Leo Wanta, US Secret Service Treasury Official speaks

[David Merrill]

I came across a snippet and spotted what I thought a good place to start validation. It failed according to the books in the photo.

There are some topically related and very important things on my mind. That is why if the foundational leads would have panned out then I would certainly be all over this Leo Wanta funds thing.

The leads to important discoveries about Leo Wanta's trillions failed. So that is as far as I am bothering to take it.

Well that was a good suggestion, I emailed link to Symanski.

I'm not familiar at all with usenet and have no idea what it's about.

HEADLINE: NONDESCRIPT MAN HAS WILD TALES TO TELL
BYLINE: By Marv Balousek; Wisconsin State Journal

The tax evasion trial of Leo Wanta last week before Dane County Judge Michael Torphy had all the elements of a fiction thriller: espionage, international intrigue, assassination attempts.

The trouble was that these events apparently took place mostly in Wanta's mind. Instead of the high drama of a spy trial, the case had the unfortunate air of one man's tragedy. Despite his delusions and a stint at Mendota Mental Health Institute, Wanta was found competent to stand trial. His testimony last week was matter-of-fact and full of details. In fact, he appeared to lack the evasiveness one might expect from a true secret agent.

A small, round man with glasses, Wanta bears no resemblance to James Bond except in the tales he tells.

His delusions, however, apparently extended worldwide. Prosecutors said Wanta was arrested for fraud in Singapore and Geneva, where he told Swiss authorities he was a Somalian ambassador and a friend of Al Gore.

When the charges of failing to pay Wisconsin state income taxes were filed against him, he claimed diplomatic immunity. He was accused of setting up several dummy corporations to launder money through foreign banks.

On Wednesday, Wanta tried to introduce three bulging Airborne Express envelopes into evidence. He claimed the envelopes provided proof that he worked as a U.S. Treasury agent.

Prosecutor Douglas Haag of the Attorney General's office sifted through the material, finding hotel and airline receipts but nothing with U.S. Treasury markings.

Even public defender John Chavez grew a little impatient at times with his flamboyant and uncooperative client.

Wanta talked of how he rescued President Ronald Reagan from an assassination attempt at the White House and how he uncovered a covert Illinois group, Itasca, which supplied arms to Israel.

Itasca certainly sounds like it could make a great name for a terrorist group. Unfortunately, it's probably just the name of an Illinois city.

A jury didn't believe Wanta's wild claims and found him guilty of six counts of tax evasion for the years 1988 and 1989.

''You probably owe me money since you claim I'm a resident of Wisconsin,'' Wanta hissed to Haag at one point during the three-day trial. ''I moved from Wisconsin in January of 1989 forever and ever and ever.''

Although a sentencing date hasn't been set, now it looks like Wanta will be in Wisconsin for a while.

HEADLINE: 'DELUSIONAL' CON MAN GETS EIGHT-YEAR TERM

BYLINE: BY MIKE MILLER THE CAPITAL TIMES

Leo Wanta, the Appleton man who claimed to be an international businessman with connections to government agencies but was portrayed by prosecutors as an international con artist, will be spending the next few years in Wisconsin prisons.

Wanta, 55, who was convicted in May of tax evasion, was given an eight-year prison term Monday by Dane County Circuit Judge Michael Torphy, who also ordered a six-year probation to follow.

For his part, Wanta -- described as delusional by his own attorney -- continued his scam to the end, claiming the court had no jurisdiction over him, that he was a victim of a vicious Department of Revenue and state Justice Department.

''I know there is a conspiracy and subterfuge here,'' Wanta said when given a chance to speak. At various times he has claimed to be a CIA agent, an ambassador from Somalia, a close friend of former Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush, and an international businessman.

Assistant Attorney General Douglas Haag, who prosecuted the case, and attorney Steven Epstein, who represented Wanta, disagreed mightily over who Wanta was and what he should get for a sentence.

''As tax fraud cases go, this one is big-time,'' said Haag, who established during the trial that Wanta made $ 166,000 in 1988 and claimed to have made nothing, and made $ 63,000 in 1989 and claimed zero on his taxes.

Haag said that money came from a $ 500,000 scam in which Wanta got people to invest in a currency exchange deal.

''Mr. Wanta is in fact a con man, nothing more and nothing less,'' he said. ''He is a con man who cons con men.''

Haag said Wanta was arrested in Switzerland in 1993 for attempting an $ 81 million bank fraud. Wanta claimed diplomatic immunity in that case, contending he was the Somalian ambassador to Canada. The Swiss deported him to the United States, where he was arrested in New York on the Wisconsin tax fraud charge.

Wanta is also described in the book, ''A Thieve's World,'' as being involved in an attempted scam involving Russian rubles.

''He is a world class con man,'' said Haag. ''A snake oil salesman. But he was unable to sell that snake oil to the jury.''

Haag asked for a sentence of 13 years in prison and another 12 on probation.

Epstein, on the other hand, said Wanta clearly is delusional.

He called Haag's allegations ''a lot of shadows and smoke and allegations of wrong doing around the world,'' but pointed out Wanta has never before been convicted of a crime.

