the story and tied into to an international criminal enterprise he called The Octopus. He was found to have allegedly kill himself although many people find it suspicious. The notes he brought to Martinsburg, West Virginia were gone with no explanations, he supposedly cut himself in a bath tub despite being squeamish around blood to the point where he can’t do blood tests, and he hands were cut several times severing his tendons on both hands as when tendons are cut the arm becomes unable to work making it hard to think he could have cut both of them.
Other ties he made was FIDCO (First Intercontinental Development Corporation) which was one of the groups that help to rebuild Lebannon, Nugan Hand Bank, and the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) which is referred to as the “bank of crooks and criminals international” as it allows intelligence agencies, drug traffickers, terrorists, and others to funnel money through it.
The Times would say the BCCI "deploys its own intelligence agency, complete with a paramilitary wing and enforcement units, known collectively as the “black network.”
