Hillary Clinton was the intellectual property lawyer for Systematics.<ref>According to The ''American Lawyer'', July 1992: "[Hillary] Clinton also was attracted to intellectual property litigation. 'We did not have any intellectual property expertise when she joined us,' says [Vince] Foster, who adds that Clinton got involved in this area through her work for the firm client, Systematics Inc., a company based in Little Rock that provided computer systems for financial institutions. 'She became sort of self-taught in all of this,' explains Foster. 'And you don't find a lot of intellectual property subspecialists in Arkansas. Quite frankly, the rest of us here thought of it as a foreign language.'"</ref> Part of this "intellectual property" would involve a banking transaction software system based on the stolen PROMIS software. A federal bancruptcy court had ruled in 1987 that the US Justice Dept. 'stole' the PROMIS software from small company called [[Inslaw Inc]] when the DOJ refused to pay Inslaw for it. US intelligence took the PROMIS software and added a hiden "backdoor" for monitoring banking transactions and money laundering. Systematics was the marketing firm the [[National Security Agency]] (NSA) was using to get the PROMIS software with the hidden backdoor into the hands of banks worldwide. The intellectual property that Hillary handled and that Systematics was marketing had been stolen from Inslaw.

Systematics was founded in 1968 by University of Arkansas graduate Walter Smiley, who learned of the high software costs and other difficulties faced by small banks in trying to use data processing software from his experiences working with IBM and in the banking industry. Smiley recognized a niche that could be filled for medium-sized banks in this space, and sought funding to start his own company.<ref>http://walton.uark.edu/abhf/walter-v-smiley.php </ref> Through Jon Jacoby, Smiley was introduced to the Stephens family, who agreed to invest $400,000 in Walter and Systematics in return for 80% equity stake.<ref>http://www.stephensgroup.com/our-portfolio-partners/case-studies </ref> Jon Jacoby is the father of Mary Jacoby, wife of Glenn Simpson,<ref>http://library.fora.tv/speaker/6818/Glenn_Simpson </ref> the founder and owner of [[FusionGPS]].

Systematics also came to be represented by Beryl Anthony, a partner at the Washington law office of Winston and Strawn, former treasurer of the [[Democratic National Committee]], former chairman of the [[Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee]], and husband of Vince Foster's sister Sheila Foster Anthony. It was Sheila Anthony who, while Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs at the [[Justice Department]], effected a $286,000 transfer to Lisa Foster from a [[Democratic National Committee]] account held at Mellon Bank, just four days before Vince Foster met his death. Upon Foster's death, Hillary Clinton directed the removal of files from Foster's office.