''The portrait that has been painted by Doug Haag is not the real Leo Wanta,'' said Epstein.

''He exists in a different world,'' Epstein said of his client. ''The fact of the matter is he is in a different orbit,'' Epstein said, adding that Wanta actually believes the stories he tells.

Epstein, who said the tax evasion sentences of Leona Helmsley, Michael Milken and even the notorious Al Capone were less than Haag's recommendation, asked Torphy to let Wanta go for the 444 days he has spent in jail since he was arrested.

Wanta, a portly, gray-haired man, then arose and began an extended speech in which he blamed his woes on others, cutting short his remarks only when Torphy reminded him that the case had already been tried.

''I just want to be left alone,'' Wanta said, adding that if that was done, ''I won't sue them for false arrest.''

Torphy said he was sentencing Wanta only on the tax matter.

''I don't purport to sentence him as a con man,'' the judge said. ''I don't purport to sentence him as a swindler.''

But he said the tax evasion was serious enough to warrant prison time and as deterrent both to Wanta and to others.

[Demosthenes]

I took a look at the RBN article.

Greg talked with former Ambassador Leo Wanta, a former U.S. Treasury official under President Ronald Reagan.

Treasury officials are public record. There is no public record of Wanta ever working for the Treasury.

Wanta spend 134 days in a Swiss dungeon and is still serving, under house arrest in Switzerland, 10 years of a 22 year sentence for bogus Wisconsin income tax charges.

Wanta was sentenced to 8 years in his Wisconsin tax evasion case. He spent those years in a Wisconsin prison (the Kettle Moraine Correctional Institution in Plymouth, Wisconsin), then a private Oklahoma prison (the North Fork Correctional Facility in Sayre, Oklahoma) not in house arrest in Switzerland.

A recent federal court ruling held in favor of Wanta's trustee authority of the enormous amount of money, an appointment made by Reagan. Presently, he said the only thing keeping him alive is "I know where the money is and they don't," wanting to return it to the U.S. Treasury and the American people before the criminals in Washington, including Bush and Clinton, manipulate the money into private accounts using the fraudulent Federal Reserve system to their advantage.

Actually, in 2003 the court ruled against Wanta in his lawsuit against the government and dismissed the case. Here's the last filings from that civil docket.


04/25/2003 17 ORDER AND JUDGMENT in accordance with the accompanying memorandum opinion, it is hereby ORDERED that defts the United States of America, et al.'s motion to dismiss is GRANTED, ORDERED that pltf Ambassador Leo Wanta's motion to amend complaint is DENIED. The clerk is directed to ENTER JUDGMENT in favor of the United States of America, John Ashcroft, Attorney General of the United States, Paul O'Neill, former Secretary of the Treasury, and George Tenet, Director, Central Intelligence Agency and against Ambassador Leo Wanta pursuant to FRCP 58.

HEADLINE: TAX SUSPECT CLAIMS RENO AS LAWYER

BODY:

A man who tried to convince a court his 15 lawyers include U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno was cautioned by a judge that he should have brought one along for a hearing on a $ 200,000 tax matter.

After listening to Leo Wanta's explanations Thursday for failing to appear in court in Madison with an attorney, Judge Richard Nowakowski told him he'd better have one in time for another Circuit Court hearing Jan. 4.

Wanta, of Appleton, is accused of owing more than $ 200,000 in state income tax. He was recently brought back to the United States from Switzerland, where he had been jailed on fraud charges. What was supposed to be a preliminary hearing before Nowakowski became an earful.

Wanta said he should be represented by the U.S. Justice Department because he has been a government agent for the Customs Office and the CIA.

Besides contacting Reno, he said, he has spoken with 14 lawyers. Nowakowski inquired whether Wanta really thinks the government will be his counsel.

''I will have the U.S. attorney for sure,'' Wanta replied.

When the court turned to the subject of bail, Wanta claimed diplomatic immunity, saying he surrendered his passport in October to become ambassador to Somalia.

''I should not be here,'' he said. ''I am a diplomat.''

Nowakowski at last told Wanta to save jurisdictional subjects for the Jan. 4 hearing.

''If you fail to have legal representation at that time, I am going to take that as a waiver of your right to have legal counsel,'' he cautioned.

Wanta said he would make arrangements through his Swiss bank to raise money for bond and lawyers. He suggested Nowakowski could help by reducing bail.

Nowakowski concluded the discussion with $ 90,000 bail, saying the sum is ''amply justified'' to discourage Wanta from fulfilling any travel plans he might have in mind.

Artic Beacon has posted an "update".

At the bottom of the page there are 7 links to supposed evidence of the story.

http://www.arcticbeacon.com/7-Aug-2006.html

[David Merrill]

Thanks for the article. The testimony of the Groupe itself is not very convincing except to say that the Groupe is convinced they are in control of a lot of funds.

Symanski's leads turned up an EO# 12333 which failed to even imply there would be Reconstruction funds for the end of the Cold War. The only thing there is that one might presume a large Central Intelligence like that would cost a lot of money yet to be approved by Congress.

