In 2006, former US Treasury agent Leo Wanta, gave a series of interviews to Greg Szymanski. He claimed he was attempting to return trillions of dollars that lay in offshore accounts to the US Treasury.
This is his story, in his own words.
GREG SZYMANSKI: It's said this fund that was started, the Global Security Fund, and what Bush and Clinton wanted to do now; was to somehow copycat what you were doing. But, to use the money privately. Instead of bringing it back to the Treasury? Correct?
LEO WANTA: Correct and to pay taxes on that money.
GREG SZYMANSKI: Okay. So that's what they wanted to do with you and that's really why they wanted you out of the picture, correct?
LEO WANTA: Yeah, they wanted me out of the game. But at the same time, return all of the trust assets to individuals. And not to the U.S.Department of the Treasury. I feared that in a couple of years, somebody's gonna ask for an audit and I'm not going to have the money. And, I'm gonna be in prison for life.
GREG SZYMANSKI: Bingo. And we're talking about how much money, you think?
LEO WANTA: Oh, at that time we had let's see, boomp-boomp-boomp. I would estimate in 1993, we had assets well over $16-18 trillion in prime bank guarantees, 2000 tons of gold, [another] 167 tons of gold, cash-wise we probably had, oh, $500 billion assorted currencies.
GREG SZYMANSKI: Which you're still the trustor for right?
LEO WANTA: Yeah. And I'm also the owner of it because Howe's dead. And I still owe 50% of the final outlay to his estate. Which he has two beautiful kids.
GREG SZYMANSKI: Clinton, Bush the rest of them [are] trying to get it into private hands. You want to take the money; put it back into the Treasury.
LEO WANTA: Per the original protocol agreements, yes.
GREG SZYMANSKI: And there, is the reason they are after you, correct?
LEO WANTA: Yeah, but they can't kill me right away because they don't know where all the money is.
GREG SZYMANSKI: They don't know where it's at?
LEO WANTA: Well, they know some of it. They have ripped off 4 or 5 of my computers already. But a lot of this stuff is based on custodial safekeeping reciepts in banks, which open up other assets and numbers and passcodes and stuff.
GREG SZYMANSKI: So the CIA has discredited you, even had you declared dead. Didn't they?
LEO WANTA: Correct. So they could go through all the banking community, and the bank managers, and say he's never showing up here; so now we're in charge of these accounts.
GREG SZYMANSKI: And they've tried discrediting you, now tell us how this backstabbing occurred and what really happened happened to this money?
LEO WANTA: Well, we had a trading program for 5 T [trillion] through the World Bank; and it was going to be generated by the swiss banks.
I was in Toronto and I left Toronto [for] Paris to meet President [Haji maheelamashi?] because I was now being appointed the Ambassador of Somalia to Canada and to Switzerland. So under cover of that we had the 5 T contracts with the World Bank and the UN under Contract #4.
[This] would also rebuild Somalia and [give] us a naval supply depot there. Mogadishu Airport would have been a US Airforce station and we would have a rapid deployment force there to protect and control the Middle East from idiots that want to cause war.
So we were in Switzerland. One of the major banks started the first leg of the 5 T [trillion] contract which would have generated $210 billion. Of which $70 billion was set aside for, let's see: $30 billion to Russia, $5 billion to Canada, $5 billion to Mexico, $5 billion to London, $5 billion to France, $500 million to Western Samoa to build an oil refinery [which was] only feeding [to] the United States. We would have had a brand new high-tech refinery in Western Samoa. And $70 billion would have went back into AmeriTrust, and $70 billion would have went into the US Treasury, for whatever the Economic Presidential Council [sic] wanted to do. Laura d tyson? and all these people.
So we would have been very secure and very satisfied with the influx of cash.
Vince Foster made a special request through the Whitehouse at that time. He needed 250 million dollars set aside for the Childrens Defense Fund, which was approved by the Whitehouse. At that time, by a Laura D'Andrea Tyson who was the chairperson of the Whitehouse Economic Counsel. [She] was in Geneva.
We arranged $250 million for the Childrens Defense Fund [for] their request, based on the 5 T [trillion] UN Contract #4.
We moved the first initial traunches of $243 million, which would have [given] them a face value of 300 million to start the computers working. A dry run more or less. That was three $81 million transfers. [This] would give a par value prime bank guarantee of $100 million per each $81 million dollars released.
Vince Foster was staying there. Suddenly, all heck broke loose. I was arrested and detained by the Swiss ceratape? for failure to pay Wisconsin taxes, although I haven't lived in Wisconsin since 1985, being on US government seal operations.
[They] threw me in a dungeon. Vince Foster came to my rescue. He came back to Washington DC, to assist in getting my immediate release from all this nonsense.
Then he was murdered. I know he didn't commit suicide. No one with $250 million in his briefcase commits suicide.
They had me incognito. Only a handful of people knew I was in the swiss dungeon in Lausanne.
Then Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, came to my rescue because he was part of an agreement we had between the palestinians and the state of Israel. The Ameritrust corporation, of which I'm the chairman of the board, was going to grant the state of Israel 5 billion, and the Palestine government at that time, $5 billion a piece. To [encourage] a solid peace program. Which we would have controlled all the funds, so the funds would not be removed from the recovery. The redevelopment of roads and infrastructure.
He notified the Swiss government that he was coming to rearrange the furniture, as we say.
I was immediately extradited to New York, without any arrest warrants, without anything at all. Just put me on a plane, under armed guard, and shackles. I ended up in New York, and the FBI was saying, "What the hell are you doing here?"
I didn't have an American passport, I had a Somalian passport. A diplomatic passport, so they figured they were being swindled by somebody.
In the meantime, Yitzhak Rabin, got murdered.
I went to the Brooklyn House of Detention. They were supposed to remove me to Madison, Wisconsin, so I could get a hearing and get released.
The Federal Judge Alyce Ross says, "You know Mr. Ambassador, I don't know what your here for and I don't want you here. Get the hell out of here." More or less [that's what she said].
But before she dismissed everything against me by the state of Wisconsin, which I haven't lived in since 1985, she asked me, "Why are you carrying these $1 billion notes, these securities."
I started to explain it and immediately the US Attorney jumped in and he says, "We dismiss all the charges. He's free to go he's, free to go. We make a motion, US government."
And I went to the [courthouse] steps only to be arrested by New York detectives. Without a warrant. But, based on a phone call from the state of Wisconsin to hold me for civil tax evasion for 1982.
GREG SZYMANSKI: We left off where you were named the Ambassador [of] Somalia [to] Switzerland and Canada. Basically to deal with the Vince Foster issue and Mark Rich?
LEO WANTA: We had [a] tremendous [number] of security plans to use in Mogadishu And it would have helped all the people, remember the Cubans were fighting in the upper part of Somaliland.
GREG SZYMANSKI: Okay. So...
LEO WANTA: We had a vested interest in there.
GREG SZYMANSKI: Now what happened to...You were also there for Rich, correct? Mark Rich?
LEO WANTA: Well yeah, we were there because we were doing this settlement, and we were also taking down Mark Rich. Because the FBI Director Bill Sessions, gave us a live open arrest warrant to take down Mark Rich at any cost and bring him on back. So we were going to coach him [into] going to a french casino across the lake in Lausanne. But Lorrayne Fine somehow tipped him off, and knew somehow from her cohorts, what we might be doing in Switzerland. We were going to arrest him in the middle between Lausanne and France on the ferry boat.
GREG SZYMANSKI: And what happened?
LEO WANTA: (Laughs) He refused to come at the last minute. And on July 7, 1993 I was arrested for Wisconsin civil tax evasion.
