At the time, Brian's company Biotech Capital Corp (later renamed Infotechnology 1987) controlled Hadron, which attempted a buyout of Inslaw.
At first Brian marketed the PROMIS software to intelligence organizations, including [[Israel]] and [[Iraq]] (the latter deal facilitated by arms dealer Carlos Cardoen). In February 1983 Brian sent Rafi Eitan to the Inslaw offices for a demonstration of the PROMIS software. Rafi Eitan was to later head up LAKAM, Israel's scientific and technological [[espionage]] agency which oversaw the [[Jonathan Pollard]] spying operation.
Brian was indicted in California in September 1995. The indictment concerned ten s of millions of dollars of fraudulent lease transactions, while Brian was Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of three separate companies: Infotechology, Financial News Network (FNN), and [[United Press International]] (UPI).
