Vince Foster was an attorney with a professional reputation for integrity, and in the early 1980s began cooperating with Israeli intelligence. But Foster began playing a dangerous game  the mid 1980s when he became the link between Systematics and the [[NSA]], the main US government agency that was looking for fronts to market the stolen [[Inslaw]] [[software]]. Foster had a Swiss bank account and was making one-day trips to [[Switzerland]] every six to eight months. Foster was the bagman for the Arkansas political machine. When he was serving in the [[White House]], on July 1 1993, Foster purchased a round-trip ticket to Switzerland. This prompted [[surveillance]] by [[CIA]] [[counterintelligence]], [[NSA]], [[FBI]], and a four-person [[IRS]] team, putting a tremendous amount of [[psychological]] pressure on him. Foster became alerted and alarmed that he was under surveillance and investigation when he discovered the Swiss bank account had been drained of the $2.73 million deposited there. The account had been drained by ex-CIA hackers who placed the funds in an [[escrow]] account for the CIA.<ref>[http://www.constitution.org/quinnorm.htm Jim Quinn interview with James Norman,] WRRK Radio Pittsburgh, December 7, 1995.<br>Editor's note: James Norman of Media Bypass Magazine published ''Fosergate'', an article detailing the background and circumstances of Vince Foster's death.
