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.
Part Twelve
This is his story, in his own words.
Part Twelve
GREG SZYMANSKI: I just wanted to verify from you that this amount of money is a real amount, correct?
LEO WANTA: The money is a real amount correct, but like you said it's the minimum amount because each day it accrues.
GREG SZYMANSKI: And so there could be at this point it's more that $27 trillion?
LEO WANTA: Oh, sure. The last time the IRS and the US Treasury did an audit, I think it was $26-$27 T and that's when they were giving me more pressure. And, I wasn't moving.
GREG SZYMANSKI: I wanted to set the record straight that this court ruling does protect this money for the american people and puts you as basically trustor, the caretaker of this money, correct?
LEO WANTA: Right, the judge ruled that I should go recover the money and pay taxes on all the recovery directly to the IRS. We're going to give copies to his clerk so he knows that he did his part.
GREG SZYMANSKI: Now, if people wanted to check this out how would they be able to find the court document?
LEO WANTA: It's 02-1363-A and it was filed April 15, 2003 by Federal Judge Gerald Bruce Lee in Alexandria, Virginia.
GREG SZYMANSKI: Now, many people say it's a rarity to see an honest judge anymore he appears to be one...
LEO WANTA: A senior one at that, a senior federal judge. And he's got all these exhibits and sealed documents and he's shocked absolutely shocked.
GREG SZYMANSKI: An interesting part of this story, is how much money that's been traced that's missing so far. Tell us [about] the trail to track this money down, how hard that's been.
LEO WANTA: It's really hard, because you have to keep in mind that the banks that have this money were probably told I was dead or missing. Or, they paid certain things into other private banking relationships and used it for collateral. So they're taking loans they know they don't have to pay back. Everything they borrow from us and they loan out is really all profit to the banks. Plus, the banks can use that for their asset control.
GREG SZYMANSKI: I've seen a list of some of those accounts. Some traced back to Bush and other people. That's a fact right?
LEO WANTA: Oh yes, yes. That was on the (fencin doc?) and that was a tremendous amount of money. An audit was done and that is all [in] records from the Fed Reserve that we got. Because we can use PROMIS software from Inslaw. We have four units.
GREG SZYMANSKI: So you can bring this money back to the Treasury right?
LEO WANTA: Correct. But we're going to go through Judge Lee's clerk of courts.
GREG SZYMANSKI: You've gone this route to protect yourself right?
LEO WANTA: Correct and we even filed suit in the US Supreme Court and they refused to take the case because it was too political. I didn't know the Supreme Court was under a political arm.
GREG SZYMANSKI: Tell us how you came to this agreement [to collect and turn over $4.5 trillion].
LEO WANTA: Well, we had to go to the courts in Virginia to prove that we had an agreement and [that] these funds were set aside for all of the protocol agreements.
The judge ruled that the United States had immunity, but he did not rule that I was the trustor of all the funds. He just ruled that all the powers: The CIA, and the Treasury Department, and the State Department, and everybody else had immunity. So they didn't have to testify one way or the other which was strange.
But the judge did go ahead and order that we go recover all the money. He wanted to know why the money wasn't in the US Treasury and why taxes hadn't been paid on it. And why, whoever thought they were in charge, refused to allow us to repatriate all this offshore money. So then we argued that; and started to contact a number of investigators. They went to all of the european banks of record, about 109 bank accounts. And the banks decided that, oh my god, if this program keeps going and all the audits are done, so many things are going to be exposed.
So they came and agreed to $4.5 trillion just to shut [us] up. And, no audits and life goes on. I don't talk to them and they don't talk to us. We'd get a gag order and we'd get $4.5 trillion. We immediately notified the Treasury and they agreed that right now the tax base is around 35% or $1.575 trillion [on the $4.5 trillion] and since we're incorporated in the state of Virginia, we would have to set aside $270 billion for the state. We still don't know what the city and county taxes would be.
GREG SZYMANSKI: Okay, so this agreement was signed, the money transferred on June 12, (2006) it is there. The Fed is blocking it for some unknown reason, we'll get to that later. Tell us about, who did you actually enter in to this agreement with?
LEO WANTA: Well we have gag orders, but a number of attorneys that represent the pool of all the banks. They protect their clients. They just put the money on the table and say go away.
GREG SZYMANSKI: You also met years ago with John Roberts, you think he may have helped you get this agreement together, correct?
LEO WANTA: Yeah, John Roberts. Roberts worked with all of us when we were at the Whitehouse with Reagan in '81 through '88. They all knew who I was. They could not deny who I was, because you know, I was one of the few guys that went into certain quarters underneath the Whitehouse to get from place to place. And remember that Casey at that time was in the old exec office building and at the FBI we would go behind the stage and get through the FBI without being, shall we say, filed or reported.
GREG SZYMANSKI: So you're basically dealing with US authorities, and...
LEO WANTA: And corporate attorneys and bank attorneys and so on and so forth.
LEO WANTA: Well I have a problem with the Fed Reserve invovled with this at all because this was a private deal between the United States and us; and these bankers that consorted in the pool of $4.5 T.
Under the HR 3723, everything that we were doing was protected under federal statute. Under the Economic Espionage Act of 1996. Which protects all of our proprietary economic information. There was no reason for them to be involved. They're not invoved. We don't need their services. They're a clearing house; we have our own banks that will do all of these things.
We have got all the boilerplate protection that we need and we don't need other groups to come in and try to participate for a fee. Or not participate, by not allowing a deal to go through. They're not in charge. They have no money involved, so why should they be in charge?
GREG SZYMANSKI: And if they don't release the money? You still can, as the trustor go after the whole amount, correct?
LEO WANTA: Well, yeah. They're in default. The banks [would be] in default. The banks would be extremely upset. They settled a $27.5 trillion claim in the federal courts for $4.5 trillion and this reopens everything for resettlement. They certainly would pay more not less. They already have acknowledged that they had property of [mine] that didn't belong to them. They've been using it internally for whatever reasons, and I don't care, since we have agreed to quietly be quiet. And we get the $4.5 T and the Treasury gets paid and Virginia gets paid and life goes on at a very fast pace.