Then Leo Wanta's name never occurs in the Name Index of the entire Reagan Administration. Looking on the Arctic Beacon's site one is further discouraged by the newssite about to fold financially.

If there were any backing to credibility I would enjoy discarding Demosthenes' research; you all know I would. However without some kind of evidence aside from testimony out of the mouth of the Groupe itself, I tend to think this Leo Wanta thing is some kind of hoax.

My confidence is fully invested in another bill of exchange cured waiver of tort, judgment nihil decit on September 11, 2001 so you may consider me biased.

Americans and "People in the Know" Speak-Up About The Wanta Plan
Do***entation abounds verifying $4.5 trillion settlement; Arctic Beacon editor subject of veiled death threat by Bush Sr. camp.
7 Aug 2006

By Greg Szymanski



The Leo Wanta story has caused a flood of emails to the Arctic Beacon numbering in the thousands, from all parts of the globe, like a raging windstorm of financial shock and awe, disrupting business-as-usual among top heads-of-state and international bankers.



Let there be no mistake about it, The Wanta Plan is on the lips of the "people in the know" all over the world. The financial plan top officials are discussing represents the release of $4.5 trillion in repatriated off-shore funds tampered with illegally by high-level U.S. authorities.



But it also must be emphasized the $4.5 trillion owed to Wanta and his AmeriTrust Groupe is only the tip of the iceberg of a deeper problem involving trillions more in looted off-shore money, as well as shake-ups in the Federal Reserve banking system and the Bretton Woods system of international monetary management, which established the rules for commercial and financial relations among the world's major industrial states.



As one top financial onlooker who knows the importance of the implementation of The Wanta Plan said:



"If it is not honored shortly, it spells a total collapse of the worldwide banking system and, in turn, a collapse of economic proportions far worse than anything ever seen before."



While officials and bankers this week scramble to get their "financial ducks in order," let's look at what thousands of citizens from America and around the world have said in their emails.



More than 90 percent of the emails were supportive of Wanta's efforts to return trillions to the American economy while, at the same time, applauding his efforts for exposing massive financial corruption by Bush Sr. and Clinton.



Although impossible to print the text of all the emails, here is a typical example of someone backing Wanta's efforts:



I commend you on your hard hitting and excellent articles in an effort to get the Leo Wanta Story out to the public. I have sent your links and headlines to at least 40 people, and most of them have sent it on to their friends and relatives. I have also sent emails to every financial newsletter I get as well as our local

media editors and reporters and asked why I have not seen this in their publications on the web or in print, or reported on their news broadcasts on TV and radio.



My next effort is in progress to get everyone I know to flood their Senators and

Congressmen with letters, faxes or phone calls and DEMAND they answer for their part in this complicity of silence to the American People. Thank You Again...and may you and Mr.Wanta be safe and protected through this whole cleansing of America about to happen! Enough is enough after 9/11, the "Patriot Act" bull and smearing our Constitution with their arrogance, it is a blessing to have Mr. Wanta lead the way to do what is right.



It is time for a massive change in this country's direction...and the media and

Congressional body better sit up and take notice because their credibility is ZIP!! May every American get along side of him and pick up their pen or phone.



Keep up the great reporting!!



Like previously mentioned in the positive and negative Wanta response category, about 10 percent of those who emailed expressed disbelief, citing the extraordinary amount of money as being the biggest stumbling block in putting Wanta's story in the truth category.



Regarding a whole different batch of emails, categorized as the 'do***entation category," about 70 percent of the people emailing were satisfied with the amount of do***entation presented pertaining to the Wanta story, do***entation found either on the internet or in other pertinent federal and state court do***ents available in the public record.



However, for the 30 percent expressing interest for more "docs," as they say, several emailers helped in that regard, bringing attention to the validity of the filing of the AmeriTrust Groupe, Wanta's incarceration in Wisconsin and a 2003 federal court case filed, verifying Wanta's legal trustor status of approximately $27.5 trillion, a large portion of which has been do***ented by Wanta as stolen by operatives working for the Bush and Clinton anti-nationalist gang.



Further, the importance of Wanta's story lies in the meticulous do***entation kept by Wanta himself, do***ents citing important bank accounts and offshore companies, including names of the individual parties involved in the massive bribery and theft ring.



For those, seeking that sensitive do***entation, a portion of the stolen accounts amounting to $743 billion has already been published in the Arctic Beacon archives in past stories. But the remainder of the evidence is in Wanta's possession, and that of other trusted members of his group, all standing ready to release it at the proper time, if necessary, to prove his case.



However, regarding the validity of the corporation, the Arctic Beacon has access to and has seen the incorporation papers of AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc. It is as follows:



AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc. (with a capital 'T' and an 'e' in Groupe) was registered in the Commonwealth of Virginia by the State Corporation Commission, Richmond, on 20th May 2004, as attested by the Clerk of the Commission, Joel H. Peck. Its Registered Offices are at Old City Hall, Suite 350, 1001 East Broad Street, Richmond, VA 23219, USA.
