(55,745 posts)BFEE connected pukes stole the patents and the INSLAW "PROsecutor Management Information System" software from a private company owned by a husband and wife developers in the mid-80s. The Hamiltons sued and a Federal judge ruled against the government, finding that members of the U.S. Government engaged in a criminal conspiracy to steal the software and privatize the profits, ripping off the owners for a lot of loot. So, rather than pony up, the Reagan-Bush-Meese Justice Department turned the failed prosecutor into the Appeals judge who then ruled for them.

The government's appointed agents, the BFEE connected friends of Reagan-Bush-Meese, would go on to sell it to countries around the world interested in monitoring "criminal cases" as they wound through their GULAGs. Later on, the software is alleged to have been used for all sorts of back-door dealings to find out "Who" was "Where" in "Which" GULAG.
